Abstract
Anchoringsingle-molecule magnets (SMMs) on the surface of nanostructures is gaining particular interest in the field of molecular magnetism. The accurate organization of SMMs on low-dimensional substrates enables controlled interactions and the possibility of individual molecules' manipulation, paving the route for a broad range of nanotechnological applications. In this comprehensive review article, the most studied types of SMMs are presented, and the quantum-mechanical origin of their magnetic behavior is described. The nanostructured matrices were grouped and characterized to outline to the reader their relevance for subsequent compounding with SMMs. Particular attention was paid to the fact that this process must be carried out in such a way as to preserve the initial functionality and properties of the molecules. Therefore, the work also includes a discussion of issues concerning both the methods of synthesis of the systems in question as well as advanced measurement techniques of the resulting complexes. A great deal of attention was also focused on the issue of surface-molecule interaction, which can affect the magnetic properties of SMMs, causing molecular crystal field distortion or magnetic anisotropy modification, which affects quantum tunneling or magnetic hysteresis, respectively. In our opinion, the analysis of the literature carried out in this way will greatly help the reader to design SMM-nanostructure systems.

Abstract
Cyano-bridged 4d-4f molecular nanomagnets have re-called increasing research interests in molecular magnetism since they offer more possibilities in achieving novel nanomagnets with versatile structures and magnetic interactions. In this work, four β-diketone ligands bearing different substitution N-sites were designed and synthesized, namely 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-(3-pyridyl)-1,3-propanedione (HL1 ), 1,3-Bis (3-pyridyl)-1,3-propanedione (HL2 ), 1-(4-pyridyl)-3-(3-pyridyl)-1,3-propanedione (HL3 ), and 1,3-Bis (4-pyridyl)-1,3-propanedione (HL4 ), to tune the magnetic relaxation behaviors of cyano-bridged {DyIII MoV } systems. By reacting with DyCl3 ⋅ 6H2 O and K4 Mo(CN)8 ⋅ 2H2 O, four cyano-bridged complexes, namely {[Dy[MoV (CN)8 ](HL1 )2 (H2 O)3 ]} ⋅ 6H2 O (1), {[Dy[MoV (CN)8 ](HL2 )(H2 O)3 (CH3 OH)]}2 ⋅ 2CH3 OH ⋅ 3H2 O (2), {[Dy[MoV (CN)8 ](HL3 )(H2 O)2 (CH3 OH)] ⋅ H2 O}n (3), and {[Dy[MoV (CN)8 ](HL4 )2 (H2 O)3 ]} ⋅ 2H2 O⋅CH3 OH (4) were obtained. Structural analyses revealed that 1 and 4 are binuclear complexes, 2 has a tetragonal structure, and 3 exhibits a stair-like polymer chain structure. The DyIII ions in all complexes have eight-coordinated configurations with the coordination spheres DyO7 N1 for 1 and 4, DyO6 N2 for 2, and DyO5 N3 for 3. Magnetic measurements indicate that 1 is a zero-field single-molecule magnet (SMM) and complexes 2-4 are field-induced SMMs, with complex 4 featuring a two-step relaxation process. The magnetic characterizations and ab initio calculations revealed that changing the N-sites in the β-diketone ligands can effectively alter the structures and magnetic properties of cyano-bridged 4d-4f nanomagnets by adjusting the coordination environments of the DyIII centers.

Air-stable four-coordinate cobalt(ii) single-ion magnets: experimental and ab initio ligand field analyses of correlations between dihedral angles and magnetic anisotropy.

