Editorial: Molecular Magnets Between magnetochemistry which was measuring magnetism of chemicals with the hope to discover their structures, to molecular magnetism which can be defined as a discipline which conceives, realizes, studies, and uses new molecular materials bearing new but predictable magnetic (and other) physical property, a few decades took place. Instead of going to the laboratory shelves to study the magnetic properties of already existing chemicals, chemists are now designing new (supra)molecular systems to get low density, transparent, biocompatible magnets, bistability, single molecule magnet behaviour, materials whose properties can be changed by temperature, pressure or light, or still molecular objects combining several physical functions (magnetism and conductivity, magnetism and optics ... ). This new field is blossoming in many countries, in North America, in Japan, and in Europe. Different European networks (including a Molecular Magnets programme of the European Science Foundation) were recently very active and produced major results. It is our pleasure to welcome in this volume some of the actors of this scientific saga, which is on the way to transform molecules in useful devices. Our volume opens by a brief and lively h
