Reviews

...a good primer for applications of molecular magnetism and is useful as general reading for scientists entering the field...a useful reference work... (Journal of the American Chemical Society, September 28, 2005) ...the book should find its place back-to-back with the previous volumes on the shelves of all those who work in the broad field of molecular magnetism and magnetic materials. (ChemPhysChem) This fifth volume, like its predecessors, is an important reference source for every research group working in the area of magnetism, and therefore it should be available in their libraries.