Abstract
For single-ion magnets (SIMs), understanding the effects of the local coordination environment and ligand field on magnetic anisotropy is key to controlling their magnetic properties. Here we present a series of tetracoordinate cobalt(ii) complexes of the general formula [FL2Co]X2 (where FL is a bidentate diamido ligand) whose electron-withdrawing -C6F5 substituents confer stability under ambient conditions. Depending on the cations X, these complexes adopt structures with greatly varying dihedral twist angle δ between the N-Co-N' chelate planes in the solid state (48.0 to 89.2°). AC and DC field magnetic susceptibility measurements show this to translate into very different magnetic properties, the axial zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameter D ranging from -69 cm-1 to -143 cm-1 with substantial or negligible rhombic component E, respectively. A close to orthogonal arrangement of the two N,N'-chelating σ- and π-donor ligands at the Co(ii) ion is found to raise the energy barrier for magnetic relaxation to above 400 K. Multireference ab initio methods were employed to describe the complexes' electronic structures, and the results were analyzed within the framework of ab initio ligand field theory to probe the nature of the metal-ligand bonding and spin-orbit coupling. A relationship between the energy gaps of the first few electronic transitions and the ZFS was established, and the ZFS was correlated with the dihedral angle δ as well as with the metal-ligand bonding variations, viz. the two angular overlap parameters eσ and eπs. These findings not only give rise to a Co(ii) SIM showing open hysteresis up to 3.5 K at a sweep rate of 30 Oe s-1, but they also provide design guidelines for Co(ii) complexes with favorable SIM signatures or even switchable magnetic relaxation properties.

Abstract
We combine spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy with quantum master equation analysis to investigate the spin dynamics of the single atom magnet Dy on graphene/Ir(111). By performing reading and writing experiments, we show that the strongly spin polarized 5d6s valence shells, as well as their intra-atomic exchange coupling to the 4f shell, determine the pathways for magnetization relaxation and thus the spin dynamics. The good quantum number that determines which states are stable and which mechanisms for reversal exist in a given crystal field is the atomic total angular momentum J_{z}^{tot} and not the commonly considered J_{z}^{4f} of the 4f shell only.

Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of the ligand field and its influence on the degeneracy and population of d-orbitals in a specific coordination environment are crucial for the rational design and enhancement of magnetic anisotropy of single-ion magnets (SIMs). Herein, we report the synthesis and comprehensive magnetic characterization of a highly anisotropic CoII SIM, [L2Co](TBA)2 (L is an N,N'-chelating oxanilido ligand), that is stable under ambient conditions. Dynamic magnetization measurements show that this SIM exhibits a large energy barrier to spin reversal U eff > 300 K and magnetic blocking up to 3.5 K, and the property is retained in a frozen solution. Low-temperature single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction used to determine the experimental electron density gave access to Co d-orbital populations and a derived U eff, 261 cm-1, when the coupling between the d x 2 - y 2 and dxy orbitals is taken into account, in very good agreement with ab initio calculations and superconducting quantum interference device results. Powder and single-crystal polarized neutron diffraction (PNPD, PND) have been used to quantify the magnetic anisotropy via the atomic susceptibility tensor, revealing that the easy axis of magnetization is pointing along the N-Co-N' bisectors of the N,N'-chelating ligands (3.4° offset), close to the molecular axis, in good agreement with complete active space self-consistent field/N-electron valence perturbation theory to second order ab initio calculations. This study provides benchmarking for two methods, PNPD and single-crystal PND, on the same 3d SIM, and key benchmarking for current theoretical methods to determine local magnetic anisotropy parameters.

Abstract
![]()
The introduction
of paramagnetic metal centers into a conjugated
π-system is a promising approach toward engineering spintronic
materials. Here, we report an investigation of two types of spin-bearing
dysprosium(III) and gadolinium(III) porphyrin dimers: singly meso–meso-linked dimers with twisted conformations
and planar edge-fused β,meso,β-linked
tapes. The rare-earth spin centers sit out of the plane of the porphyrin,
so that the singly linked dimers are chiral, and their enantiomers
can be resolved, whereas the edge-fused tape complexes can be separated
into syn and anti stereoisomers.
We compare the crystal structures, UV–vis–NIR absorption
spectra, electrochemistry, EPR spectroscopy, and magnetic behavior
of these complexes. Low-temperature SQUID magnetometry measurements
reveal intramolecular antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between
the GdIII centers in the edge-fused dimers (syn isomer: J = −51 ± 2 MHz; anti isomer: J = −19 ± 3 MHz), whereas no
exchange coupling is detected in the singly linked twisted complex.
The phase-memory times, Tm, are in the
range of 8–10 μs at 3 K, which is long enough to test
quantum computational schemes using microwave pulses. Both the syn and anti Dy2 edge-fused
tapes exhibit single-molecule magnetic hysteresis cycles at temperatures
below 0.5 K with slow magnetization dynamics.

