Gaining Insights into the Interplay between Optical and Magnetic Properties in Photoexcited Coordination Compounds

The Cover Feature depicts the interaction of laser light (here, a red laser) with single-molecule magnets (here, a Fe10Ln10 ring) which can show altered magnetic behaviour after photoexcitation (as suggested by the perpendicular magnetic field lines). Detection of such phenomena should be performed on different timescales with a multitechnique approach. This allows the relative contributions of interactions of electronic and magnetic states to be elucidated. More information can be found in the Research Article by J. Braun, A. K. Powell and A.-N. Unterreiner (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202400977).
