Abstract
The electron migration polarization is considered as a promising approach to optimize electromagnetic waves (EMW) dissipation. However, it is still difficult to realize well-controlled electron migration and elucidate the related EMW loss mechanisms for current researches. Herein, a novel Fex N@NGC/Ce system to construct an effective electron migration model based on the electron leaps among the 4f/5d/6s orbitals of Ce ions is explored. In Fe4 N@NGC/CeSA+Cs+NPs , Ce single-atoms (SA) mainly represent a +3 valence state, which can feed the electrons to Ce4+ of clusters (Cs) and CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) through a conductive network under EMW, leading to the electron migration polarization. Such electron migration loss combined with excellent magnetic loss provided by Fe4 N core, results in the optimal EMW attenuation performance with a minimum reflection loss exceeds -85.1 dB and a broadened absorption bandwidth up to 7.5 GHz at 1.5 mm. This study clarifies the in-depth relationship between electron migration polarization and EMW dissipation, providing profound insights into developing well-coordinated magnetic-dielectric nanocomposites for EMW absorption engineering.

Abstract
The present work describes the dynamic magnetic properties of the complex [(CpAr3)4DyIII2Cl4K2]·3.5(C7H8) (1), synthesized by employing a tri-aryl-substituted cyclopentadienyl ligand (CpAr3), [4,4'-(4-phenylcyclopenta-1,3-diene-1,2-diyl)bis(methylbenzene) = CpAr3H]. Each Dy(III)-metallocene weakly couples via K2Cl4, displaying slow relaxation of magnetization below 14.5 K under zero applied dc field via KD3 energy levels with an energy barrier of 136.9/133.7 cm-1 on the Dy sites. The single-ion axial anisotropy energy barrier is reduced by geometrical distortion due to the coordination of two chloride ions at each Dy centre.

Abstract
Macroscopic compass-like magnetic alignment at low magnetic fields is natural for ferromagnetic materials but is seldomly observed in paramagnetic materials. Herein, we report a "paramagnetic compass" that magnetically aligns under ∼mT fields based on the single-crystalline framework constructed by lanthanide ions and organic ligands (Ln-MOF). The magnetic alignment is attributed to the Ln-MOF's strong macroscopic anisotropy, where the highly-ordered structure allows the Ln-ions' molecular anisotropy to be summed according to the crystal symmetry. In tetragonal Ln-MOFs, the alignment is either parallel or perpendicular to the field depending on the easiest axis of the molecular anisotropy. Reversible switching between the two alignments is realized upon the removal and re-adsorption of solvent molecules filled in the framework. When the crystal symmetry is lowered in monoclinic Ln-MOFs, the alignments become even inclined (47°-66°) to the field. These fascinating properties of Ln-MOFs would encourage further explorations of framework materials containing paramagnetic centers.

Abstract
Growing concentration on the novel information processing technology and low-cost, flexible materials make the spintronics and organic materials appealing for the future interdisciplinary investigations. Organic spintronics, in this context, has arisen and witnessed great advances during the past two decades owing to the continuous innovative exploitation of the charge-contained spin polarized current. Albeit with such inspiring facts, charge-absent spin angular momentum flow, namely pure spin currents (PSCs) are less probed in organic functional solids. In this review, the past exploring journey of PSC phenomenon in organic materials are retrospected, including non-magnetic semiconductors and molecular magnets. Starting with the basic concepts and the generation mechanism for PSC, the representative experimental observations of PSC in the organic-based networks are subsequently demonstrated and summarized, by accompanying explicit discussion over the propagating mechanism of net spin itself in the organic media. Finally, future perspectives on PSC in organic materials are illustrated mainly from the material point of view, including single molecule magnets, complexes for the organic ligands framework as well as the lanthanide metal complexes, organic radicals, and the emerging 2D organic magnets.

