This review covers the surface chemistry of porphyrins, phthalocyanines, their metal
complexes, and related compounds, with particular focus on chemical reactions at …

Porphyrins and other tetrapyrrole macrocycles possess an impressive variety of functional
properties that have been exploited in natural and artificial systems. Different metal centres …

The electron spin made its debut in the device world only two decades ago but today our
ability of detecting the spin state of a moving electron underpins the entire magnetic data …

An overview of different chemical complexes studied by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism
(XMCD) is presented. We intend to show to the chemistry community the possibilities of this …

For the progressive development of spintronics as the next generation information
technology source, it is essential to look for materials with high abundance, long spin …

Exchange bias and magnetic proximity effects are two novel phenomena that are in the
limelight because of their fundamental and technological importance. Since both …

A two-dimensional (2D) periodic Fe phthalocyanine (FePc) single-layer sheet has very
recently been synthesized experimentally (Abel, M.; et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133 …

The development of chemical systems with switchable molecular spins could lead to the
architecture of materials with controllable magnetic or spintronic properties. Here, we …

We investigate the interaction of TbPc 2 single molecule magnets (SMMs) with
ferromagnetic Ni substrates. Using element-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, we …

Iron carbide nanoparticles (ICNPs) are considered to have great potential in new energy
conversion, nanomagnets and biomedical applications due to their intrinsically peculiar …
