After preliminaries about electron properties, and definitions in magnetism, one treats the magnetism of mononuclear complexes, in particular spin cross-over, showing the role of cooperativity and the sensitivity to external perturbations. Orbital interactions and exchange interaction are explained in binuclear model systems, using orbital overlap and orthogonality concepts to explain antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic coupling. The phenomenologically useful Spin Hamiltonian is defined. The concepts are then applied to extended molecular magnetic systems, leading to molecular magnetic materials of various dimensionalities exhibiting bulk ferro- or ferrimagnetism. An illustration is provided by Prussian Blue analogues. Magnetic anisotropy is introduced. It is shown that in some cases, a slow relaxation of magnetization arises and gives rise to appealing single-ion magnets, single-molecule magnets or single-chain magnets, a route to store information at the molecular level.

This review describes advances made in three areas of molecular magnetic materials of the types A: extended frameworks (coordination polymers) showing long-range magnetic order, B: spin-coupled clusters with emphasis on single molecule magnets and (n × n) grid species, C: polynuclear spin-switching (spin crossover) compounds of FeII with emphasis on dinuclear compounds and one-dimensional (1D) and three-dimensional (3D) (framework) materials, including porous ‘hybrid’ systems. The work of the author and his group is largely used to provide examples, together with results from other groups and collaborators that are included for comparison and completeness. Supramolecular aspects such as cluster–cluster and chain–chain interactions are discussed where relevant. A brief discussion is also given of the recent studies, carried out elsewhere, dealing with aspects of spintronics and the possible future relevance to molecular computers (type B materials) and with memory and other device possibilities (type C materials)
