Linking magnetic molecules to themselves, to others and to surfaces — •Richard Winpenny — University of Manchester, United Kingdom

We are learning how to link together polymetallic compounds to give complex structures [1]. During this presentation recent work will be discussed in two distinct approaches. Firstly, we will describe recent work creating new hybrid inorganic-organic rotaxanes [2] and in the second approach we will discuss functionalising polymetallic rings so that they can act as ligands for other metal complexes and surfaces [3,4]. We will also describe the use of pulsed EPR spectroscopy to measure weak interactions between these molecular magnets.
