Metal–organic frameworks represent the ultimate chemical platform on which to develop a
new generation of designer magnets. In contrast to the inorganic solids that have dominated …

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 …

Nanomagnetism is a rapidly expanding area of research which appears to be able to
provide novel applications. Magnetic molecules are at the very bottom of the possible size of …

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 …

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 …

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 …
