Pushing boundaries in single molecule magnets: an ab initio perspective on harnessing higher oxidation states for unprecedented lanthanide SMM performance The recent breakthrough of attaining a blocking temperature near liquid N2 temperature rekindled the interest in lanthanide-based single molecule magnets (SMMs) for end-user applications. Within this ...

📢Several advantages in fine-tuning the oxidation states in #lanthanide #SMMs is revealed. These potentially yield higher blocking temperatures, offering a novel strategy for developing a new class of lanthanide SMMs.
