Magnetochemistry

Investigating the relationship between the magnetic properties and structure of molecules, molecular magnetochemistry, is an area of growing interest to scientists in a variety of fields, including physical, organic and inorganic chemistry, molecular physics, and biophysics. For the first time, systematic results on magnetic properties of molecules such as mean magnetic susceptibility, their anisotropies and principal magnetic axes are presented. Molecular Magnetochemistry is a comprehensive and up-to-date view on experimental methods not covered in previous volumes, including the Zeeman effect in vapor phase and magnetic birefringence of diamagnetic systems (Cotton-Mouton Effect). The relationship between magnetic and related electrical phenomena is also described, summing up experimental data on magnetic and electrical anisotropies and components of molecular quadrupole moments.

This is a book about things in magnetism that interest me. I think that these are important things which will interest a number of other chemists. The restriction is important, because it is difficult to write well about those things which are less familiar to an author. In general, the chemistry and physics of coordination compounds are what this book is about. Magnetochemistry is the study of the ground states of metal ions. When the ions are not interacting, then the study of single-ion phenomena is called paramagnetism. When the metal ions interact, then we are concerned with collective phenomena such as occur in long-range ordering. Several years ago, Hans van Duyneveldt and I published a book that explored these subjects in detail. Since that time, the field has grown tremendously, and there has been a need to bring the book up to date. Furthermore, I have felt that it would be useful to include more subsidiary material to make the work more useful as a textbook. This book is the result of those feelings of mine.

A comprehensive treatise on the subject of Magnetochemistry. This is an essential textbook for those studying the subject and anyone interested in the magnetic properties of chemical compounds. Sections include: Part I: Measurement and Susceptibility. Part II: Atomic Diamagnetism. Part III: Molecular Diamagnetism. Part IV: Atomic Paramagnetism. Part V: Molecular Paramagnetism. Part VI: Complex Compounds. Part VII: Metallic Dia- and Paramagnetism. Part VIII: Ferromagnetism. Part IX: Applied Magnetism Analysis

Over the past 25 years, there have been many advances in the understanding of magnetic phenomena in molecular systems. For example, a variety of low-dimensional materials, and many new ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and ferrimagnetic systems have been synthesized and analyzed; metal cluster compounds that exhibit magnetic exchange have been examined; new orbital overlap theories have been proposed to explain magneto-structural correlations in exchange coupled systems; and efforts directed toward the preparation of an organic ferromagnetic material have produced new and interesting compounds. There have also been many advances in the use of magnetism as a probe of inorganic biomolecules.This volume brings together reviews of current research in magnetochemistry that are written by the world's leading researchers in the fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, and magnetism. It contains comprehensive and in-depth reviews that describe some of the current activities of these scientists and their research and lays the foundation for future research endeavors.

Introduction to Magnetochemistry provides an introduction to the more important aspects of magnetochemistry. The measurement of magnetic moment has been one of the most consistently useful to coordination chemists. For teaching purposes it provides a simple method of illustrating the ideas of electronic structure, and in research it can provide fundamental information about the bonding and stereochemistry of complexes. The book contains six chapters covering topics such as free atoms and ions, transition metal complexes, crystal field theory, second and third row transition metal complexes, antiferromagnetism, and spin-pairing of electrons. The final chapter describes important experimental methods and then to shows briefly the way in which the problems of interpretation may be tackled.

Magnetochemistry is the study of the magnetic properties of materials which is of central importance in the study of transition-metal complexes, providing information on the chemical bonding in these molecules. This book provides an introductory survey of properties of chemical compounds.

Magnetochemistry is concerned with the study of magnetic properties in materials. It investigates the relationship between the magnetic properties of chemical compounds and their atomic and molecular structure. This rapidly growing field has a number of applications, and the measuring and interpreting of magnetic properties is often conducted by scientists who are not specialists in the field. Magnetochemistry requires complex mathematics and physics and so can be daunting for those who have not previously studied it in depth. Aimed at providing a single source of information on magnetochemistry, this book offers a comprehensive and contemporary review of the mathematical background and formula for predicting or fitting magnetic data, including a summary of the theory behind magnetochemistry to help understand the necessary calculations. Along with tables listing the key formula, there is also a model of the magnetic functions showing the effect of individual magnetic parameters. The clear structure and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of magnetochemistry will make this an essential book for advanced students and practitioners.
