Single-molecule magnets represent the ultimate size limit for spin-based information storage
and processing; however, such applications require large spin relaxation barriers and …

Rare-earth ions are characterized by large unquenched orbital angular momentum
associated with the internal nature of the valence f orbitals. In fact, with the exception of …

Single-chain magnets (SCM) are a novel class of molecular magnetic materials exhibiting
slow magnetic relaxation, which arises from large uniaxial type magnetic anisotropy, strong …

Framework-structured weak ferromagnets are new rising stars in molecule-based magnetic
materials. The framework structures are powerful carriers for long-range ordering of spins …

The first family of rare-earth-based single chain magnets is presented. Compounds of
general formula [M (hfac) 3 (NITPhOPh)], where M= Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, or Yb, and …

Historically most materials in magnetic applications are based on inorganic materials.
Recently, however, organic and molecular materials have begun to show increasing …

The discovery of single molecule magnets (SMMs), about a decade ago,[1] opened up a
very lively scientific area where still both physicists and chemists join their efforts to better …

The design and properties of the most relevant and illustrative examples of β-diketones or β-
ketophenols and related complexes, together with their evolution into more sophisticated …

Numerous molecular compounds in which a paramagnetic Ln (III) ion is in interaction with a
second spin carrier such as a transition metal ion or an organic radical have been …

Molecular magnetism, which includes the study of organic magnets, spin cross‐over, and
large spin clusters, has recently begun to concentrate on the design and synthesis of new …