Abstract
Complexes with short intermetallic distances between transition metal fragments and lanthanide (Ln) fragments are fascinating objects of study, owing to the ambiguity of the nature of the interaction. The addition of the divalent lanthanide fragments Cp*2Ln(OEt2) (Ln = Sm or Yb) to a Pd(ii) complex bearing the deprotonated form of the redox-active, non-symmetrical ligand, 2-pyrimidin-2-yl-1H-benzimidazole (Hbimpm), leads to two isostructural complexes, of the general formula (Cp*2Ln)2[μ-Pd(pyridyl)2] (Ln = Sm (4) and Yb (5)). These adducts have interesting features, such as unique linear Ln-Pd-Ln arrangements and short Ln-Pd distances, which deviate from the expected lanthanide contraction. A mixed computational and spectroscopic study into the formation of these adducts gathers important clues as to their formation. At the same time, thorough characterization of these complexes establishes the +3 oxidation state of all the involved Ln centers. Detailed theoretical computations demonstrate that the apparent deviation from lanthanide contraction is not due to any difference in the intermetallic interaction between the Pd and the Ln, but that the fragments are joined together by electrostatic interactions and dispersive forces. This conclusion contrasts with the findings about a third complex, Cp*2Yb(μ-Me)2PdCp* (6), formed during the reaction, which also possesses a short Yb-Pd distance. Studies at the CASSCF level of theory on this complex show several orbitals containing significant interactions between the 4f and 4d manifolds of the metals. This demonstrates the need for methodical and careful analyses in gauging the intermetallic interaction and the inadequacy of empirical metrics in describing such phenomena.

Abstract
The effects of external pressure on a high-performing dysprosocenium single-molecule magnet are investigated using a combination of X-ray diffraction, magnetometry and theoretical calculations. The effective energy barrier (Ueff) decreases from ca. 1300 cm-1 at ambient pressure to ca. 1125 cm-1 at 3 GPa. Our results indicate that compression < 1.2 GPa has a negligible effect on the Orbach process, but magnetic relaxation > 1 GPa increases via Raman relaxation and/or quantum tunnelling of magnetisation.

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
Physical properties of materials are mainly determined by valence electron configurations, where different valence shells would induce divergent phenomena. In compounds containing Sc2+ , 3d electron occupancy is expected, the same as other transition metal atoms like Ti3+ . But this situation still awaits experimental verification in inorganic materials. Here, we selected ScS to measure the valence electron density and orbital population of Sc2+ through delicate quantitative convergent-beam electron diffraction. With the absence of 3d orbital features around Sc-atom sites and the nearly bare population of t2g orbital, the unintuitive occupation of 4s orbital in Sc2+ is concluded. It should be the first time to report such a special electron configuration in a transition metal compound, in which 4s rather than 3d orbital is preferred. Our findings reveal the distinct behavior of Sc and probable ways to modulate material properties by controlling electron orbitals.

Abstract
Early-actinide-based (U, Np, and Pu) single-molecule magnets (SMMs) have yet to show magnetic properties similar to those of highly anisotropic lanthanide-based ones. However, there are not many studies exploring the late-actinides (more than half-filled f shells) as potential candidates for SMM applications. We computationally explored the electronic structure and magnetic properties of a hypothetical Cf(III) complex isostructural to the experimentally synthesized Dy(dbm)3(bpy) complex (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; dbm = dibenzoylmethanoate) via multireference methods and compared them to those of the Dy(III) analogue. This study shows that the Cf(III) complex can behave as a SMM and has a greater magnetic susceptibility compared to other experimentally and computationally studied early-actinide-based (U, Np, and Pu) magnetic complexes. However, Cf spontaneously undergoes α-decay and converts to Cm. Thus, we also explored the isostructural Cm(III)-based complex. The computed magnetic susceptibility and g-tensor values show that the Cm(III) complex has poor SMM behavior in comparison to both the Dy(III) and Cf(III) complexes, suggesting that the performance of Cf(III)-based magnets may be affected by α-decay and can explain the poor performance of experimentally studied Cf(III)-based molecular magnets in the literature. Further, this study suggests that the ligand field is dominant in Cf(III), which helps to increase the magnetization blocking barrier by nearly 3 times that of its 4f congener.

Abstract
The electron density and thermal motion of diamond are determined at nine temperatures between 100 K and 1000 K via synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data collected on a high-accuracy detector system. Decoupling of the thermal motion from the thermally smeared electron density is performed via an iterative Wilson-Hansen-Coppens-Rietveld procedure using theoretical static structure factors from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The thermal motion is found to be harmonic and isotropic in the explored temperature range, and excellent agreement is observed between experimental atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) and those obtained via theoretical harmonic phonon calculations (HPC), even at 1000 K. The Debye temperature of diamond is determined experimentally to be ΘD = 1883 (35) K. A topological analysis of the electron density explores the temperature dependency of the electron density at the bond critical point. The properties are found to be constant throughout the temperature range. The robustness of the electron density confirms the validity of the crystallographic convolution approximation for diamond in the explored temperature range.

