The amount of work on organic molecular magnets that lack strongly directional crystal organizing functionality is fairly extensive, even when limited to upper row element radicals. Therefore, the reader is referred to the citations given above. Attention in the rest of this chapter will be focused on two case...

The structural diversity associated with bicyclic 5-5 fused heterocyclic systems containing two heteroatoms in each ring has been noted previously in both CHEC(1984) <1984CHEC(6)1027> and CHEC-II(1996) <1996CHEC-11(7)115>. In recent years this diversity has also been reflected in the number of applications that have been found for these compounds which include organic metals, molecular clips and receptors and molecular magnets. These fields will be examined in due course through this chapter.
