Project description
Studying the magneto-structural correlations in molecule-based magnets
Molecule-based magnets are a class of materials that can display ferromagnetism and other more complex magnetic phenomena. The EU-funded MaSCHiP project plans to examine how pressure affects different kinds of molecule-based magnets. These include single-ion magnets, single-molecule magnets, single-chain magnets and magnetic metal–organic frameworks. High pressure offers detailed insight into the correlations between the structure and magnetic properties of a molecule. The project will combine structural (X-ray crystallography) and magnetic characterisation techniques (magnetometry, electron paramagnetic resonance and inelastic neutron scattering) along with other spectroscopic techniques to study these correlations.
Objective
The aim of this project is to examine the effects of pressure on molecule-based magnets ranging from Single-Ion Magnets (SIMs) and Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs), to Single-Chain Magnets (SCMs) and Magnetic Metal-Organic Frameworks (MMOFs). The use of high-pressure offers the potential to provide detailed information concerning correlations between structure and magnetic properties within the same molecule. We aim to look for such magneto-structural correlations by combining structural (X-ray) and magnetic characterization techniques (Magnetometry, EPR, INS) in tandem with other spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV-Vis, Raman), all under pressure.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
