Molecular magnetism is fuelled by the quest to obtain molecules capable of
hosting unpaired electrons with customizable properties. The concerted effort
of physicists and chemists over the past decades has established clear
synthetic routes, reliable characterisation techniques and robust theoretical
and computational formalisms towards that end, exploiting elements across the
whole of the periodic table. This has expanded the scope of the field, which
currently counts with strong contenders for
applications in research areas as varied as quantum information, light-
emitting devices, or even green chemistry. This seminar aims to convey a sense
of what molecular magnetism has to offer and the ways we try to exploit it in
our research. Particularly, I will present our results on how the combination
of molecular design, magnetic characterisation and quantum chemistry methods
can help
advance towards better performing systems in two broad families of magnetic
molecules: single molecule magnets (SMMs) and organic radicals. I will then
finish by charting future lines of research, hoping to highlight possible
areas of collaboration with different members of the DIPC community.
