Magnets vs. Molecule Magnet
[Fe3O4] Magnetic moment arise due to collection of individual magnetic moments of numerous Fe(III) centres. However miniaturisation demands permanent magnetization in a as tiny space as possible.
Applications of magnets widespread, information Storage devices using magnetic materials is a Multi-billion dollar industry.
Is it possible to obtain detectable and measurable permanent magnetization in a molecule?

What are Molecule Nano Magnets?
A single molecule that behaves as a nanoscale magnet below a critical temperature. i.e. displays hysteresis of molecular origin.
Interests in single molecule magnets As single molecule magnetic memory devices As magnetic quantum logic devices Fundamental studies of large spins, i.e. quantum vs. classical behavior Advantages Chemical control - "bottom-up" materials engineering Tremendous control of the magnetic unit (the spin), as well as its coupling to the environment

How do they work? Employing Lanthanides for molecule based magnets is an attractive idea.
Why Lanthanides are so attractive ? Presence of unquenched angular momentum
Strong spin-orbit coupling (LS coupling)

Understanding and controlling spin Hamiltonian parameters is important for future success.
Computational Chemistry can play an important role here !
Our approach:
Methodology: Model: Broken symmetry Model described by Noodleman Software: Gaussian 03/09 and Jaguar Using: B3LYP Functional and TZV basis set Relativistic corrections by DKH or ECP Also utilized ab initio CASSCF calculations (MOLCAS, ORCA).

How do we stop tunnelling? For tunneling to occur between two levels that have the same energy, some admixing of the states must occur
Interacting states giving rise to a tunnel splitting
This interaction can be provided by: low-symmetry components of the crystal field by hyperfine fields (provided by magnetic nuclei e.g. 55Mn) by dipolar fields caused by metal ions.

mJ = +15/2

Can we deliberatively include 3d metal ion with Lanthanides to Stop tunnelling?

Stronger overlap enable stronger coupling
[{[(Me3Si)2N]2Gd(THF)}2(μ-η2:η2-N2)]-
An extremely strong AF exchange between radical and GdIII has been observed.
N23- Exp : JGd-rad = -27 cm-1
DFT: JGd-rad = -23 cm-1 JGdGd= -0.5cm-1

BUT Why ???
![Page 21: E m m =-5/2 m =+5/2 z=-5 m z=+5 Isotropic Anisotropic Small U](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012205/61de5a62a1546e7ccb4087ae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The unpaired electron on N23- resides in a * orbital.
Large negative charge and diffused nature of * orbital leads to strong overlap particularly with the fxyz orbital of GdIII
Jnet=JF+JAF Small & weak Large & strong
Exchange as high as 40 cm-1 is achievable.

How do we make it even stronger?
Several fullerene and radical fullerene are screened for a strong exchange
interactions.
Gd2@C79N radical cage:
DFT: JGd-rad = +378 cm-1
JGdGd = 0.8 cm-1
Significant CT leads to largest J ever observed for this cage.
Exp evidence: Significant CT and long relaxation time and EPR experiments indicate strong coupling.

Summary: Molecular modelling is powerful tool in the area of MNMs {4f-4f} pairs mediate weak exchange ( maximum 2 cm-1) Quenching of QTM is challenging. Molecular coolants is the ideal application. {3d-4f} pairs mediate moderately strong exchange (up to 10 cm-1}. QTM suppression is possible, new structures and avenues needs to be explored. {radical-4f} pairs mediate strong exchange (up to 400 cm-1). Less explored area and ideal for SMMs
