Recent Developments in Co III 2 Ln III 2 Single-Molecule Magnets

In this work we review the Co 2 III Ln 2 III family of compounds reported up to date that shows SMM features. The vast majority of them show a butterfly arrangement with Ln III ions placed at the body positions. The number of Dy III examples constitutes the majority, probably because of the intrinsi...
