Toward promising candidates of quantum information processing, the rapid development of
lanthanide-based single-molecule magnets (Ln-SMMs) highlights design strategies in …

Molecular magnetism, though distinctly a field within chemistry, encompasses much more
than synthesis and has strong links with other disciplines across the physical sciences …

Metal-metal bonding interactions can engender outstanding magnetic properties in bulk
materials and molecules, and examples abound for the transition metals. Extending this …

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 …

Increasing the operating temperatures of single-molecule magnets—molecules that can
retain magnetic polarization in the absence of an applied field—has potential implications …

An ab initio methodology for the first‐principle derivation of crystal‐field (CF) parameters for
lanthanides is described. The methodology is applied to the analysis of CF parameters in …

This review considers the most recent experimental developments in the magnetic
anisotropy of mono-nuclear transition metal complexes in various coordination …

The thermostable four-coordinate divalent lanthanide (Ln) bis-amidinate complexes [Ln
(Piso) 2](Ln= Tb, Dy; Piso={(NDipp) 2CtBu}, Dipp= C6H3iPr2-2, 6) were prepared by the …

Systematic analysis of related compounds is crucial to the design of single-molecule
magnets with improved properties, yet such studies on multinuclear lanthanide complexes …

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with one transition-metal ion often rely on unusual
geometry as a source of magnetically anisotropic ground state. Here we report a cobalt (II) …
