A viable qubit must have a long coherence time T 2 . In molecular nanomagnets, T 2 is often limited at low temperatures by the presence of dipole and hyperfine interactions, which are often mitigated through sample dilution, chemical e...
Molecular magnets are a relatively new class of purely organic or metallo-organic materials, showing magnetism even without an external magnetic field. This interdisciplinary field between chemistry and physics has been gaining increased interest sin...
The magnetic properties of molecular nanomagnets can be finely modulated by light, which provides great potential in optical switches, smart sensors, and data storage devices. Light-induced spin transition, structure changes, and radical formation co...
The method of choice for in-depth investigation of the magnetic anisotropy in molecular nanomagnets is high-frequency electron spin resonance (HFESR) spectroscopy. It has the benefits of high resolution and facile access to large energy splittings. H...
The present paper discusses the use of two information-theoretical quantities—namely, the classical and quantum Fisher information—in the context of molecular magnetism. These functions quantify the suitability of a given observable to the estimation...
We calculated the magnetocaloric properties of the molecular nanomagnet Cu5-NIPA, consisting of five spins S = 1 / 2 arranged in two corner-sharing triangles (hourglass-like structure without magnetic frustration). The thermodynamics of the s...
To develop treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, it is critical to understand the biology and function of neurons in both normal and diseased states. Molecular studies of neurons involve the delivery of small biomolecules into cultured neurons...
Simulating the evolution of quantum systems on a classical computer is a yellow very challenging task, which could be easily tackled by digital quantum simulators. These are intrinsically quantum devices whose parameters can be controlled in order to...
A low-coordinate dinuclear dysprosium complex {[Dy(N3N)(THF)][LiCl(THF)]}2 (Dy2) with a double bridging ‘LiCl’ moiety and tris(amido)amine (N3N)3− anions as a blocking ligand is synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. Thanks to t...
Molecular spins have shown interesting quantum features, which make them potential candidates for the implementation of quantum information processing. New challenges related to possible applications in the broader class of quantum technologies are c...
Hyperthermia has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional cancer therapies and in fact, traditional hyperthermia is now commonly used in combination with chemotherapy or surgery during cancer treatment. Nevertheless, non-specific applicatio...
The ligand exchange in (n-Bu4N)2OsIVCl6 (n-Bu4N = tetra-n-butylammonium) leads to the formation of the osmium(IV) heptacyanide, the first fully inorganic homoleptic complex of heptacoordinated osmium. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) stu...

Spin-crossover (SCO) and single-ion magnets (SIMs), or their mixed SCO-SIM derivatives, are a convenient solution in the evolution from molecular magnetism toward molecular spintronics and quantum computing. Herein, we report on the current trends an...
Nanoparticle-based technologies are rapidly expanding into many areas of biomedicine and molecular science. The unique ability of magnetic nanoparticles to respond to the magnetic field makes them especially attractive for a number of in vivo applica...
One of the pathways toward luminescent single-molecule magnets (SMMs) is realized by the self-assembly of lanthanide(3+) ions with cyanido transition metal complexes. We report a novel family of emissive SMMs, {YbIII(4-pyridone)4[FeII(phen)2(CN)2]2}(...
