Abstract
We describe early and recent advances in the fascinating field of combined magnetic and optical properties of inorganic coordination compounds and in particular of 3d-4f single molecule magnets. We cover various applied techniques which allow for the correlation of results obtained in the frequency and time domain in order to highlight the specific properties of these compounds and the future challenges towards multidimensional spectroscopic tools. An important point is to understand the details of the interplay of magnetic and optical properties through performing time-resolved studies in the presence of external fields especially magnetic ones. This will enable further exploration of this fundamental interactions i. e. the two components of electromagnetic radiation influencing optical properties.

Abstract
In this work we report the synthesis, structural characterization and magnetic properties of a family of butterfly complexes {Cr2Ln2} with Ln = Tb (4), Ho (5), Er (6), Tm (7) and Yb (8), extending the family of previously reported isostructural compounds with Gd (1), Dy (2) and Y (3). As in 1 and 2, an anti-ferromagnetic Cr(III)-Ln(III) exchange interaction is found. For oblate ions 4 and 5, SMM behavior with a purely Orbach relaxation mechanism is observed with thermal barriers of 38 cm-1 (4) and 32 cm-1 (5). Complex 4 displays hysteresis opening up to 2.4 K with loss of magnetization at zero field. The prolate complex ions 6 and 7 are field-induced SMM's with dominant Orbach, direct and QTM relaxation mechanisms. Compound 8 did not show SMM properties.

Abstract
A series of 4d-4f {RuIII2DyIII2} and {RuIII2GdIII2} 'butterfly' (rhombohedral) complexes have been synthesized and characterized and their magnetic properties investigated. Earlier, we have reported the first 4d/4f SMM - [RuIII2DyIII2(OMe)2(O2CPh)4(mdea)2(NO3)2] (1Dy) with a Ueff value of 10.7 cm-1. As the structural distortion around the DyIII centres and the RuIII⋯DyIII exchange interactions are key to enhancing the anisotropy, in this work we have synthesised three more {Ru2Dy2} butterfly complexes where structural alteration around the DyIII centres and alterations to the bridging groups are performed with an aim to improve the magnetic properties. The new complexes reported here are [Ru2Dy2(OMe)2(O2C(4-Me-Ph)4(mdea)2(MeOH)4], 2Dy, [Ru2Dy2(OMe)2(O2C(2-Cl,4,5-F-Ph)4(mdea)2(NO3)2], 3Dy, and an acac derivative [Ru2Dy2(OMe)2(acac)4(NO3)2(edea)2], 4Dy, where acac- = acetylacetonate, edea2- = N-ethyldiethanolamine dianion. Complex 2Dy describes alteration in the DyIII centers, while complexes 3Dy and 4Dy are aimed to alter the RuIII⋯DyIII exchange pathways. To ascertain the 4d-4f exchange, the Gd-analogues of 1Dy and 4Dy were synthesised [Ru2Gd2(OMe)2(O2CPh)4(mdea)2(NO3)2], 1Gd, [Ru2Gd2(OMe)2(acac)4(NO3)2(edea)2], 4Gd. Both ac and dc susceptibility studies were performed on all these complexes, and out-of-phase signals were observed for 3Dy in zero-field while 2Dy and 4Dy show out-of-phase signals in the presence of an applied field. Complex 3Dy reveals a barrier height Ueff of 45 K. To understand the difference in the magnetic dynamic behavior compared to our earlier reported {RuIII2DyIII2} analogue, detailed theoretical calculations based on ab initio CASSCF/RASSI-SO calculations have been performed. Calculations reveal that the JRu⋯Dy value varies from -1.8 cm-1 (4Dy) to -2.4 cm-1 (3Dy). These values are also affirmed by DFT calculations performed on the corresponding GdIII analogues. The origin of the largest barrier and observation of slow magnetic relaxation in 3Dy is routed back to the stronger single-ion anisotropy and stronger JRu⋯Dy exchange which quenches the QTM effects more efficiently. This study thus paves the way forward to tune local structure around the LnIII center and the exchange pathway to enhance the SMM characteristics in other {3d-4f}/{4d-4f} SMMs.

Abstract
Four chair-like hexanuclear Fe-Ln complexes containing mixed organic ligands, namely, [Fe4Ln2{(py)2CO2}4(pdm)2(NO3)2(H2O)2Cl4]·xCH3CN·yH2O (Ln = GdIII (1, x = 1, y = 0), DyIII (2, x = 1, y = 1), HoIII (3, x = 0, y = 2), and ErIII (4, x = 1, y = 3); (py)2CO2H2 = the gem-diol form of di-2-pyridyl ketone and pdmH2 = 2,6-pyridinedimethanol) have been obtained by employing di-2-pyridyl ketone and 2,6-pyridinedimethanol reacting with FeCl3 and Ln(NO3)3 in MeCN. The structures of 1-4 are similar to each other except for the number of lattice solvent molecules. Four FeIII and two LnIII in these complexes comprise a chair-like core with the "body" constructed by four FeIII ions and the "end" constructed by two LnIII ions. Among the four compounds, 2 shows field-induced single molecule magnet behavior as revealed by ac magnetic susceptibility studies, with the effective energy barrier and the pre-exponential factor of 22.07 K and 8.44 × 10-7 s, respectively. Ab initio calculations indicated that, among 2_Dy, 3_Ho and 4_Er fragments, the energy gap between the lowest two spin-orbit states for 2_Dy is the largest, while the tunneling gap for 2 is the smallest. These might be the reasons for complex 2 exhibiting SMM behavior. Additionally, the orientations of the magnetic anisotropy of DyIII in 2 were obtained by electrostatic calculations and ab initio calculations, both indicating that the directions of the main magnetic axis of Dy1 ions are almost aligned along Dy1-O5 (O5 from the pdm2- ligand).
