Abstract
Single-chain magnets (SCMs) which exhibit magnetic bistable state and slow magnetic relaxation have attracted much attention in chemistry, physics, and materials science fields. Although various single-chain magnets have been designed and prepared, it is a challenge to introduce spin-crossover units or metal-to-metal charge transfer units into molecular nanomagnets to switch the bistable state of the nanomagnets by external stimuli. The progress, structure and magnetic properties of light-induced single-chain magnets are briefly reviewed in this article.
