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 …

A very exciting prospect in coordination chemistry is to manipulate spins within magnetic
complexes for the realization of quantum logic operations. An introduction to the …

Nanomagnetism is a rapidly expanding area of research which appears to be able to
provide novel applications. Magnetic molecules are at the very bottom of the possible size of …

We used a scanning tunneling microscope to probe the interactions between spins in
individual atomic-scale magnetic structures. Linear chains of 1 to 10 manganese atoms …

Using X-band pulsed electron-spin resonance, we report the intrinsic spin-lattice (T 1) and
phase-coherence (T 2) relaxation times in molecular nanomagnets for the first time. In Cr 7 …

The phenomenon of single-molecule magnetism was established in the early 1990s with the
cluster [Mn 12 O 12 (AcO) 16 (H 2 O) 4]. Since then, a large number of compounds …

Molecular magnetism has travelled a long way from the pioneering studies on electron
exchange and double exchange or spin crossover and valence tautomerism in small …

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 …

Multitopic organic linkers can provide a means to organize metal cluster nodes in a regular
three‐dimensional array. Herein, we show that isonicotinic acid N‐oxide (HINO) serves as …

In this review, aspects of the syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of giant 3d and
3d/4f paramagnetic metal clusters in moderate oxidation states are discussed. The term …
