Single-molecule magnets properties

The possibility to couple the excellent self-organization ability of the Pcs with a magnetic property has also been sought through the preparation of a single-molecule magnet (SMM) alkoxy-substituted bis(phthalocyaninato)terbium(III) 30 (Fig. 26a). 

For the unique properties of PBs to be exploited, PBs must be deposited properly onto a solid support. It is highly desirable to prepare mechanically robust PBs films with controlled thickness, chemical composition and crystallinity, having ion-sieving membranes and electrochromic devices in mind [6], or to create regular patterns of PB-based single molecule magnets [13],...

In the following sections, synthetic approaches to the preparation of multinu-clear cyanide complexes will be discussed. The structures of these compounds will be presented in the order of increasing nuclearity. Finally, the magnetic properties of cyanide complexes, including single-molecule magnetism, photoinduced magnetism, and spin crossover will be described.
