Abstract
We present a perspective of the status of molecular magnetism and highlight its potentiality in the study of complex systems. The trend in MM during the last few years has been initially from simple to complex behaviour, followed by a change of direction, giving more attention to simpler systems: from 3D to 0D, 1D, 2D systems. However structural simplicity does not necessarily imply a simplification of the properties. Moreover this trend allowed better understanding the properties of isolated constituent units. Analysis indicates that this field of chemical and physical sciences will continue to develop.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
