Counteranions reshape molecular packing to tune magnetism in copper complexes
Magnetic properties in molecular materials depend not only on the molecular components themselves but also on their solid-state organization.
AI Summary
Researchers report that counteranions can alter the solid‑state packing of charged π‑electronic molecules, thereby adjusting their magnetic behavior. They note that electrostatic and dispersion forces drive the formation of distinct ion‑pairing structures, which in turn influence the material’s magnetic properties.
