In this tutorial review we discuss some basic aspects concerning the magnetic properties of
rare-earth ions, which are currently the subject of a renovated interest in the field of …

Heterometallic 3d− 4f complexes are of high interest in molecular magnetism: the lanthanide
ions bring large and, in most cases, anisotropic magnetic moments. The combination of 3d …

H 16 [Ln= Gd (III)(1), Tb (III)(2), Dy (III)(3), Ho (III)(4), Y (III)(5), and Lu (III)(6)] have been …

Magnetic lanthanide–transition-metal hybrid materials have enjoyed increasing attraction
because they not only provide examples for studying magnetic coupling involving …

Polycyanometallate compounds with both photochromism and photomagnetism have
appealing applications in optical switches and memories, but such optical behaviors were …

Heteronuclear cationic complexes, LCuLn 3+ and (LCu) 2Ln 3+, were employed as nodes in
designing high‐nuclearity complexes and coordination polymers with a rich variety of …

Design and synthesis of cyanido-bridged d–f molecular assemblies, often accessible via self-
assembly of anionic building-block [M (CN) 6] 3− and lanthanide ions in the presence of …

A series of homodinuclear lanthanide (III) complexes with the 4-cba ligand,[La2 (4-cba) 6
