Abstract

This review summarizes recent developments in the field of single-molecule magnets derived from paramagnetic cyanometalate complexes supported by pyrazolylborate ancillary ligands. This review describes developments between 2002 and 2013 and is restricted to descriptions of molecular cyanometalate precursor complexes, their magnetic polynuclear single-molecule magnet derivatives, and common structural archetypes.

Keywords: Cyanometalates, magnetic, polynuclear complexes, single-molecule magnet.
