Book Description
Molecular Magnetism introduces graduates and researchers in chemistry and physics to the newly developed field of magnetism. Molecular magnetism that is based mainly on p-electrons of organic molecules contrasts strikingly with the traditional metal and rare-earth elements. This new field has proved full of possibilities and produced a variety of excellent results in magnetic phenomena as well as magnetic materials such as purely organic ferromagnets.
This monograph includes topics such as the theoretical and experimental background of molecular magnetism, mechanism of spin alignment and the molecular design and synthesis of organic and metal-organic magnetic materials. Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic organic radical crystals and the magnetic properties of high-spin molecules, polyradicals and polymers are discussed extensively. Interesting phenomena associated with photo-induced magnets, metal clusters and metal complexes are also described.
