One of the main challenges in the field of the molecular materials is the design of molecular-based ferromagnets. My basic strategy along this line consists of assembling ferrimagnetic chains within the crystal lattice in a ferromagnetic fashion. This can be achieved owing to the (almost) limitless flexibility of the molecular chemistry. The chains may be either regular or alternating. Examples of both situations are presented. MnCu(pbaOH) (H 2 O) 3 (pbaOH = 2-hydroxy-1,3-propylenebis(oxamato)) is a regular chain compound ordering ferromagnetically at T e 4.6 K, and MnCu(obbz) . 1H 2 O (obbz = oxamido-N,N'-bis(2-benzoato)) is an alternating chain compound exhibiting a spontaneous magnetization below T e = 14 K. To get information on the mechanism of the magnetic ordering, a broad spectrum of physical techniques is utilized, including magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements, EPR spectroscopy and heat capacity data. The perspectives in this new field are outlined.

We report measurements of the specific heat capacity and the thermal expansion for Ni-Cr alloys in the vicinity of the magnetic ordering temperature TM and at lower temperatures. No evidence of a contribution due to the magnetic ordering is found in the specific heat capacity and only the indication of a small contribution in the thermal expansion near to T M for an Ni 11 at. % Cr alloy. A significant contribution of magnetic origin is seen for both quantities at lower temperatures. Values for the magnetic Grlineisen parameter yi, are derived from the specific heat capacity and thermal expansion data and compared with values of dIn TM/d In V obtained from direct easurements of dTM/dP. Both yi, and - d In TM/d In V are large and negative for weakly ferromagnetic alloys but differ numerically, whereas for paramagnetic alloys yi, is large and positive.
