Lanthanide (Ln) compounds represent a unique chemical platform for developing high-
temperature single-molecule magnets (SMMs). The shift in research focus from increasing …

One of the attractive properties of the hollow carbon clusters, known as fullerenes, is the
possibility to use them as robust containers for other species. Although an IUPAC …

Increasing the temperature at which molecules behave as single-molecule magnets is a
serious challenge in molecular magnetism. One of the ways to address this problem is to …

Intrinsically recyclable polymers represent a circular economy approach to address plastics
problems. However, the design of such circular polymers is challenged by unyielding trade …

Engineering intramolecular exchange interactions between magnetic metal atoms is a
ubiquitous strategy for designing molecular magnets. For lanthanides, the localized nature …

Understanding metal-metal bonding involving f-block elements has been a challenging goal
in chemistry. Here we report a series of mixed-valence di-metallofullerenes, ThDy@ C2 n (2 …

Conspectus A characteristic phenomenon of lanthanide–fullerene interactions is the transfer
of metal valence electrons to the carbon cage. With early lanthanides such as La, a …

The elucidation of geometries is the fundamental to further investigate and develop fullerene
chemistry, an epoch-making discipline since 1985. Although the geometries of fullerenes …

Conspectus Fullerene carbon cages can encapsulate a wide variety of atoms, ions, clusters,
or small molecules inside, resulting in stable compounds with unusual structures and …

This contribution explains how the topological methods of analysis of the electron density
and related functions such as the electron localization function (ELF) and the electron …
