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

Molecular magnetism has travelled a long way from the pioneering studies on electron
exchange and double exchange or spin crossover and valence tautomerism in small …

The literature has shown numerous contributions on the synthesis and physicochemical
properties of persistent organic radicals but there are a lesser number of reports about their …

We review here the synthetic strategies employed in a concerted effort to obtain new single
molecule magnets based on lanthanide ions in the framework of the research program on …

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 …

The quest for higher density information storage has led to the investigation of Single-
Molecule Magnets (SMMs) as potential molecules to be applied in materials such as hard …

Rare-earth β-diketonates are complexes of β-diketones (1, 3-diketones) with rare-earth ions.
These complexes are the most popular and the most intensively investigated rare-earth …

Coordination metal complexes with one-dimensional polymeric structures have long been
investigated as materials with unusual properties. Molecular-based ferromagnets, synthetic …

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 …

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 …
