A large amount of contemporary research by both chemists and physicists is focused on exploiting the spin of electrons with the attempt of revolutionising the current technology with a new era of “spintronic” materials. Molecular nanomagnets represent a significant part of this research, and the neutron is a key tool to understand these materials so that new ones can be tailored for application. Our group has built up a good understanding of the physics of [Cr8F8(OOCtBu)16] nanomagnets and related structures. We have recently synthesised a similar nanomagnet, this time [V7M(OOCtBu)16] M=Zn, Ni. Measurements using other techniques suggest its magnetism maybe somewhat unusual and through the use of neutrons we will be able to explore this in much more detail than before.
