Abstract
The exchange coupling, represented by the J parameter, is of tremendous importance in understanding the reactivity and magnetic behavior of open-shell molecular systems. In the past, it was the subject of theoretical investigations, but these studies are mostly limited to the interaction between metallic centers. The exchange coupling between paramagnetic metal ions and radical ligands has hitherto received scant attention in theoretical studies, and thus the understanding of the factors governing this interaction is lacking. In this paper, we use DFT, CASSCF, CASSCF/NEVPT2, and DDCI3 methods to provide insight into exchange interaction in semiquinonato copper(II) complexes. Our primary objective is to identify structural features that affect this magnetic interaction. We demonstrate that the magnetic character of Cu(II)-semiquinone complexes are mainly determined by the relative position of the semiquinone ligand to the Cu(II) ion. The results can support the experimental interpretation of magnetic data for similar systems and can be used for the in-silico design of magnetic complexes with radical ligands.

Abstract
This study addresses the magnetic interaction between paramagnetic metal ions and the radical ligands taking the [CuII (hfac)2 (imVDZ)] and [MII (hfac)2 (pyDTDA)] (imVDZ=1,5-dimethyl-3-(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)-6-oxoverdazyl; hfac=(1,1,1,5,5,5)hexafluroacetylacetonate; pyDTDA=4-(2'-pyridyl)-1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl), (M=Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn) compounds as reference systems. The coupling between the metal and ligand spins is quantified in terms of the exchange coupling constant (J) in the platform of density functional theory (DFT) and the wave function-based complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method. Application of DFT and broken symmetry (BS) formalism results ferromagnetic coupling for all the transition metal complexes except the Mn(II) complex. This DFT-BS prediction of magnetic nature matches with the experimental finding for all the complexes other than the Fe(II)-pyDTDA complex, for which an antiferromagnetic coupling between high spin iron and the thiazyl ligand has been reported. However, evaluation of spin state energetics through the multiconfigurational wave function-based method produces the S=3/2 ground spin state for the iron-thiazyl in parity with experiment. Electronic structure analyses find the overlap between the metal- and ligand-based singly occupied molecular orbitals (SOMOs) to be one of the major reasons attributing to different extent of exchange coupling in the systems under investigation.

Abstract
Photogenerated molecular three-spin systems, composed of a chromophore and a covalently bound stable radical, are promising candidates for applications in the field of molecular spintronics. Through excitation with light, an excited doublet state and a quartet state are generated, whereby their energy difference depends on the exchange interaction J TR between the chromophore triplet state (T) and the stable radical (R). In order to establish design rules for new materials to be used in molecular spintronics devices, it is of great importance to gain knowledge on the magnitude of J TR as well as the factors influencing J TR on a molecular level. Here, we present a robust and reliable computational method to determine excited state exchange couplings in three-electron-three-centre systems based on a CASSCF/QD-NEVPT2 approach. The methodology is benchmarked and then applied to a series of molecules composed of a perylene chromophore covalently linked to various stable radicals. We calculate the phenomenological exchange interaction J TR between chromophore and radical, which can be compared directly to the experiment, but also illustrate how the individual exchange interactions J ij can be extracted using an effective Hamiltonian that corresponds to the Heisenberg-Dirac-Van-Vleck Hamiltonian. The latter procedure enables a more detailed analysis of the contributions to the exchange interaction J TR and yields additional insight that will be invaluable for future design optimisation.

Abstract
Slater-Condon parameters and the spin-orbit (SO) coupling constants for various oxidation states of transition metal ions (3d/4d/5d) and trivalent f-block ions were calculated using minimal active space complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF)-SO methods in OpenMolcas. The SO coupling constants have a quadratic relationship to atomic number Z for a fixed dn configuration, as do those for the trivalent lanthanides where configuration also changes as a function of Z. Compared to experimentally-derived values, minimal active space CASSCF-SO approximates SO coupling constants within ca. 200 cm-1, which is usually <10% error for 4dn, 5dn and 4fn configurations, but up to 30% error for 3dn configurations. Slater-Condon parameters are usually overestimated on the order of 10-50%, arising from a lack of dynamic correlation in the method, and thus we do not recommend minimal active space CASSCF-SO methods where accurate term excitation energies are required. However, the error in the Slater-Condon parameters appears to be systematic for divalent 4d and trivalent 4f ions such that scaling may be a useful approach where computational resources are limited, but this is not the case for 3d ions. Hence, caution is advised when using CASSCF-SO methods for comparisons with spectroscopic data, wherein only qualitative results can be expected, and methods accounting for dynamic correlation effects (such as CASPT2 or NEVPT2) should be employed if more quantitative results are required.

Abstract
The complexes [Dy2(tta)6(H2SQ)] (Dy-H2SQ) and [Dy2(tta)6(Q)]·2CH2Cl2 (Dy-Q) (tta− = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate) were obtained from the coordination reaction of the Dy(tta)3·2H2O units with the 2,2′-benzene-1,4-diylbis(6-hydroxy-4,7-di-tert-butyl-1,3-benzodithiol-2-ylium-5-olate ligand (H2SQ) and its oxidized form 2,2′-cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diylidenebis(4,7-di-tert-butyl-1,3-benzodithiole-5,6-dione (Q). The chemical oxidation of H2SQ in Q induced an increase in the coordination number from 7 to 8 around the DyIII ions and by consequence a modulation of the field-induced Single-Molecule Magnet behavior. Computational results rationalized the magnetic properties of each of the dinuclear complexes.

Abstract
The two mononuclear complexes of the formula [Dy(tta)3(L)] (1) and [Dy(hfac)3(L)] (2) (where tta- = 2-thenoytrifluoroacetylacetonate and hfac- = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate) were obtained from the coordination reaction of the Dy(tta)3·2H2O or Dy(hfac)3·2H2O units with the 1,10-phenantroline-5,6-dione ligand (L). Their structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies on single crystals, and they revealed a supramolecular assembly of tetramers through σ-π interactions. Both complexes displayed a Single-Molecule Magnet (SMM) behavior without an external applied magnetic field. Magnetic relaxation happened through Orbach, Raman and Quantum Tunneling of the Magnetization (QTM). Wavefunction theory calculations were realized to rationalize the magnetic properties.
