A promising new route towards single-molecule magnets based on the oxalate ligand.
A unique purely lanthanide-based single-molecule magnet (SMM) with an oxalate bridge has been designed through a rational synthetic approach. This strategy opens up new opportunities to design SMMs through the premeditated choice of a blocking ligand and suitable oxalate bridge.
