Abstract
English
The present work aims to investigate mono-metallic cobalt and dysprosium complexes containing the S-N motive and put their potential as competitive single-molecule magnets (SMMs) into perspective. To this purpose, experimental and computational methods are combined to study the best structural conditions that give optimal magnetic properties. The magneto-structural correlations unveiled in this work should help steer further studies towards better performing SMMs.
