This chapter begins with a definition of a single‐molecule magnet (SMM). Molecular
architecture is the key to understanding the magnetic properties of SMMs; therefore, X‐ray …

The field of molecular magnetism has rapidly expanded since the discovery of single-
molecule magnets (SMMs) at the beginning of the 1990s. Numerous SMMs have been …

Concise overview of synthesis and characterization of single molecule magnets Molecular
magnetism is explored as an alternative to conventional solid-state magnetism as the basis …

This chapter provides information on the most often used synthetic methods for the
preparation of homometallic and heterometallic single‐molecule magnets. It explains the …

Nanosized molecular magnetic materials such as single-molecule magnets and single-
chain magnets are recent attractive research targets in the fields of materials chemistry and …

Tailoring the specific magnetic properties of any material relies on the topological control of
the constituent metal ion building blocks. Although this general approach does not seem to …

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) and single-chain magnets (SCMs) are potential
candidates for more dense data storage and quantum computing as well as providing …

The synthesis and study of magnetic nanostructures is of both intense scientific and
technological interest. A single-molecule magnet (SMM) is a molecular nanomagnet that can …

Recently, a new class of nano-magnets has been discovered and called single-chain
magnets (SCMs) by analogy to the single-molecule magnets (SMMs). These materials are …

Single-molecule magnets possess a superior property in comparison to other polynuclear
but only paramagnetic transition metal complexes: single-molecule magnets can be …
