Rare earth elements have long been utilized in magnetism to take advantage of their anisotropy. Lanthanoid ions are ideal building blocks for anisotropy in designing magnetic molecules, thanks to their partially filled 4f orbitals, which result in unquenched orbital angular momentum in the ligand field.

This Collection features selected papers on the magnetic properties of lanthanoid-containing molecular compounds, all published in Magnetochemistry (ISSN: 2312-7481). We believe the following papers may be of interest to you:
