Abstract

Magnetic endohedral metallofullerenes represent a new family of single-molecule magnets with a spherical form and solid framework. In this manuscript, we illustrate the controllable quantum tunneling of magnetism for metallofullerene DySc₂N@C₈₀ by means of molecule encapsulation in a porous metal-organic framework (MOF-177) with strong host-guest interactions.
