title: Constructing magnetic molecular solids by employing three-atom ligands as bridges.
abstract: The combination of some three-atom bridges with paramagnetic 3d transition metal ions results in the systematic isolation of molecular magnetic materials, ranging from single-molecule and single-chain magnets to layered weak ferromagnets and three-dimensional porous magnets. The design strategy and role of secondary components, such as co-ligands, templates and other mixed short ligands are discussed.
