Hybrid magnetic/superconducting materials obtained by insertion of a single-molecule magnet into TaS2 layers

et al.A material in which superconducting and magnetic properties coexist is synthesized by the intercalation of single-molecule magnets into the layered structure of a group V metal dichalcogenide. A molecule-based/solid-state hybrid strategy is here employed, proving as a promising chemical approach for preparing new materials in which superconductivity coexists with different molecule-intrinsic functionalities.Financial support from the EU (MolSpinQIP) and the ERC (SPINMOL Advanced Grant to EC), the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (Project Consolider-Ingenio in Molecular Nanoscience and projects MAT2007-61584, MAT2009-13977-C03, and CTQ-2008-06720, co-financed by FEDER) and the Generalitat Valenciana (Prometeo Program) are gratefully acknowledged.
