Heavy atom radicals as conductive and magnetic materials

The construction of molecules with complex structures is a central theme of chemical research. In the last two decades synthetic chemists have carried this concept of molecular design into an entirely new realm. They have focussed their attention on the ultimate structural challenge - the crystallization of discrete molecular systems with predetermined packing patterns, i.e., the control of solid state architecture at the sub-nanoscale level. The objectives of controlled crystal growth vary widely, but share a common theme, namely the need to arrange molecules so that the resulting supramolecular assembly has the desired structure, stability and property. Securing any one of these three objectives represents a challenge in its own right, but success is only truly achieved when all three goals are accomplished at the same time.
