Abstract

Magnets have fascinated humans for millenia, playing a promi-nent role in the development of modern society, science, and technology, and making up a multi-billion-dollar-per-year industry. Classical or atom-based magnets, for example, metals, metal alloys, and metal oxides, are composed solely of a high density of d- or f-orbital metal spin sites and are prepared by high-temperature metallurgical methods. The development of molecule-based mag-nets1 enabled the specific alteration of the magnetic properties by established organic or coordination chemistry techniques and the combination of magnetic properties with other mechanical, electrical and/or optical properties in harmony with simplicity of…
