Nature Chemistry, Published online: 21 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02160-3The combination of magnetism and chirality enables magnetochiral and magnetoelectric coupling for non-magnetic control of magnetic states; however, achieving suitable homochiral vortex-like architectures at the molecular level is challenging. Now, homochiral self-assembled Dy3 triangles supported by enantiopure chiral ligands exhibiting magnetic moments arranged in a vortex-like closed loop have been synthesized.

A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.

We report the synthesis and magneto-structural characterization of a dimeric Er-based single-molecule magnet (Er2) containing two [6]helicene-1,2-diol dianions as bridging ligands. Diamagnetic dilutio...

In minerals and inorganic compounds, strong hydrogen bonding can lead to the formation of complex ionic species such as the H3O2– bihydroxide anion and Zundel cation H5O2+. We studied [NaCu2(SO4)2·H3O...

Supramolecular one-dimensional arrays of radical-metal coordination complexes (Ni & Co) exhibit magnetic properties strongly influenced by the anisotropy of the spin carrier. Close contacts between r...
