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 …

Single‐molecule magnets (SMMs) show wide potential applications in the field of ultrahigh‐
density storage materials, quantum computing, spintronics, and so on. Lanthanide (Ln) …

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) display slow relaxation of the magnetization, purely of
molecular origin, in the absence of an applied magnetic field. This review summarizes the …

A hydroxide-bridged centrosymmetric DyIII dimer with each DyIII being five-coordinated has
been synthesized using bulky hindered phenolate ligands. Magnetic studies revealed that …

Three Dy4 clusters,[Dy4 (tmhd) 8 (L) 2 (CH3OH) 2]· CH3OH (1),[Dy4 (hfac) 8 (L) 2 (DMF) 2]·
C7H16 (2) and [Dy4 (dbm) 6 (L) 2 (μ3-OH) 2]· CH2Cl2 (3)(tmhd= 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-3, 5 …

This review covers single-molecule magnets, not only focussing on developments since
2005 but also including coverage of earlier work where necessary for understanding of …

Magnetic anisotropy is a key component in the design of single-molecule magnets (SMMs)
possessing a large barrier height for magnetization reversal. Lanthanide-based SMMs are …

A series of [2× 2] square grid LnIII4 clusters based on a multidentate chelating ligand N′-(2-
hydroxybenzylidene)-6-(hydroxymethyl) picolinohydrazide (H3L), namely [Ln4 (HL) 4 (μ2 …

A rare end-to-end azido-pinned interlocking lanthanide square was self-assembled using a
ditopic Schiff-base (H2L) and NaN3 as ligands. Obvious ferromagnetic interaction and a …