Abstract
We present a multiconfigurational ab initio methodology based on non-orthogonal fragments for the calculation of crystal field energy levels and magnetic properties of lanthanide complexes, implementing a systematic description of non-covalent contributions to metal-ligand bonding. The approach consists of two steps. In the first step, appropriate ab initio wave functions for the various ionic fragments (lanthanide ions and coordinating ligands) are optimized separately, accounting for the influence of the surrounding environment within various approximations. In the second and final step, the scalar relativistic (DKH2) electrostatic Hamiltonian of the whole molecule is represented on the basis of the optimized metal-ligand multiconfigurational non-orthogonal group functions (MC-NOGFs), and reduced to an effective (2J + 1)-dimensional non-orthogonal configuration interaction (CI) problem via Löwdin-partitioning. Within the proposed formalism, the projected non-orthogonal CI Hamiltonian can be expanded to any desired order of perturbation theory in the fragment-localised excitations out of the degenerate space, and its eigenvalues and eigenfunctions provide systematic approximations to the crystal field energies and wave functions. We present here a preliminary implementation of the proposed MC-NOGF method developed for first-order degenerate perturbation theory within our own ab initio code CERES, and compare its performance both with the simpler non-covalent orthogonal ab initio approach, Fragment Ab Initio Model Potential (FAIMP) approximation, and the full CAHF/CASCI-SO method, accounting for metal-ligand covalency in a mean-field manner. We found that the energies and magnetic properties of 44 complexes obtained via an iteratively optimized version of our MC-NOGF first-order non-covalent method compare remarkably well with those obtained using the full CAHF/CASCI-SO method including metal-ligand covalency, thus exposing the predominantly electrostatic character of the metal-ligand interactions, and are superior to those obtained using the FAIMP approach, which in its iteratively optimised variant was believed to date to be the best ab initio description of non-covalent metal-ligand interactions.

Abstract
Zero-field splitting (ZFS) is a fundamental molecular property that is especially relevant for single-molecule magnets (SMMs), electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, and quantum computing. Developing a method that can accurately predict ZFS parameters can be very powerful for designing new SMMs. One of the challenges is to include external correlation in an inherently multiconfigurational open-shell species for the accurate prediction of magnetic properties. Previously available methods depend on expensive multireference perturbation theory calculations to include external correlation. In this paper, we present spin-orbit-inclusive multiconfiguration and multistate pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) calculations of ZFSs; these calculations have a cost comparable to complete-active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF) theory, but they include correlation external to the active space. We found that combining a multistate formulation of MC-PDFT, namely, compressed-state multistate pair-density functional theory, with orbitals optimized by weighted-state-averaged CASSCF, yields reasonably accurate ZFS results.

Abstract
The current trend for ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies opens up new routes in clinical diagnostic imaging as well as in material imaging applications. MRI selectivity is further improved by using contrast agents (CAs), which enhance the image contrast and improve specificity by the paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) mechanism. Generally, the efficacy of a CA at a given magnetic field is measured by its longitudinal and transverse relaxivities r1 and r2, i.e., the longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates T1-1 and T2-1 normalized to CA concentration. However, even though basic NMR sensitivity and resolution become better in stronger fields, r1 of classic CA generally decreases, which often causes a reduction of the image contrast. In this regard, there is a growing interest in the development of new contrast agents that would be suitable to work at higher magnetic fields. One of the strategies to increase imaging contrast at high magnetic field is to inspect other paramagnetic ions than the commonly used Gd(III)-based CAs. For lanthanides, the magnetic moment can be higher than that of the isotropic Gd(III) ion. In addition, the symmetry of electronic ground state influences the PRE properties of a compound apart from diverse correlation times. In this work, PRE of water 1H has been investigated over a wide range of magnetic fields for aqueous solutions of the lanthanide containing polyoxometalates [DyIII(H2O)4GeW11O39]5- (Dy-W11), [ErIII(H2O)3GeW11O39]5- (Er-W11) and [{ErIII(H2O)(CH3COO)(P2W17O61)}2]16- (Er2-W34) over a wide range of frequencies from 20 MHz to 1.4 GHz. Their relaxivities r1 and r2 increase with increasing applied fields. These results indicate that the three chosen POM systems are potential candidates for contrast agents, especially at high magnetic fields.

