Volume 5 Issue 2, February 2020

The field of molecular magnetism has expanded from the chemical design and study of single-molecule magnets and magnetic materials, to more physics- and nanotechnology-driven areas. In this Review, this change in focus is discussed and molecular magnetism in combination with either molecular spintronics, quantum technologies, metal—organic frameworks or 2D materials is outlined.
