Abstract
The single molecule magnet which was investigated in this thesis is a metal-organic complex called bisphthalocyaninato terbium(III) (\(\mathrm {[TbPc_{2}}]^{-}\)). The magnetic moment of the molecule arises from a single terbium ion (Tb\(^{3+}\)), situated in the center of the molecule. It is eightfold coordinate to the nitrogen atoms of the two phthalocyanine (Pc) ligands, which are stacked below and above the terbium ion resulting an approximate \(C_4\) symmetry in the close environment of the Tb. The ligands are encapsulating the Tb\(^{3+}\) in order to preserve and tailor its magnetic properties. Its resemblance to the double-decker airplane of the 1920s is giving it its colloquial name—terbium double-decker.
