Metal-containing clusters have attracted increasing attention over the past 2–3 decades.
This intense interest can be attributed to the fact that these discrete metal aggregates, whose …

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 …

The review presents a bird-eye view on the state of research in the field of giant
nonbiological discrete metal complexes and ions of nanometer size, which are structurally …

Atomically defined large metal clusters have applications in new reaction development and
preparation of materials with tailored properties. Expanding the synthetic toolbox for reactive …

Coordination polymers serving as molecular magnetic refrigerants have been attracting
great interest. In particular, coordination cluster compounds that demonstrate their apparent …

The first {Mn31} cluster (1) has been prepared from carboxylate ions and the
chelating/bridging ligand α-methyl-2-pyridine-methanol. Compound 1 possesses a unique …

Cage clusters are a discrete chemically and topologically diverse family of molecule-based
functional materials. Presented here are two isostructural M48 (M= CoII for LSHU01, NiII for …

New members of the Mn70 and Mn84 torus-like cluster family have been prepared from a
hybrid comproportionation–alcoholysis reaction of [Mn12O12 (O2CR) 16 (H2O) 4] in alcohol …

The detailed analysis of magnetic interactions in a giant molecule is difficult both because
the synthesis of such compounds is challenging and the number of energy levels increases …
