The effective combination of chirality and magnetism in a single crystalline material can lead to fascinating cross-effects, such as magneto–chiral dichroism. Among a large variety of chiral ligands utilized in the design and synthesis of chiral magnetic materials, helicenes seem to be the most appealing ones, due to the exceptionally high specific rotation values that reach thousands of deg×cm3×g−1×dm−1, which is two orders of magnitude higher than for compounds with chiral carbon atoms. Despite the sizeable family of transition metal complexes with helicene-type ligands, there are only a few examples of such complexes with lanthanide ions. In this mini-review, we describe the most recent developments in the field of lanthanide-based complexes with helicene-type ligands and summarize insights regarding the further exploration of this family of compounds towards multifunctional chiral lanthanide single molecule magnets (Ln-SMMs).

Abstract The tetrahedral cobalt(II) complex [CoL2](HNEt3)2 (I), where L is 1,2-bis(methanesulfonamido)benzene, exhibiting the properties of a single-molecule magnet is synthesized and characterized. The electronic structure parameters of complex I are determined by paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy. They completely reproduce the results of less available methods of studying single-molecule magnets. The value of axial anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility estimated for complex I (Δχax = 34.5 × 10–32 m3 at 20°C) is record-breaking among all transition metal complexes studied by the NMR method, which provides wide possibilities for the use of complex I as a paramagnetic label for structural biology or as a contrast agent and even a temperature sensor for medical diagnostics. The data obtained indicate the advantages of paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy as a method of investigation of the magnetic properties and electronic structures of highly anisotropic transition metal complexes, which are precursors of many functional materials.

The single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are attracting the increasing interesting due to their potential applications in high density information storage, quantum computing, molecular spintronics, and magnetic refrigeration. This field provides scientists a possible access into the crossover of the classical and quantum world, and a wonderful model to study the fascinating magnetic properties between microscopic and macroscopic materials, such as slow magnetization relaxation and quantum tunneling effect. After the milestone discovery of the first single-molecule magnets (SMMs) Mn12ac, many new SMMs were structurally and magnetically characterized. The most studied systems are mainly traditional coordination compounds with polynuclear structures. However, for the difficulties in the control of magnetic anisotropy and exchange coupling interactions of the cluster-type molecules, Mn12ac molecule is still one of the most important SMMs with the high relaxation barrier. From 2011 [1-3], we explored an organometallic sandwich molecule, Cp*ErCOT(Cp* = pentamethylcyclopenta-dienide; COT = cyclooctatetraenide), which behaves as a single-ion magnets, into the field of molecular nanomagnets. It opened a door of SMMs to the chemists in organometallic chemistry. Recently, we found some new sandwich or half-sandwich lanthanide organometallic molecules could also show the slow relaxation of magnetization. We hope these systems can provide new understandings of slow magnetic relaxation and new clues on the design and synthesis of molecular nanomagnets.
