Molecular Magnetism

This highly regarded and historic book represents the first comprehensive discussion of both theoretical and experimental aspects of molecular magnetism research. It covers basic concepts of magnetisation and magnetic susceptibility, establishes the fundamental equations of molecular magnetism, and examines molecules containing a unique magnetic center. The treatment is suitable for graduate students and professionals in inorganic, theoretical, physical, and bioinorganic chemistry; materials science and molecular electronics; and physics and biophysics. This newly updated edition features contributions from the author’s colleagues, including Dr. Michel Verdaguer. AUTHOR: French chemist Olivier Kahn (1942 99) received his PhD from the National Chemical Engineering Institute in Paris (ENSCP) for his work on metal-organic compounds. He was Professor at the University of Paris-Sud from 1976 95 and at the University of Bordeaux from 1995 99.
