Abstract
The review considers the theoretical foundations and some recent results of investigations of the specific class of magnetically active materials: molecular magnets (single-molecule magnets) and molecular magnets with the linear chain structure (single-chain magnets). Possibilities and promising approaches to controlling their magnetic properties are analyzed.
