There is an immense research interest in molecular hybrid materials posing novel magnetic properties for usage in spintronic devices and quantum technological applications. Although grafting magnetic molecules onto carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is nontrivial, there is a need to explore their single molecule magnetic (SMM) properties post-grafting to a greater degree. Here, we report a one-step chemical approach for lanthanide-EDTA (Ln = Gd, ; Tb, and Dy, ) chelate synthesis and their effective grafting onto MWCNT surfaces with high magnetic bistability retention.

Article Synopsis
  • * This study shows that the degree of functionalization of CNTs can be controlled to tune the magnetic properties of a hybrid complex made with a rare-earth-based molecular magnet (Gd-DTPA).
  • * By using various analytical techniques, researchers found that increasing the amount of Gd-DTPA attached to CNTs alters the intrinsic magnetic behavior of the nanotubes, suggesting potential for creating advanced spintronic materials.
