Schiff bases have been of continued interest in coordination chemistry for a long time
because they provide new ligand platforms that make reactivity easier and their metal …

This article reviews the physics of multipolar interactions and multipolar order in f-electron
systems, using the actinide dioxides as a paradigm. In the past few years, these apparently …

A criterion for the height of the anisotropy barrier Δ=| D| S 2 in single-molecule magnets, and
therefore the blocking temperature TB∝ Δ, is presented. In particular, it is found that the …

Magnetic clusters, ie, assemblies of a finite number (between two or three and several
hundred) of interacting spin centers which are magnetically decoupled from their …

This review provides a summary of distinct Hamiltonians used to describe magnetic and
spectroscopic properties of paramagnetic and magnetic coordination compounds. Based on …

Exchange integrals and single-ion anisotropy parameters of a ring-shaped molecular
cluster, comprising eight chromium (III) ions (s= 3/2) were determined by inelastic neutron …

Two tetranuclear NiII complexes, namely [Ni4 (L) 4 (CH3OH) 3 (H2O)]· CH3OH (1) and
(Pr3NH) 2 [Ni4 (L) 4 (CH3COO) 2](2, Pr3N= tripropylamine), were synthesized from a …

By substituting one Cr 3+(s= 3/2) with Cd 2+(s= 0) in molecular octanuclear rings, a diluted
ensemble of identical nanomagnets with a S= 3/2 ground state, weakly split in zero field, is …

Single-crystal high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy has been
employed on a truly axial single molecule magnet of formula [Mn12O12 (t Bu-CH2CO2) 16 …

Inelastic neutron scattering has been applied to the study of the spin dynamics of Cr-based
antiferromagnetic octanuclear rings where a finite total spin of the ground state is obtained …
