Abstract
Density matrix embedding theory (DMET) provides a systematic framework to combine low-level (e.g., Hartree-Fock approximation) and high-level correlated quantum chemistry methods to treat strongly correlated systems. In this work, we propose an efficient quantum embedding approach that combines DMET with the complete active space self-consistent field and subsequent state interaction treatment of spin-orbit coupling (CASSI-SO) and apply it to a theoretical description of single-ion magnets (SIMs). We have developed a novel regularized direct inversion of iterative subspace (R-DIIS) technique that ensures restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock converging to a physically correct ground state, which is found to be crucial for the efficacy of subsequent CASSI-SO calculation. The DMET+CASSI-SO approach can produce reliable zero-field splitting parameters in typical 3d-SIMs with dramatically reduced computational cost compared to its all-electron counterpart. This work therefore demonstrates the great potential of DMET-based multiconfigurational approaches for efficient ab initio study of magneto-structural correlations in complex molecular magnetic systems.

Abstract
This article reports the syntheses, characterization, structural description, together with magnetic and spectroscopic properties of two isostructural molecular magnets based on the chiral ligand N,N'-bis((1,2-diphenyl-(pyridine-2-yl)methylene)-(R,R/S,S)-ethane-1,2-diamine), L1, of general formula [Ln2(RR-L1)2(Cl6)]·MeOH·1.5H2O, (Ln = Ce (1) or Nd (2)). Multifrequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), cantilever torque magnetometry (CTM) measurements, and ab initio calculations allowed us to determine single-ion magnetic anisotropy and intramolecular magnetic interactions in both compounds, evidencing a more important role of the anisotropic exchange for the NdIII derivative. The comparison of experimental and theoretical data indicates that, in the case of largely rhombic lanthanide ions, ab initio calculations can fail in determining the orientation of the weakest components, while being reliable in determining their principal values. However, they remain of paramount importance to set the analysis of EPR and CTM on sound basis, thus obtaining a very precise picture of the magnetic interactions in these systems. Finally, the electronic structure of the two complexes, as obtained by this approach, is consistent with the absence of zero-field slow relaxation observed in ac susceptibility.

Abstract
We report a dichlorido-bridged dinuclear dysprosium(iii) single-molecule magnet [Dy(Cy2N)2(μ-Cl)(THF)]2 which shows an effective energy barrier for magnetization reversal (Ueff) of ca. 623 K. This is by far the largest Ueff barrier for any chlorido-bridged lanthanide single-molecule magnet. We observe two relaxation processes with near-identical temperature dependencies, one of which disappears upon magnetic dilution. We suspect that these two processes are the isolated and coupled relaxation processes.

Ferrotoroidic ground state in a heterometallic {Cr IIIDy III6} complex displaying slow magnetic relaxation. Nat Commun 2017; 8:1023.

Abstract
Toroidal quantum states are most promising for building quantum computing and information storage devices, as they are insensitive to homogeneous magnetic fields, but interact with charge and spin currents, allowing this moment to be manipulated purely by electrical means. Coupling molecular toroids into larger toroidal moments via ferrotoroidic interactions can be pivotal not only to enhance ground state toroidicity, but also to develop materials displaying ferrotoroidic ordered phases, which sustain linear magneto-electric coupling and multiferroic behavior. However, engineering ferrotoroidic coupling is known to be a challenging task. Here we have isolated a {CrIIIDyIII6} complex that exhibits the much sought-after ferrotoroidic ground state with an enhanced toroidal moment, solely arising from intramolecular dipolar interactions. Moreover, a theoretical analysis of the observed sub-Kelvin zero-field hysteretic spin dynamics of {CrIIIDyIII6} reveals the pivotal role played by ferrotoroidic states in slowing down the magnetic relaxation, in spite of large calculated single-ion quantum tunneling rates.

Abstract
Two one-dimensional cyano-bridged coordination polymers, namely, {[MnII(dapsc)][MnIII(CN)6][K(H2O)2.75(MeOH)0.5]}n·0.5n(H2O) (I) and {[MnII(dapsc)][MnIII(CN)6][K(H2O)2(MeOH)2]}n (II), based on alternating high-spin MnII(dapsc) (dapsc = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(semicarbazone)) complexes and low-spin orbitally degenerate hexacyanomanganate(III) complexes were synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. Static and dynamic magnetic measurements reveal a single-chain magnet (SCM) behavior of I with an energy barrier of Ueff ≈ 40 K. Magnetic properties of I are analyzed in detail in terms of a microscopic theory. It is shown that compound I refers to a peculiar case of SCM that does not fall into the usual Ising and Heisenberg limits due to unconventional character of the MnIII-CN-MnII spin coupling resulting from a nonmagnetic singlet ground state of orbitally degenerate complexes [MnIII(CN)6]3-. The prospects of [MnIII(CN)6]3- complex as magnetically anisotropic molecular building block for engineering molecular magnets are critically analyzed.

Abstract
The Gd-radical complex [GdIII(hfac)3(6bpyNO)] (6bpyNO = 2,2'-bipyridin-6-yl tert-butyl nitroxide; Hhfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dione) showed a magnetization jump at 52 T observed in a pulsed-field facility, corresponding to an exchange coupling constant of -17.4 K. Furthermore, hysteretic behavior due to a relatively slow magnetization reversal was recorded around 2 T. From the high-frequency EPR study, the exchange coupling between Gd and radical spins accompanies an anisotropic character, which is responsible for both the broad jump and the slow magnetization reversal.
