TL;DR: In this paper, the design and preparation of stable cyanide-bearing six-coordinate complexes of formula [MIII(L)(CN)x](x+l−−m)− (M = trivalent transition metal ion and L = polydentate blocking ligand) are summarized and the appropriate choice of the end-cap ligand L whose denticity determines the number of coordinated cyanide groups in the mononuclear precursors.

TL;DR: This finding prompted us to look carefully at 1D systems containing anisotropic elements, such as cobalt and low-spin iron centers that the authors synthesized recently, and opened the perspective of a potential use of 1D magnetic molecular nanowires for information storage.

TL;DR: The aim and scope of this review is to show the general validity of the 'complex-as-ligand' approach for the rational design of metallosupramolecular assemblies of increasing structural and magnetic complexity.

TL;DR: DFT-type calculations and QMC methodology provided a good understanding of the magnetic properties of 3-5, which are ferro- and ferrimagnetic chains respectively, with metamagnetic-like behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, a family of aromatic polyoxalamide (APOXA) ligands with first-row transition metal ions has been used for the design of metallosupramolecular assemblies.
