In the early 1990s, great excitement followed the discovery that a molecular transition metal
coordination compound could, at liquid-helium temperatures, retain magnetization for long …

The single-atom bit represents the ultimate limit of the classical approach to high-density
magnetic storage media. So far, the smallest individually addressable bistable magnetic bits …

The pursuit of single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with better performance urges new
molecular design that can endow SMMs larger magnetic anisotropy. Here we report that two …

Abstract Single‐ion magnets (SIMs), exhibiting slow magnetization relaxation in the absence
of the magnetic field, originate from their single spin‐carrier centre. In pursuit of high …

Conspectus Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) can retain their magnetization status
preferentially after removal of the magnetic field below a certain temperature. The unique …

Lanthanide-based single-molecule magnets are leading materials for achieving
magnetization blocking at the level of one molecule. In this paper, we examine the physical …

Incorporation of two characters into one molecular entity is an effective way to afford
bifunctional molecule-based materials. Lanthanides serve as a group of preferable …

Here, we report the synthesis of two new sets of dibismuth-bridged rare earth molecules.
The first series contains a bridging diamagnetic Bi22–anion,(Cp* 2RE) 2 (μ-η2: η2-Bi2), 1 …

Over the past fifteen years or so, the study of f-element single-ion magnets (f-SIMs) has gone
from being a sub-discipline of molecular magnetism to an established field of research in its …

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