Abstract
Treatment of CoCl2·6H2O and tris(pyrazolyl-1-yl)borate tricyanoiron(III) anions at an elevated temperature (55 °C) afforded two less-common pearl-chain-like compounds, {[(TpR)Fe(CN)3CoCl2]2Co(DMF)4}·nDMF (1, TpR = Tp4-Me = hydridotris(4-methylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, n = 1 and 2, TpR = Tp*Me = hydridotris(3,4,5-trimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, n = 4.5), in which the 4-coordinate Co(II) ions and [(TpR)FeIII(CN)3]- units are alternately bridged by cyanide groups into squares, which are further linked with the 6-coordinate Co(II) ions into an infinite chain. Interestingly, the magnetic study revealed that 1 exhibits a typical single-chain magnet behaviour with an effective energy barrier of 28.0 K, while surprisingly no Glauber dynamics was observed for 2 despite their very similar structures. The variations of the local coordination environments of the cobalt ions and the cyanide linkages were evidenced, and they may account for the significant difference in their magnetic properties related to the global magnetic anisotropy and magnetic exchange of the chain.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have attracted tremendous research interest over the last two decades. Their unique optical, electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties make 2DMs key building blocks for the fabrication of novel complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and beyond-CMOS devices. Major advances in device functionality and performance have been made by the covalent or noncovalent functionalization of 2DMs with molecules: while the molecular coating of metal electrodes and dielectrics allows for more efficient charge injection and transport through the 2DMs, the combination of dynamic molecular systems, capable to respond to external stimuli, with 2DMs makes it possible to generate hybrid systems possessing new properties by realizing stimuli-responsive functional devices and thereby enabling functional diversification in More-than-Moore technologies. In this review, we first introduce emerging 2DMs, various classes of (macro)molecules, and molecular switches and discuss their relevant properties. We then turn to 2DM/molecule hybrid systems and the various physical and chemical strategies used to synthesize them. Next, we discuss the use of molecules and assemblies thereof to boost the performance of 2D transistors for CMOS applications and to impart diverse functionalities in beyond-CMOS devices. Finally, we present the challenges, opportunities, and long-term perspectives in this technologically promising field.

Abstract
We study the dynamics of entanglement between two edge spins in a zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) which is thermalized with a reservoir at temperatureT. The results show that the entanglement evolution displays oscillating behaviors in the presence of an external magnetic field. Such oscillating behaviors of entanglement strongly depend on the field frequency and relative location between two inter-edge coupled spins. At some critical field frequencies, the entanglement exhibits a periodic structure. When the temperature is low, the oscillating patterns of entanglement are quite regular and symmetrical. When the temperature is high, the patterns of entanglement evolution occur irregular distortions due to the thermal fluctuations. However, the entanglement between two inter-edge coupled spins in ZGNR still exists a nontrivial value even at room temperature.

Here, by introducing electron-withdrawing fluorinated substituents on equatorial ligand, two chiral Dy(III) macrocyclic complexes, RRRR-Dy-D6hF12 (1) and SSSS-Dy-D6hF12 (2), with a record anisotropy barrier exceeding 1800 K and the longest relaxation time approaching 2500 s at 2.0 K for all known air-stable SMMs, were obtained. The nearly perfect axiality of the ground Kramers doublet (KD) enables the open hysteresis loops up to 20 K in the magnetically diluted sample. It is notable that they are structurally rigid with high thermal stability and the apical ligand can be tailored to carry proper surface-binding groups. This finding not only improves the magnetic properties for air-stable SMMs but also provides a new avenue for deposition of SMMs on surfaces.

