Lanthanide (Ln) compounds represent a unique chemical platform for developing high-
temperature single-molecule magnets (SMMs). The shift in research focus from increasing …

One of the attractive properties of the hollow carbon clusters, known as fullerenes, is the
possibility to use them as robust containers for other species. Although an IUPAC …

Increasing the temperature at which molecules behave as single-molecule magnets is a
serious challenge in molecular magnetism. One of the ways to address this problem is to …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), a new class of hybrid molecules formed by
encapsulation of metallic species inside fullerene cages, exhibit unique properties that differ …

Engineering intramolecular exchange interactions between magnetic metal atoms is a
ubiquitous strategy for designing molecular magnets. For lanthanides, the localized nature …

Carbon-based nanomaterials have rapidly advanced over the last few decades. Fullerenes,
carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, graphene oxide, nanodiamonds, and …

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) showing magnetic blocking near or above liquid nitrogen
temperature have recently been achieved by inducing exceptionally strong and axial crystal …

Metal complexes bearing single-electron metal–metal bonds (SEMBs) exhibit unusual
electronic structures evoking strong magnetic coupling, and such bonds can be stabilized in …

Understanding metal-metal bonding involving f-block elements has been a challenging goal
in chemistry. Here we report a series of mixed-valence di-metallofullerenes, ThDy@ C2 n (2 …

Conspectus A characteristic phenomenon of lanthanide–fullerene interactions is the transfer
of metal valence electrons to the carbon cage. With early lanthanides such as La, a …