Abstract
A series of six seven-coordinate pentagonal-bipyramidal (PBP) erbium complexes, with acyclic pentadentate [N3O2] Schiff-base ligands, 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis-(4-methoxybenzoylhydrazone) [H2DAPMBH], or 2,6-diacethylpyridine bis(salicylhydrazone) [H4DAPS], and various apical ligands in different charge states were synthesized: [Er(DAPMBH)(C2H5OH)Cl] (1); [Er(DAPMBH)(H2O)Cl]·2C2H5OH (2); [Er(DAPMBH)(CH3OH)Cl] (3); [Er(DAPMBH)(CH3OH)(N3)] (4); [(Et3H)N]+[Er(H2DAPS)Cl2]- (5); and [(Et3H)N]+[Y0.95Er0.05(H2DAPS)Cl2]- (6). The physicochemical properties, crystal structures, and the DC and AC magnetic properties of 1-6 were studied. The AC magnetic measurements revealed that most of Compounds 1-6 are field-induced single-molecule magnets, with estimated magnetization energy barriers, Ueff ≈ 16-28 K. The experimental study of the magnetic properties was complemented by theoretical analysis based on ab initio and crystal field calculations. An experimental and theoretical study of the magnetism of 1-6 shows the subtle impact of the type and charge state of the axial ligands on the SMM properties of these complexes.

Abstract
Abstract
Many paramagnetic metal complexes have emerged as unique magnetic materials (single-molecule magnets), which behave as conventional magnets at the single-molecule level, thereby making it possible to use them in modern devices for data storage and processing. The rational design of these complexes, however, requires a deep understanding of the physical laws behind a single-molecule magnet behaviour, the mechanisms of magnetic relaxation that determines the magnetic properties and the relationship of these properties with the structure of single-molecule magnets. This review focuses on the physical methods providing such understanding, including different versions and various combinations of magnetometry, electron paramagnetic and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, optical spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Many of these methods are traditionally used to determine the composition and structure of new chemical compounds. However, they are rarely applied to study molecular magnetism.

Abstract
We present the magnetic anisotropy of two isostructural pentagonal-bipyramidal complexes, [Ln(H2O)5(HMPA)2]I3·2HMPA (HMPA = hexamethylphosphoramide, Ln = Dy, Ho). Using ac magnetic susceptibility measurements, we find magnetic relaxation barriers of 600 K and 270 K for the Dy- and Ho-compounds, respectively. This difference is supported by polarized neutron diffraction (PND) measured at 5 K and 1 T which provides the first experimental evidence that the transverse elements in the magnetic anisotropy of the Ho-analogue are significant, whereas the Dy-analogue has a near-axial magnetic anisotropy with vanishing transverse contributions. The coordination geometries of the two complexes are highly similar, and we attribute the loss of strong magnetic axiality as expressed in the atomic susceptibility tensors from PND, as well as the smaller relaxation barrier in the Ho-complex compared to the Dy-complex, to the less favorable interaction of the pentagonal bipyramidal crystal field with the characteristics of the Ho(III) 4f-charge distribution.

Abstract
In this work, the magnetic anisotropy in two iso-structural distorted tetrahedral Co(II) complexes, CoX 2tmtu2 [X = Cl(1) and Br(2), tmtu = tetra-methyl-thio-urea] is investigated, using a combination of polarized neutron diffraction (PND), very low-temperature high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction and CASSCF/NEVPT2 ab initio calculations. Here, it was found consistently among all methods that the compounds have an easy axis of magnetization pointing nearly along the bis-ector of the compression angle, with minute deviations between PND and theory. Importantly, this work represents the first derivation of the atomic susceptibility tensor based on powder PND for a single-molecule magnet and the comparison thereof with ab initio calculations and high-resolution X-ray diffraction. Theoretical ab initio ligand field theory (AILFT) analysis finds the d xy orbital to be stabilized relative to the d xz and d yz orbitals, thus providing the intuitive explanation for the presence of a negative zero-field splitting parameter, D, from coupling and thus mixing of d xy and . Experimental d-orbital populations support this interpretation, showing in addition that the metal-ligand covalency is larger for Br-ligated 2 than for Cl-ligated 1.

