The design of slow relaxing magnetic molecules requires the optimization of internal molecular vibrations to reduce spin-phonon coupling.

We probe electron–phonon coupling in CoTPyP and CrTPyP synthesized magnetic molecules. Low temperatures STS reveals pronounced Kondo resonances at zero bias in both molecules and additional Kondo resonance replicas observed at higher voltages in vibrating CoTPyP molecules.

<p><b>Vibronic coupling, the interaction between molecular vibrations and electronic states, is a pervasive effect that profoundly affects chemical processes. In the case of molecular magnetic materials, vibronic, or spin-phonon, coupling leads to magnetic relaxation, which equates to loss of magnetic memory and loss of phase coherence in molecular magnets and qubits, respectively. The study of vibronic coupling is challenging, and most experimental evidence is indirect. Here we employ far-infrared magnetospectroscopy to probe vibronic transitions in in [Yb(trensal)] (where H<sub>3</sub>trensal = 2,2,2-tris(salicylideneimino)trimethylamine). We find intense signals near electronic states, which we show arise due to an “envelope effect” in the vibronic coupling Hamiltonian, and we calculate the vibronic coupling fully <i>ab initio</i> to simulate the spectra. We subsequently show that vibronic coupling is strongest for vibrational modes that simultaneously distort the first coordination sphere and break the C<sub>3</sub> symmetry of the molecule. With this knowledge, vibrational modes could be identified and engineered to shift their energy towards or away from particular electronic states to alter their impact. Hence, these findings provide new insights towards developing general guidelines for the control of vibronic coupling in molecules.</b></p>

Sufficiently strong molecular magnets are used in small modern electronic and spintronic devices. Diradical organic magnetic molecules (OMMs) are promising options due to their lightness, flexibility, and low energy required...

Extending molecular systems into chain networks is a unique method with which to orient magnetic molecules into well-ordered arrays along one dimension, and study their resulting properties.

1. The gradual growth of the theory of molecular magnetism from the original suggestions of Poisson and Weber is well known. The recent great development, made by Ewing, and tested experimentally by means of models, has placed the theory on a fairly firm basis, and has made essentially secure the fundamental postulate that magnetic phenomena in material bodies are due to magnetic molecules which may possibly be regarded as free from any directional control other than that supplied by their own mutual action.
