Abstract. The discovery of organic- and molecule-based
magnets has
led to design and synthesis of
several families with
magnetic ordering temperatures as
high as
$\sim$125$^{\circ}$C. Examples of soft and hard magnets
with coercivities
as high as 27 kOe have also been
reported. Examples from our laboratory of organic-based
magnets using the tetracyanoethylene
radical anion,
[TCNE]$^{\bullet -}$, are
discussed. In addition, several
molecule-based magnets based on
Prussian Blue structured materials
as well as dicyanamide
are discussed.
Keywords. Magnetism; magnet; hysteresis; organic magnet.