Abstract
While assembling superparamagnetic units in a controlled manner is crucial for future applications of molecular nanomagnets, optimizing their magnetic properties while achieving directional assembly of these units still remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we demonstrate how the assembly of two dysprosium chain complexes, namely, [Dy2(L)2Cl2(CH3OH)3]n·nCH3OH (1) and [Dy(L)Cl(DMF)]n (2) (H2L = N'-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)pyrazine-N-oxide-carbohydrazide), can be successfully manipulated using an appropriate bridging ligand design. Both complexes contain similar dimeric units bridged by two alkoxido oxygens from an L2- ligand, but extended by its pyrazine-N-oxide group exhibiting two distinct coordination modes, namely, single and double pyrazine-N-oxide bridges, respectively. Magnetic studies reveal that both complexes display typical slow magnetic relaxation under zero direct-current field; however, the anisotropy barrier and the coercive field at 2 K for complex 2 are twice as much as that of 1. A further theoretical study indicates that switching the coordination mode from a single pyrazine-N-oxide bridge to double bridges can enhance both the magnetic anisotropy of dysprosium ions and magnetic coupling within the dimeric cores. The synergistic effect between the magnetic anisotropy of dysprosium ions and magnetic interactions among them directly contributes to the overall better performance of complex 2.

Abstract
The adsorbed magnetic molecules with tunable spin states have drawn wide attention for their immense potential in the emerging fields of molecular spintronics and quantum computing. One of the key issues toward their application is the efficient controlling of their spin state. This review briefly summarizes the recent progress in the field of molecular spin state manipulation on surfaces. We focus on the molecular spins originated from the unpaired electrons of which the Kondo effect and spin excitation can be detected by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM and STS). Studies of the molecular spin-carriers in three categories are overviewed, i.e., the ones solely composed of main group elements, the ones comprising 3d-metals, and the ones comprising 4f-metals. Several frequently used strategies for tuning molecular spin state are exemplified, including chemical reactions, reversible atomic/molecular chemisorption, and STM-tip manipulations. The summary of the successful case studies of molecular spin state manipulation may not only facilitate the fundamental understanding of molecular magnetism and spintronics but also inspire the design of the molecule-based spintronic devices and materials.

Abstract
Crystal engineering of magnetic relaxation in supramolecular networks based on almost isotropic cyanido-bridged {Mn9[W(CN)8]6L8(solv)8} clusters decorated by bulky 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (But2bpy) and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Ph2phen) ligands is presented. The three new compounds {MnII9[WV(CN)8]6(But2bpy)8(MeOH)8}·Pri2O·13MeOH (1), {MnII9[WV(CN)8]6(But2bpy)8(MeOH)6(H2O)2}·4Pri2O·2H2O (1a), and {MnII9[WV(CN)8]6(Ph2phen)8(MeOH)8}·29MeOH·6H2O (2) were characterized structurally and magnetically. Compound 1 exhibits unequivocal domination of repulsive intercluster contacts operating between the side But groups leading to intercluster distances exceeding 10 Å in all three dimensions. Compound 1a reveals a 1-dimensional (1D) supramolecular chain structure with very close intercluster distances of 6.7 Å realized through the direct W-CNHO-Mn hydrogen bonds along the chain, further isolated by the above repulsive ButBut synthons. Compound 2 shows significant separation in all three directions with the intercluster distances close to 10, 12 and 13.5 Å. However, in contrast to 1, these separations are accompanied by indirect hydrogen bond arrays and local π-π interactions of potential to assist in the transfer of weak magnetic interactions. The dc magnetic data show the signature of S = 39/2 in the ground state, which is typical in this group of compounds. The high-spin clusters are accompanied by different intercluster interactions, illustrated by the effective zJ' values of +0.010 cm-1 (1), +0.008 cm-1 (1a) and +0.001 cm-1 (2). The low temperature ac susceptibility measurements revealed a temperature- and field-dependent magnetic relaxation time for all 1, 1a and 2 compounds (τ1, τ1a-fast, and τ2-fast in the range 10-3-10-4 s). In contrast and only in the case of 1a and 2, an additional temperature independent slow process was detected (τ1a-slow and τ2-slow located between 0.1 s and 1 s). The magnetic relaxations were correlated with the obtained supramolecular networks, indicating the significant role of dipolar fields, weak non-covalent interactions, hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions.

