Lanthanide Single Molecule Magnets

Abstract

The most important lanthanide single-ion molecular magnets (SIMMs) reported to date including the lanthanide phthalocyanine, lanthanide β-diketone, and organometallic lanthanide systems are systematically investigated in this chapter. In particular, some important relationships between the structural features and magnetic performances are discussed in detail based on the theoretical results, presenting a guideline for the effective design of lanthanide SIMMs.
