Summary: Luminescent thermometry enables remote temperature detection and has great potential in future technological applications. We demonstrate for the first time that luminescence thermometry can be combined with a complementary temperature readout related to a different property. By taking advantage of the temperature dependence of magnetic and luminescence features in Single-Molecule Magnets (SMM), we develop original dual magneto-optical molecular thermometers that offer a 10-fold improvement in relative thermal sensitivity over the whole temperature range.

Summary: Lanthanide-based single molecule magnets have shown promise for creating single molecule devices that can operate at high temperatures. The application of external pressure could be a promising method for controlling magnetic anisotropy and relaxation processes. Criteria for qualifying for such systems include the presence of first excited energy levels with different orientations of the anisotropy tensor, low energies for mixing with the ground state, and the ability to tune energies with small geometric perturbations.

Summary: A new material, ferroelectric single-molecule magnets (FE SMMs), which exhibit single-molecule magnetic behaviors, toroidal magnetic moments, and room-temperature ferroelectricity, has been reported. The presence of toroidal moments and ferroelectricity, along with quantum magnetism, in these rare-earth single-molecule magnets, leads to a unique class of multiferroics.

Summary: Accurate modeling of vibronically driven magnetic relaxation is crucial for designing next generation single-molecule magnets. This study introduces a novel approach to obtain spin-phonon couplings analytically, which shows high accuracy and computational efficiency. By comparing with conventional methods, it is demonstrated that this approach is feasible and advantageous.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that mononuclear lanthanide (Ln) complexes can be high-performing single-molecule magnets (SMMs). The focus is on mononuclear Dy-III alkoxide and aryloxide SMMs with coordination numbers up to eight, covering synthesis, solid-state structures and magnetic attributes. Brief overviews are also provided of mononuclear Tb-III, Ho-III, Er-III and Yb-III alkoxide and aryloxide SMMs.

Summary: Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with slow magnetization relaxation and purely molecular hysteresis are promising for information storage, spintronics, and quantum computing. Improving the blocking temperature (T-B) and effective relaxation barrier (U-eff) is crucial for their application. Multidisciplinary research has achieved SMMs with a U-eff up to 2,000 K and a T-B in the liquid nitrogen region. Enhancing the uniaxiality of magnetic anisotropy is critical for high-performance SMMs.

Summary: The syntheses and magnetic properties of organometallic heterometallic compounds containing hexaazatrinaphthylene radicals (HAN•3-) and rare earth (RE) ions are reported. The results show that the ligand-based mixed valency in one of the compounds leads to the isolation of another compound via one-electron chemical reduction. The compounds containing Gd and Dy ions exhibit stronger overall ferromagnetic behaviors and enhanced slow magnetic relaxation compared to those without the ligand-based mixed valency.

Summary: A new approach combining the behavior of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) and luminescence thermometry has been studied for the contactless temperature readout of future SMM-based devices. It was found that the structural transformation of Tb-III-based emissive SMMs formed in a cyanido-bridged framework can enhance the SMM effect, resulting in SMM features up to 42 K. Both systems exhibit emission related to f-f electronic transitions, allowing for optical thermometry below 100 K. Dehydration expands the temperature overlap between SMM behavior and thermometry, from 6 K to 42 K.

Summary: The article reports on a theoretical study of low coordination number lanthanide single-ion magnets (Ln-SIMs). The results identify the best Ln-SIMs using a concise criterion and propose several routes to improve their performance. The most efficient route is shown to be widening the axial angle, which could significantly enhance the performance of these magnets.

Summary: Divalent lanthanide organometallics are highly reducing compounds known for single electron transfer reactivity and small molecule activation. This study presents a rare organometallic sandwich compound of divalent thulium with the cyclooctatetraenyl ligand, introducing it as an additional strategy for designing high-performing Single Molecule Magnets. The first divalent thulium sandwich complex with f(13) configuration behaves as a single-molecule magnet even in the absence of a DC field.

Summary: Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are attracting attention for their potential applications in high-density information storage and spintronic devices. Organic ligands and inorganic polyoxometalates (POMs) have been used to achieve high-performance SMMs. POMs offer advantages such as excluding dipole-dipole coupling and providing rigid frameworks for surface deposition and device applications. This review systematically summarizes the research progress and design strategies for POM-based SMMs, as well as the multifunctional properties for future application devices.
