🧲 Very pleased that our latest paper "Lanthanide molecular nanomagnets as probabilistic bits" has been published, with @agaitaarino as IP.
Here we explore Lanthanide-based molecular nanomagnets as candidate probabilistic bits (p-bits), since in this context their stochastic behaviour constitutes a computational resource instead of a limitation.

Lanthanide molecular nanomagnets as probabilistic bits - npj Computational Materials

Over the decades, the spin dynamics of a large set of lanthanide complexes have been explored. Lanthanide-based molecular nanomagnets are bistable spin systems, generally conceptualised as classical bits, but many lanthanide complexes have also been presented as candidate quantum bits (qubits). Here, we offer a third alternative and model them as probabilistic bits (p-bits), where their stochastic behaviour constitutes a computational resource instead of a limitation. Employing an ad-hoc modelling tool for molecular spin p-bits and molecular nanomagnets, we simulate a minimal p-bit network under realistic conditions. Finally, we go back to a recently published dataset and screen the best lanthanide complexes for p-bit behaviour, lay out the performance of the different lanthanide ions and chemical families and offer some chemical design considerations.

The final Chemical Science Pick of the Week before Christmas is going back to the future (of organolanthanide chemistry)!

Nolwenn Mahieu, Jakub Piątkowski, Thomas Simler and Grégory Nocton (École polytechnique) cover the evolution of organolanthanide chemistry in their Perspective.

The paper is free to read, via Chemical Science's Diamond Open Access publication model:

Back to the future of organolanthanide chemistry

At the dawn of the development of structural organometallic chemistry, soon after the discovery of ferrocene, the description of the LnCp3 complexes, featuring large and mostly trivalent lanthanide ions, was rather original and sparked curiosity. Yet, the interest in these new architectures rapidly dwindled due to

🧲 Thrilled to announce the publication of our latest paper: "Data-driven design of molecular nanomagnets", where we analysed 1400 lanthanide-based Single Ion Magnets published from 2003 to 2019 to extract statistical and chemical design insights.

Data-driven design of molecular nanomagnets - Nature Communications

Three decades of research in molecular nanomagnets have enabled the preparation of compounds displaying magnetic memory at liquid nitrogen temperature. Here, the authors provide an innovative framework for the design of molecular magnets based on data mining, and develop an interactive dashboard to visualize the dataset.

Trying to do 15 reactions this afternoon. Next step: Measure our reagents into each and every one of these.

I would stream this, but since we got new grad students there are a few too many people around.
