Molecular Magnets Based on Charge Transfer Complexes

Abstract
We investigated two classes of organic charge transfer complexes in the TTF family and related materials, in order to aim at the development of novel magnetic systems. The first one is the complexes with transition metal d-electrons having localized magnetic moments, where the π-electrons in organic donors play an important role in the exchange interaction mechanism between the localized magnetic moments of d-electrons. The second class is obtained on the basis of the localized magnetic moments of π-electrons, where the on-site Coulomb interaction in organic donors overwhelms the transfer integral.