Abstract
Systematic substitution on the N-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)-sulfonamide ligand leads to the subtle variation of the CoN4 coordination geometry in a series of cobalt(ii) complexes sharing the common formula of Co[R1(C6N2H5)R2]2, where R1 = H, R2 = 4-tert-butylphenylsulfonyl (tBuphs) 1, R2 = 5-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-1-ylsulfonyl (DNps) 2, R2 = mesitylsulfonyl (Ms) 3, R2 = tosyl (Tos) 4, and R2 = naphthalen-1-ylsulfonyl (Nps) 5; R1 = Me, R2 = tBuphs 6. Magnetic studies show that the axial zero-field splitting parameter (D) is subtlely correlated with the coordination geometric variation subjected to the peripheral substituted groups. Specifically, the distortion from the ideal tetrahedral geometry (Td symmetry) to the seesaw geometry (D2d symmetry) increases uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. The degree of distortion measured by the continuous symmetry measure (CSM) shows that a narrow interval of CSM (6-7), which corresponds to 14-15 degree deviation from the standard tetrahedron, is ideal for maximising the D value in this coordination geometry, while the direction of the D tensor is less sensitive to such a structural variation.

Abstract
Assembly of interacting molecular spins is an attractive candidate for spintronic and quantum computing devices. Here, we report on-surface chemical assembly of aminoferrocene molecules on a graphene oxide (GO) sheet and their magnetic properties. On the GO surface, organometallic molecules having individual spins through charge transfer between the molecule and the sheet are arranged in nanoclusters having diameters of about 2 nm. The synthetic fine tuning of the reaction time enables to change the interspacing between the nanoclusters, keeping their size intact. Their magnetism changes from paramagnetic behavior to collective one gradually as the interspacing decreases. The creation of collective nature among weakly interacting molecular spins through their nanoscale arrangement on the GO surface opens a new avenue to molecular magnetism.

Abstract
Controlling the spin of metal atoms embedded in molecular systems is a key step toward the realization of molecular electronics and spintronics. Many efforts have been devoted to explore the influencing factors dictating the survival or quenching of a magnetic moment in a metal-organic molecule, and among others, the spin control by axial ligand attachments is the most promising. Herein, from the interplay of high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy imaging/manipulation and scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements together with density functional theory calculations, we successfully demonstrate that a Ni trimer within a metal-organic motif acquires a net spin promoted by the adsorption of an on-top Br atom. The spin localization in the trimetal centers bonded to Br was monitored via the Kondo effect. The removal of the Br ligand resulted in the switch from a Kondo ON to a Kondo OFF state. The magnetic state induced by the Br ligand is theoretically attributed to the enhanced Br 4pz and Ni 3dz2 states due to the charge redistribution. The manipulation strategy reported here provides the possibility to explore potential applications of spin-tunable structures in spintronic devices.

Abstract
The established application of graphene in organic/inorganic spin-valve spintronic assemblies is as a spin-transport channel for spin-polarized electrons injected from ferromagnetic substrates. To generate and control spin injection without such substrates, the graphene backbone must be imprinted with spin-polarized states and itinerant-like spins. Computations suggest that such states should emerge in graphene derivatives incorporating pyridinic nitrogen. The synthesis and electronic properties of nitrogen-doped graphene (N content: 9.8%), featuring both localized spin centers and spin-containing sites with itinerant electron properties, are reported. This material exhibits spin-switch behavior (on-off-on) controlled by microwave irradiation at X-band frequency. This phenomenon may enable the creation of novel types of switches, filters, and spintronic devices using sp2 -only 2D systems.

Abstract
To better understand the factors determining the multi-step relaxation processes in polynuclear lanthanide single molecule magnets (SMMs), two Dy(iii)4 SMMs showing two-step relaxation processes were elaborately designed and investigated for their structure-dependent magnetic properties. Through targetedly fine-tuning the auxiliary ligand (from the anion of 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione to 2-acetylcyclopentanone) on specific Dy(iii) sites while retaining the same type of coordination atoms, one of the two relaxation processes shifted to higher temperature with an increase of energy barrier, which permits the unambiguous assignment of the relaxation processes to specific metal sites. Therefore, the present {Dy4} systems provide a good example to probe the factors determining the relaxation dynamics, and point to a simple way to optimize the magnetic performance of polynuclear dysprosium SMMs.

