We investigated an octanuclear chloro-bridged nickel(II) double cubane [({Ni4II(µ3-OH)Cl3(HL)3}µ2-Cl)2]. Single crystal measurements were performed with a custom 2DEG Hall probe magnetometer. Powder measurements were performed with a commercial SQUID magnetometer. Magnetization measurements show two separated hysteresis loops. Temperature as well as sweep-rate dependencies show single-molecule magnet behavior. The loop around zero magnetic field vanishes at 0.9 K, whereas the one at higher fields closes at 1.3 K. This can be explained by anisotropic coupling of the cubane units with S = 4. Including this fact into the Hamiltonian, all principal features of the hysteresis curve can be described.
