Project details
The magnetic properties of inorganic complexes are closely related to their molecular structures. This holds true for
small dimeric systems and for large single-molecule magnets. My project aims to improve our understanding of these
correlations by combining structural (X-ray) and magnetic characterization techniques with High-Frequency Electron
Paramagnetic Resonance (HFEPR), all under pressure. In particular focussing on magnetically interesting Cu,Mn, Ni,
Fe monomers, dimers and single-molecule magnets.