Abstract
Three mononuclear metal complexes [MII(L-N3O2)(MeCN)2][BPh4]2 (M = Fe, 1; Co, 2; Ni, 3) were isolated and structurally characterized. Magnetic studies revealed uniaxial magnetic anisotropy for 1 (D = -17.1 cm-1) and 3 (D = -14.3 cm-1) and easy-plane magnetic anisotropy for 2 (D = +36.9 cm-1). Slow magnetic relaxation was observed for complexes 1 and 2 under an applied magnetic field, both of which are dominated by a Raman process.

Abstract
Exploring the surface self-assembly of small molecules that act as building blocks (tectons) for complex supramolecular structures is crucial for realizing surface-supported functional molecular devices. Here, we report on the synthesis and surface self-assembly of a new pyrazine-derived molecule with pyridine pendants. Ambient scanning tunneling microscopy investigation at the solution-solid interface reveals polymorphic self-assembly of these molecules on a HOPG substrate. Two different molecular packing structures with equal distribution are observed. Detailed analysis of the STM images emphasizes the crucial role of weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding, and molecule-substrate interactions in the formation of the observed polymorphs. Such weak hydrogen bonding interactions are highly desirable for the formation of modular supramolecular architectures since they can provide sufficiently robust molecular structures and also facilitate error correction.

Abstract
The study of mononuclear lanthanide-based systems, where the observed Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) properties originate from the local magnetic anisotropy of the single lanthanide ion, has been extensively investigated in the literature. The case for polynuclear lanthanide SMMs becomes more challenging both experimentally and theoretically due to the complexity of such architectures involving interactions between the magnetic centers. Much interest was devoted to the study of the structural effect on the magnetic interactions and relaxation dynamics. However, the understanding of the structural influence on those two factors remains a difficult task. To address this issue, a system containing two structurally related tetranuclear Dy(iii) SMMs, namely [Dy4(L)4(OH)2(DMF)4(NO3)2]·2(DMF)·(H2O) (1) and [Dy4(L)4(OH)2(DMF)2(NO3)2] (2) (H2L = 2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)phenol), is introduced and investigated. Through modifying the ligands on the changeable coordination sites, the intramolecular magnetic interactions and relaxation dynamics in these two Dy(iii)4 SMMs can be tuned. Both complexes exhibit slow relaxation of their magnetization with a relaxation barrier of 114 K for complex 2 while a blocking temperature below 2 K is observed for complex 1. Ab initio calculations reveal that changes in coordination numbers and geometries on the Dy(iii) sites can significantly affect the magnetic interactions as well as single-ion anisotropy. The combination of experimental work and ab initio calculations offers insight into the relationship between structures and magnetic properties and sheds light on the rational design of future polynuclear lanthanide SMMs with enhanced magnetic properties.

Abstract
Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) incorporate key properties that make them promising candidates for the emerging field of spintronics. The challenge to realize ordered SMM arrangements on surfaces and at the same time to preserve the magnetic properties upon interaction with the environment is a crucial point on the way to applications. Here we employ inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) to address the magnetic properties in single Fe4 complexes that are adsorbed in a highly ordered arrangement on graphene/Ir(111). We are able to substantially reduce the influence of both the tunneling tip and the adsorption environment on the Fe4 complex during the measurements by using appropriate tunneling parameters in combination with the flat-lying Fe4H derivative and a weakly interacting surface. This allows us to perform noninvasive IETS studies on these bulky molecules. From the measurements we identify intermultiplet spin transitions and determine the intramolecular magnetic exchange interaction constant on a large number of molecules. Although a considerable scattering of the exchange constant values is observed, the distribution maximum is located at a value that coincides with that of the bulk. Our findings confirm a retained molecular magnetism of the Fe4H complex at the local scale and evaluate the influence of the environment on the magnetic exchange interaction.

