The discovery of the first Single-Molecule Magnet, Mn12-ac, in 1993 changed the
perspective of how information can be stored. The current bit, occupying few hundreds of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Scientists have long employed lanthanide elements in the design of materials with
extraordinary magnetic properties, including the strongest magnets known, SmCo5 and …

Molecular magnetism has travelled a long way from the pioneering studies on electron
exchange and double exchange or spin crossover and valence tautomerism in small …

This review examines mononuclear metal complexes with high magnetic anisotropy and the
theoretical approaches used to rationalize their magnetic properties. Electronic structure …

The synthesis and magnetic properties of three new N23–radical-bridged dilanthanide
complexes,{[(Me3Si) 2N] 2 (THF) Ln} 2 (μ-η2: η2-N2)−(Ln= Tb, Ho, Er), are reported. All …

Since the 1990s and the discovery of the first Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs), chemists
and physicists have been working in concert to elaborate such molecular systems and …