Abstract
The combined experimental and computational study of the 13 magnetic complexes belonging to the Na[LnDOTA(H2O)] (H4DOTA = tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N″,N‴-tetraacetic acid and Ln = Ce-Yb) family allowed us to identify a new trend: the orientation of the magnetic anisotropy tensors of derivatives differing by seven f electrons practically coincide. We name this trend the fn+7 effect. Experiments and theory fully agree on the match between the magnetic reference frames (e.g., the easy, intermediate, and hard direction). The shape of the magnetic anisotropy of some couples of ions differing by seven f electrons might seem instead different at first look, but our analysis explains a hidden similarity. We thus pave the way toward a reliable predictivity of the magnetic anisotropy of lanthanide complexes with a consequent reduced need of computational and synthetical efforts. We also offer a way to gain information on ions with a relatively small total angular momentum (i.e., Sm3+ and Eu3+) and on the radioactive Pm3+, which are difficult to investigate experimentally.

Abstract
A family of four mononuclear DyIII complexes of the guanidine-based ligand L [L = tris(2-hydroxybenzylidene)triaminoguanidine] with formulas [DyLCl2(DMF)2]·DMF·CH3OH (1), [DyL2(CH3OH)2]Br·H2O·3CH3OH (2), [DyL2(H2O)2]SCN·3H2O·CH3OH (3) and [DyL2(CH3OH)2]SCN·CH3CN·CH3OH (4) were successfully prepared by varying reaction conditions. Complex 1 is seven-coordinate, with three N2O from ligand L along with two equatorially trapped DMF molecules and two axial Cl- anions, adopting pentagonal bipyramidal D5h symmetry. Complexes 2-4 have somewhat similar structures with six donor N4O2 sites from two ligands and two O from corresponding solvent molecules, featuring a N4O4 octa-coordinate environment with triangular dodecahedron D2d symmetry. Magnetic investigations indicated that complex 1 did not demonstrate single-molecule magnetic behavior, while complexes 2-4 were single-ion magnets (SIMs) under zero applied DC field with the effective energy barriers (Ueff) of 207.3 (2), 222.5 (3) and 311.7 K (4), respectively. The different types of coordinated solvent molecules and counter anions caused changes in intermolecular interactions and coordination geometries that severely affected their magnetic dynamics. The magnetic behaviors of these complexes were investigated through complete-active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations with the inclusion of spin-orbit effects. Calculations revealed that the measured differences in magnetic behaviors originated mainly from intermolecular and crystal-packing effects as isolated complexes 1-4 have almost identical electronic and magnetic properties.

Abstract
Self-assembling the novel nitronyl nitroxide radical NIT-3Py-5-Ph (2-(5-phenyl-3-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) with Ln(hfac)3·2H2O and Cu(hfac)2 (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) resulted in two heterometallic complexes with formula [LnCu(hfac)5(NIT-3Py-5-Ph)2] (Ln = Gd 1, Dy 2), in which two NIT-3Py-5-Ph radicals are coordinated with the LnIII ion via their nitroxide units in the cis-arrangement manner and the CuII ion is ligated by the pyridyl N donors of the radicals. Interestingly, when the phenyl group of NIT-3Py-5-Ph was replaced with a p-pyridyl group, a new family of 2D networks, namely, {[Ln(hfac)3][Cu(hfac)2]2(NIT-3Py-5-4Py)2}n (Ln = Gd 3, Tb 4, Dy 5; NIT-3Py-5-4Py = 2-(5-(4-pyridyl)-3-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) was obtained. In the 2D sheet, each NIT-3Py-5-4Py ligand serves as a μ3-bridge to bind one LnIII center by the aminoxyl moiety and two CuII ions through two pyridine groups to form a 2D structure. The LnIII ion is coordinated by two NO units of two radicals in a trans configuration. DC magnetic measurements indicate that ferromagnetic LnIII-NO exchange occurs in 1-5. AC studies reveal that 2 displays slow relaxation of the magnetization while no such magnetic relaxation is found in complex 5. The observed different magnetic relaxation behaviors of two Dy analogues could be attributed to the different coordination modes of NO groups of the radicals, and the coordination geometry of the Dy center is from C2v in 2 to D2d in 5.

