Molecular magnetic materials switchable

In more recent times, the field has increasingly focused on topics where molecular materials have an advantage over continuous-lattice solids. Such studies can exploit the modular synthesis of molecular materials, whereby different molecules with differing functions can be combined to form a hybrid material with interacting magnetic and/or conducting and/ or optical properties. This is leading to new fields such as molecular spintronics, multifunctional and switchable materials where...
