Electron Density Studies on Cobalt Single-Molecule Magnets
In 2021 Stalke et al. analysed several tetrahedral distorted Co2+ complexes and predicted that a bite angle between 76-78° maximises the magnetic anisotropy, as it minimises the energy gap between the dxy and dx2-y2 orbital. The closer the orbitals are in energy, the larger is the magnetic anisotropy

Refining Anomalous Dispersion Parameters to reflect actual “oxidation states” in gold(I) compounds
The determination of the actual charge distribution around atoms remains a central challenge in modern quantum crystallography.
