Descriptors of magnetic anisotropy revisited

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Oct 25;54(86):12163-12166. doi: 10.1039/c8cc05756g.

Abstract

The recently discovered thermal elasticity of magnetic anisotropy is not at all an exotic phenomenon. For many lanthanide complexes the qualitative nature of their magnetic anisotropy changes as a function of temperature and magnetic field; for some, even multiple times. The theoretically predicted existence of such multi-switch compounds is experimentally corroborated.
