TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative method for predicting the ligand architectures that will generate magnetic anisotropy for a variety of f-element ions is presented to guide the design of stronger single-molecule magnets incorporating the f-elements.

TL;DR: It is shown that the diffuse spin of an N(2)(3-) radical bridge can lead to exceptionally strong magnetic exchange in dinuclear Ln(III) (Ln = Gd, Dy) complexes, exhibiting the strongest magnetic coupling yet observed for that ion.

TL;DR: The results show how synergizing the strong magnetic anisotropy of terbium(III) with the effective exchange-coupling ability of the N(2)(3-) radical can create the hardest molecular magnet discovered to date.

TL;DR: A family of trigonal pyramidal iron(II) complexes supported by tris(pyrrolyl-α-methyl)amine ligands of the general formula [M(solv)(n)][(tpa(R))Fe] is presented, enabling an initial probe of how the ligand field influences the static and dynamic magnetic behavior.

TL;DR: Results of ac magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on the trigonal prismatic complex U(Ph(2)BPz(2))(3) demonstrate the presence of slow magnetic relaxation under zero applied dc field and suggest a general strategy for identifying further uranium(III)-based single-molecule magnets by concentrating the ligand-field contributions above and below the equatorial plane of an axially symmetric coordination complex.
