Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are molecules that exhibit energy barriers to spin
inversion. The slow relaxation of magnetization is of molecular origin and arises from the …

One of the determining factors in whether single-molecule magnets (SMMs) may be used as
the smallest component of data storage, is the size of the barrier to reversal of the …

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) that contain one spin centre (so-called single-ion
magnets) theoretically represent the smallest possible unit for spin-based electronic devices …

Single-molecule magnets display magnetic bistability of molecular origin, which may one
day be exploited in magnetic data storage devices. Recently it was realised that increasing …

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

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

Having served as a playground for fundamental studies on the physics of d and f electrons
for almost a century, magnetic molecules are now becoming increasingly important for …

Innovative synthetic coordination and, increasingly, organometallic chemistry are at the
heart of advances in molecular magnetism. Smart ligand design is essential for …

The study of how spin interacts with lattice vibrations and relaxes to equilibrium provides
unique insights into its chemical environment and the relation between electronic structure …

Tailoring the specific magnetic properties of any material relies on the topological control of
the constituent metal ion building blocks. Although this general approach does not seem to …
