Abstract
We present a review of the experimental state of the art of molecular spintronics, as obtained with molecular magnetic materials. After a brief introduction about the fundamental concepts in the field, we consider experiments performed with all the approaches attempted up to date. We eventually provide a brief discussion of the future directions and the considerable challenges that remain unexplored in the field and of the possible evolutions of this quickly developing area of research.