Abstract
Treatment of the new methanediide-methanide complex [Dy(SCS)(SCSH)(THF)] (1Dy, SCS = {C(PPh2S)2}2-) with alkali metal alkyls and auxillary ethers produces the bis-methanediide complexes [Dy(SCS)2][Dy(SCS)2(K(DME)2)2] (2Dy), [Dy(SCS)2][Na(DME)3] (3Dy) and [Dy(SCS)2][K(2,2,2-cryptand)] (4Dy). For further comparisons, the bis-methanediide complex [Dy(NCN)2][K(DB18C6)(THF)(toluene)] (5Dy, NCN = {C(PPh2NSiMe3)2}2-, DB18C6 = dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether) was prepared. Magnetic susceptibility experiments reveal slow relaxation of the magnetisation for 2Dy-5Dy, with open magnetic hysteresis up to 14, 12, 15, and 12 K, respectively (∼14 Oe s-1). Fitting the alternating current magnetic susceptibility data for 2Dy-5Dy gives energy barriers to magnetic relaxation (U eff) of 1069(129)/1160(21), 1015(32), 1109(70), and 757(39) K, respectively, thus 2Dy-4Dy join a privileged group of SMMs with U eff values of ∼1000 K and greater with magnetic hysteresis at temperatures >10 K. These structurally similar Dy-components permit systematic correlation of the effects of axial and equatorial ligand fields on single-molecule magnet performance. For 2Dy-4Dy, the Dy-components can be grouped into 2Dy-cation/4Dy and 2Dy-anion/3Dy, where the former have almost linear C[double bond, length as m-dash]Dy[double bond, length as m-dash]C units with short average Dy[double bond, length as m-dash]C distances, and the latter have more bent C[double bond, length as m-dash]Dy[double bond, length as m-dash]C units with longer average Dy[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds. Both U eff and hysteresis temperature are superior for the former pair compared to the latter pair as predicted, supporting the hypothesis that a more linear axial ligand field with shorter M-L distances produces enhanced SMM properties. Comparison with 5Dy demonstrates unusually clear-cut examples of: (i) weakening the equatorial ligand field results in enhancement of the SMM performance of a monometallic system; (ii) a positive correlation between U eff barrier and axial linearity in structurally comparable systems.

Abstract
In complex [Na-Dy(μ2-L)4]n(HL = 8-hydroxyquinoline) (1), the DyL4 units were linked by the NaI ions to form one-dimensional chains. The chain exhibited slow magnetic relaxation behavior at low temperature, accompanied by obvious quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM). Very weak fluorescence was detected in 1 due to the mismatch of the state energy between DyIII and the L ligand. Through the magnetic dilution of diamagnetic YIII ions, complex [NaDy0.02Y0.98(μ2-L)4]n (2) was obtained; in 2 the QTM of DyIII was suppressed and the single ion magnet (SIM) behavior was enhanced. More interestingly, the fluorescence emission of 8-hydroxyquinoline was lightened by the YIII ions in 2, whose intensity is linearly correlated with the temperature variation. The examples of dual functional fluorescent thermometers and SIM materials are attained simply by ion dilution, achieving the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

Abstract
Reported here is an entirely new application of experimental electron density (EED) in the study of magnetic anisotropy of single-molecule magnets (SMMs). Among those SMMs based on one single transition metal, tetrahedral CoII-complexes are prominent, and their large zero-field splitting arises exclusively from coupling between the d x 2 - y 2 and dxy orbitals. Using very low temperature single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction data, an accurate electron density (ED) was obtained for a prototypical SMM, and the experimental d-orbital populations were used to quantify the dxy-d x 2 - y 2 coupling, which simultaneously provides the composition of the ground-state Kramers doublet wave function. Based on this experimentally determined wave function, an energy barrier for magnetic relaxation in the range 193-268 cm-1 was calculated, and is in full accordance with the previously published value of 230 cm-1 obtained from near-infrared spectroscopy. These results provide the first clear and direct link between ED and molecular magnetic properties.

