Organometallic-based materials exhibiting the technologically important cooperative property of ferromagnetism have been sought and studied. Several molecule-based magnets based on organometallic complexes exhibiting specific structures have been prepared. These magnets are based on electron-transfer salts containing decamethylferrocenium (and its Mn and Cr analogs) and tetracyanoethylene, TCNE, or 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane, TCNQ, and more recently from the reaction of V(C{sub 6}H{sub 6}){sub 2} and TCNE. The latter is a polymeric magnet which has been characterized to have a critical temperature, T{sub c}, above 350 K. The chemistry and physical properties, with emphasis on the structure-function relationship, for this class of materials will be discussed.
