Abstract

Published data on the electronic structures and magnetic behavior of the mononuclear cobalt and iron o-benzoquinone complexes with tetradentate nitrogen-containing bases are reviewed. The chosen objects are of significant interest due to their ability to manifest magnetic bistability, indicating wide prospects of the practical use of compounds of this class in molecular electronics and spintronics. The influence of structural features of the complexes on their magnetic properties is discussed on the basis of the quantum-chemical calculation results.
