Counteranions reshape molecular packing to tune magnetism in copper complexes
Key Points
Magnetic properties in molecular materials depend not only on the molecular components themselves but also on their solid-state organization. In charged π-electronic systems, electrostatic and dispersion forces can organize molecules into distinct ion-pairing structures.
