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

Novel functional molecular-based magnetic materials, especially some members of the
Prussian blue family, have gained significant attention over the past few decades as they …

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 …

Thiol-containing amino acids have been known to act as chelating ligands with three
potential coordination sites: thiol, amine, and carboxyl groups. Since early reports on the …

Large-sized coordination clusters have emerged as a new class of molecular materials in
which many metal atoms and organic ligands are integrated to synergize their properties. As …

This review focuses on topological features of three-periodic (framework) p, d, and f metal
cyano complexes or cyanometallates, ie coordination compounds, where CN–ligands play …

Prussian blue, Fe III 4 [Fe II (CN) 6] 3· nH 2 O (n= 14∼ 16), is one of the most classical mixed-
valence complexes and was used as pigments. Combinations of different metal ions lead to …

The combination of magnetic interaction with high magnetic anisotropy provides a promising
way for modulating/fine-tuning molecular magnetic behaviors. Here, we show the building …

Self-assembly of artificial nanoscale units into superstructures is a prevalent topic in science.
In biomimicry, scientists attempt to develop artificial self-assembled nanoarchitectures …

Addressing molecular bistability as a function of external stimuli, especially in spin-crossover
(SCO) and metal-to-metal electron transfer (MMET) systems, has seen a surge of interest in …
