The diverse magnetic properties of lanthanide-based magnetic molecular materials are introduced in the following organization. First, the general aspects of magnetic molecular materials and electronic states of lanthanide ions are introduced. Then the structures and magnetic properties are described and analyzed for molecules with one lanthanide ion, 4f-4f, 4f-3d and 4f-p magnetic coupling interactions. In each section, magnetic coupling, magnetic ordering and magnetic relaxation phenomenon are briefly reviewed using some examples. Finally, some possibilities of developing magnetic molecular materials containing lanthanide ions are discussed in the outlook part.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
