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 …

The last few years have seen a huge renaissance in the study of the magnetism of
lanthanide coordination complexes, especially in the field of single molecule magnets …

Abstract Luminescent lanthanide-based Single-Molecule Magnets (SMM) are multifunctional
molecule-based materials that combine luminescence and magnetic properties in the same …

A very basic tutorial-style introduction to Single-Molecule Magnetism, intended for a general
chemistry audience, is provided. This is followed by a review of the synthesis, structures and …

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

An organometallic single-ion magnet is synthesized with only 19 non-hydrogen atoms
featuring an erbium ion sandwiched by two different aromatic ligands. This molecule …

Over the past decade, lanthanide compounds have become of increasing interest in the field
of Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) due to the large inherent anisotropy of the metal ions …

A well-defined two-step relaxation, described by the sum of two modified Debye functions, is
observed in a new alkoxido-bridged linear tetranuclear DyIII aggregate showing single …

An air-stable star-shaped CoIICoIII3 complex with only one paramagnetic Co (II) ion in the
D3 coordination environment has been synthesized from a chiral Schiff base ligand …
