Molecular Magnetism

Molecular Magnetism introduces graduates and researchers in chemistry and physics to this newly developed field. This is an exciting area, allowing the development of novel magnetic materials, such as purely organic ferromagnets, to be used in a variety of applications. The book also covers the experimental and theoretical background before discussing the molecular design and synthesis of organic and metal-organic magnetic materials. The properties of various materials, including polyradicals, polymers and other interesting phenomena, such as those associated with photo-induced magnets, are also discussed. Molecular Magnetism is of interest to students and researchers in chemistry, solid state physics, materials science, electronics, photonics and polymer engineering.
