The 55 Mn NMR in oriented powder crystal of Mn12Ac has been investigated at 1.4−2.0 K in zero field and with external fields along the c-axis. Three kinds of 55 Mn NMR, with central frequencies at 230.2±0.1, 279.4±0.1 and 364.±0.1 MHz, composed of five-fold quadrupole-split lines for I=5/2 nuclei have been interpreted to arise from Mn 4+ ion, and two crystallographically-inequivalent Mn 3+ ions...
