Abstract:
Molecular magnetism deals with the magnetic properties of materials consisting
discrete molecules or assemblies of molecules. Generally, the molecular magnets consist
of solid lattice made of molecular building blocks1 (Figure 1). These compounds have
drawn significant research interests to materials scientists because of their structural
novelty as well as promising applications in high density data storage, quantum
calculation, signal processing, thermal displays, optical devices, and pressure sensors.2
Over the last few decades, both the description and application of molecule based
magnetic materials have been immensely investigated by physicists and chemists.3