Abstract
The manipulation of spin orientations in molecular nanomagnets assembled on surfaces is essential for the development of memory devices. These properties are dominated by interactions with the substrate. Here, we show that individual manganocene molecules deposited on Cu(111) exhibit different easy magnetization directions in an applied electric-field due to different contact geometries. Using Hubbard-U corrected density-functional theory to describe strong correlation effects and a non-self-consistent diagonalization method to treat spin-orbit coupling, we demonstrate that the field-induced spin reorientation transition occurs in the standing-up molecule in both high-spin (HS) and low-spin states, while the transition only occurs in the HS state for the flat-lying molecule. We propose plausible mechanisms in terms of charge polarization at the interface as well as modifications of the electronic states near the Fermi level E F. We show that the molecule largely preserves its arrangement of 3d orbitals in the standing configuration due to the "insulating layer" (bridging ligand), whereas direct contact of the Mn ion with the substrate in the lying configuration induces an orbital degeneracy around E F, thus preventing the electrical modulation of magnetic anisotropies.

Abstract
Graphene, as well as other two-dimensional materials, is a promising candidate for use in bioimaging, therapeutic drug delivery, and bio-sensing applications. Here, we developed a protocol to functionalize graphene with recombinant proteins using genetically encoded SpyTag-SpyCatcher chemistry. SpyTag forms a covalent isopeptide bond with its genetically encoded partner SpyCatcher through spontaneous amidation under physiological conditions. The functionalization protocol developed is based on the use of short proteins as a linker, where two graphene-binding-peptides (GBPs) are attached to both ends of SpyTag (referred to as GStG), followed by the covalent conjugation with SpyCatcher-fusion proteins. The proposed method enables the decoration of crystalline graphene with various proteins, such as fluorescent proteins and affibody molecules that bind to cancerous cells. This scheme, which takes advantage of the cleanness of single-crystal graphene and the robustness of SpyTag-SpyCatcher chemistry, provides a versatile platform on which to study the biomolecule-surface and cell-substrate interactions and, indeed, may lead to a new way of designing biomedical devices. The interaction between peptides and graphene was clearly shown using molecular dynamics simulation and proven using specially designed experiments.

We present the design, synthesis and magnetic properties of molecular magnetic systems that contain all elements necessary for spin-valve control in molecular spintronic devices in a single molecule. We investigate the static and dynamic magnetic properties and quantum spin properties of butadiyne-linked homo- and hetero-nuclear lanthanide-porphyrin dimers. A heterometallated porphyrin dimer containing both TbIII and DyIII centres is created rationally by the stepwise oxidative homocoupling of distinct lanthanide-porphyrin monomers. TbIII and DyIII mononuclear porphyrin complexes, homodimers and heterodimers all exhibit slow magnetic relaxation below 10 kelvin under a static magnetic field. The coherence times for GdIII porphyrin monomers and dimers are found to be in excess of 3.0 μs at 2 K, allowing distinct magnetic manipulations in low temperature transport experiments.

Abstract
The magnetic ordering and bistability of one-dimensional chains of endofullerene Dy2ScN@C80 single-molecule magnets (SMMs) packed inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), and ab initio calculations. X-ray absorption measurements reveal that the orientation of the encapsulated endofullerenes differs from the isotropic distribution in the bulk sample, indicating a partial ordering of the endofullerenes inside the SWCNTs. The effect of the one-dimensional packing was further investigated by ab initio calculations, demonstrating that for specific tube diameters, the encapsulation is leading to energetically preferential orientations of the endohedral clusters. Additionally, element-specific magnetization curves reveal a decreased magnetic bistability of the encapsulated Dy2ScN@C80 SMMs compared to the bulk analog.

Abstract
A clear insight into the electrical manipulation of molecular spins at interface is crucial to the design of molecule-based spintronic devices. Here we report on the electrically driven spin transition in manganocene physisorbed on a metallic surface in two different adsorption configurations predicted by ab initio techniques, including a Hubbard-U correction at the manganese site and accounting for the long-range van der Waals interactions. We show that the application of an electric field at the interface induces a high-spin to low-spin transition in the flat-lying manganocene, while it could hardly alter the high-spin ground state of the standing-up molecule. This phenomenon cannot be explained by either the molecule-metal charge transfer or the local electron correlation effects. We demonstrate a linear dependence of the intra-molecular spin-state splitting on the energy difference between crystal-field splitting and on-site Coulomb repulsion. After considering the molecule-surface binding energy shifts upon spin transition, we reproduce the obtained spin-state energetics. We find that the configuration-dependent responses of the spin-transition originate from the binding energy shifts instead of the variation of the local ligand field. Through these analyses, we obtain an intuitive understanding of the effects of molecule-surface contact on spin-crossover under electrical bias.

