Miller PARTICIPANTS .399 INDEX .401 PREFACE One of the major challenges of science in the last few years of the second millenniumislearninghow to design materials whichcanfulfill specifictasks. Ambitious as it may be, the possibilities ofsuccess are not ne~li~ble provided that all the different expertises merge to overcome the limits of eXIsting disciplines and forming new paradigms science. The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Magnetic Molecular Materials" wasorganizedwiththeaboveconsiderationsin mindinorder to determinewhich are the most appropriate synthetic strategies, experimental techniques of investigation, and theoretical models which are needed in order to develop new classes of magnetic materials whicharebasedonmolecules rather thanonmetallicorioniclattices. Why molecules? The answer may be obvious: molecular chemistry in principle fine can tune the structures and the properties of complex aggregates, and nature already provides a large number of molecular aggregates which can perform the most disparatefunctions. The contributions collected in this book provide a rather complete view of the current research accomplishments of magnetic molecular materials. There are several different synthetic approaches which are followed ranging from purely organic to inorganic materials. Some encouraging successes have already been achieved, even ifthe critical temperatures below which magnetic order is observed still are in the range requiringliquid helium. After two introductory chapters which explain the cooperative nature of ferromagnetism and summarize the possible synthetic strategies to assemble magnetic molecular materials, a first group of contributions outlines the synthetic strategies developed so far using organic building blocks. The second block is more specifically focused on approaches using organic radicals and metal ions, including also the theoretical models which areneededinorderto develop parallel arrangements ofspins in these materials. The third series of papers is mainly centered on specific physical techniques of investigation of the magnetic materials. However, due to the interdisciplinary approach which is needed in order to achieve some success with magnetic molecular materials, all the contributions are generally a balanced mixture of synthetic, theoretical, andphysicalaspects. The reports on the discussions in the round tables conclude the volume. They should be read with particular attention, because they summarize the results of many excitingdiscussions whichoccurred during the pleasant stayin lin Ciocco". It is certainly a pleasure to acknowledge the support of the Scientific Affair Division of NATO which made the workshop possible; the University of Florence and the Special Project on Advanced Materials of C.N.R. which generously cCHlponsorized theevent. Wedohopethat this bookwill represent astimulus for many more researchers to step into this novel field. We look forward to the next meeting on magnetic molecular materials to beheldinJapanin 1992.
