A detailed multifrequency high-field-high-frequency EPR (95-285 GHz) study has been performed on the single-molecule magnet of formula [Fe8O2(OH)12(tacn)6]Br8 x 9H2O, in which tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane. Polycrystalline powder spectra have allowed the estimation of the zero-field splitting parameters up to fourth order terms. The single-crystal spectra have provided the principal directions of the magnetic anisotropy of the cluster. These results have been compared with an evaluation of the intra-cluster dipolar contribution to the magnetic anisotropy; this suggests that single-ion anisotropy is the main contributor to the magnetic anisotropy. The role of the transverse magnetic anisotropy in determining the height of the barrier for the reversal of the magnetization is also discussed.read more

Using tripodal alcohols to build high-spin molecules and single-molecule magnets
TL;DR: The combination of tripodal alcohols with paramagnetic 3d transition metal ions leads to the isolation of a host of new clusters, high spin molecules and single-molecule magnets ranging in nuclearity from two to thirty-two.

Classical and quantum magnetization reversal studied in nanometer-sized particles and clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, it was recognized that the ferromagnetic state, with a given orientation of the particle moment, has a remanent magnetization if the particle is small enough.

TL;DR: It is shown that the theory for insulating electronic spin systems can make accurate and testable predictions for environmental decoherence in molecular-based quantum magnets, and the investigation suggests that the environmentalDecoherence time can be extended up to about 500 microseconds, by optimizing the temperature, magnetic field and nuclear isotopic concentrations.

Theoretical Study of the Exchange Coupling in Large Polynuclear Transition Metal Complexes Using DFT Methods
TL;DR: Theoretical methods based on density functional theory for studying the electronic structure of polynuclear transition metal complexes containing paramagnetic cations have attracted the attention of many chemists since they are one of the main fields of study in molecular magnetism and they play important roles in the reactivity of active sites of systems of biological interest as discussed by the authors.