Abstract
Recently topological materials have attracted much attention due to their quantization transports as well as edge states. It will be excellent to realize the robust quantum anomalous Hall transports in graphene-based devices. Using density-functional theory and tight-binding method, we investigated the structural, magnetic and topological properties for the boron-doped graphene with Re-adsorption. A large band-gap of 32.5 meV is opened by the Rashba spin-orbital coupling, and the band-gap is robust against the shape deformation of ±[Formula: see text] along the zigzag direction. Giant magnetic anisotropy emerges in this adsorption system together with the Fermi level lying in the band gap. Both the magnetic anisotropy and the band gap can be tuned by a moderate electric field. Calculations reveal that the system exhibits the quantization transports with the Chern number [Formula: see text].

Abstract
Using ab initio calculation coupled with the bond-order-length-strength (BOLS) approximation, we investigate the configurations and electronic properties of (α, β)-graphyne nanoribbons (GYNRs) with armchair (AGYNRs) and zigzag (ZGYNRs) edges. Our investigation shows that the armchair-edged β-GYNRs and all α-GYNRs are semiconductors with suitable band-gaps, and that their band-gaps increase as the widths of nanoribbons decrease; on the other hand, zigzag-edged β-GYNRs appear to be zero-band-gap materials. Observation results suggest that (i) atomic undercoordination shortens and stiffens the C-C bond, which contributes to the Hamiltonian and hence widens the band-gap intrinsically; (ii) zigzag-edged β-GYNRs lack a band-gap due to the edge-undercoordinated atoms lacking the energy to open the β-graphyne gap; and (iii) the edge-undercoordination of atoms occurs during charge entrapment.

Abstract
Ab initio calculations performed on a series of lanthanide encapsulated fullerenes reveal {DyOSc}@C82 to be one of the best host-guest pairs to offer a barrier height exceeding 1400 cm-1. The high-symmetry environment preserved inside the cage quenches the QTM effects up to third-excited states leading to very larger barrier heights and this opens up a new possibility of obtaining attractive SMMs based on lanthanide based endohedral metallo-fullerenes (EMFs).

Abstract
Since 2003, terbium(iii) bis-phthalocyaninato complexes have been recognised as acting as single molecule magnets (SMMs), propitiating multiple studies with the aim of better understanding the single metal-ion based magnetism with unusually high blocking temperatures. In the quest for novel applications, it became clear that if spintronic devices were made from SMM molecules, their confinement in the proximity of surfaces or electrodes would become difficult to circumvent. In this perspective article, we highlight the influence of the presence of different substrates on the magnetic performance of TbPc2-SMMs, in principle caused by, among other effects, electronic hybridization, dipole-dipole coupling and changing quantum tunnelling (QT) rates on the surface. We show that the improved comprehension of how SMMs interact and communicate with the environment finally leads to magnetic remanence and lower tunnelling rates, paving the way to novel classes of spintronic devices.

Abstract
We demonstrate that electrospray deposition enables the fabrication of highly periodic self-assembled arrays of Fe4H single molecule magnets on graphene/Ir(111). The energetic positions of molecular states are probed by means of scanning tunneling spectroscopy, showing pronounced long- and short-ranged spatial modulations, indicating the presence of both locally varying intermolecular as well as adsorption-site dependent molecule-substrate interactions. From the magnetic field dependence of the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism signal, we infer that the magnetic easy axis of each Fe4H molecule is oriented perpendicular to the sample surface and that after the deposition the value of the uniaxial anisotropy is identical to the one in bulk. Our findings therefore suggest that the observed interaction of the molecules with their surrounding does not modify the molecular magnetism, resulting in a two-dimensional array of molecular magnets that retain their bulk magnetic properties.