Abstract
The relationship between the structure and the properties of a drug or material is a key concept of chemistry. Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure is considered to be of such importance that almost every report of a new chemical compound is accompanied by an X-ray crystal structure – at least since the 1970s when diffraction equipment became widely available. Crystallographic software of that time was restricted to very limited computing power, and therefore drastic simplifications had to be made. It is these simplifications that make the determination of the correct structure, especially when it comes to hydrogen atoms, virtually impossible. We have devised a robust and fast system where modern chemical structure models replace the old assumptions, leading to correct structures from the model refinement against standard in-house diffraction data using no more than widely available software and desktop computing power. We call this system NoSpherA2 (Non-Spherical Atoms in Olex2). We explain the theoretical background of this technique and demonstrate the far-reaching effects that the improved structure quality that is now routinely available can have on the interpretation of chemical problems exemplified by five selected examples. NoSpherA2 brings quantum crystallography to routine structure determination and to the analysis of chemical properties for any class of materials.![]()

Abstract
Mendeleev's introduction of the periodic table of elements is one of the most important milestones in the history of chemistry, as it brought order into the known chemical and physical behaviour of the elements. The periodic table can be seen as parallel to the Standard Model in particle physics, in which the elementary particles known today can be ordered according to their intrinsic properties. The underlying fundamental theory to describe the interactions between particles comes from quantum theory or, more specifically, from quantum field theory and its inherent symmetries. In the periodic table, the elements are placed into a certain period and group based on electronic configurations that originate from the Pauli and Aufbau principles for the electrons surrounding a positively charged nucleus. This order enables us to approximately predict the chemical and physical properties of elements. Apparent anomalies can arise from relativistic effects, partial-screening phenomena (of type lanthanide contraction) and the compact size of the first shell of every l-value. Further, ambiguities in electron configurations and the breakdown of assigning a dominant configuration, owing to configuration mixing and dense spectra for the heaviest elements in the periodic table. For the short-lived transactinides, the nuclear stability becomes an important factor in chemical studies. Nuclear stability, decay rates, spectra and reaction cross sections are also important for predicting the astrophysical origin of the elements, including the production of the heavy elements beyond iron in supernova explosions or neutron-star mergers. In this Perspective, we critically analyse the periodic table of elements and the current status of theoretical predictions and origins for the heaviest elements, which combine both quantum chemistry and physics.

Abstract
We investigate a family of dinuclear dysprosium metallocene single-molecule magnets (SMMs) bridged by methyl and halogen groups [Cp'2 Dy(μ-X)]2 (Cp'=cyclopentadienyltrimethylsilane anion; 1: X=CH3 - ; 2: X=Cl- ; 3: X=Br- ; 4: X=I- ). For the first time, the magnetic easy axes of dysprosium metallocene SMMs are experimentally determined, confirming that the orientation of them are perpendicular to the equatorial plane which is made up of dysprosium and bridging atoms. The orientation of the magnetic easy axis for 1 deviates from the normal direction (by 10.3°) due to the stronger equatorial interactions between DyIII and methyl groups. Moreover, its magnetic axes show a temperature-dependent shifting, which is caused by the competition between exchange interactions and Zeeman interactions. Studies of fluorescence and specific heat as well as ab initio calculations reveal the significant influences of the bridging ligands on their low-lying exchange-based energy levels and, consequently, low-temperature magnetic properties.

[DOI: 10.1107/s205327332000042x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2019] [Accepted: 01/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Modern methods of quantum crystallography are techniques firmly rooted in quantum chemistry and, as in many quantum chemical strategies, electron densities are expressed as two-centre expansions that involve basis functions centred on atomic nuclei. Therefore, the computation of the necessary structure factors requires the evaluation of Fourier transform integrals of basis function products. Since these functions are usually Cartesian Gaussians, in this communication it is shown that the Fourier integrals can be efficiently calculated by exploiting an extension of the Obara–Saika recurrence formulas, which are successfully used by quantum chemists in the computation of molecular integrals. Implementation and future perspectives of the technique are also discussed.
