Magnetic Polymers

Abstract

Technologically important magnetic properties, especially ferromagnetism, are associated with metallic and inorganic materials based on elements with partially filled d ‐ and f ‐shells. In the past 15 years, the realm of magnetic materials has been expanded to organometallics, organic molecular solids, and most recently, organic polymers. This article reviews recent advances in the area of organic polymers with magnetic properties, including recent discovery of magnetic ordering in a conjugated organic polymer.
