Abstract
In this chapter, we first give a clear definition for single-molecule toroic (SMT) on the basis of the toroidal magnetic moments of ground doublets present in triangular Dy3 SMMs, which is further exemplified via several typical Dy-based single-molecular magnets (SMMs) showing toroidal magnetic moments. Secondly, we examine the typical polynuclear lanthanide complexes showing SMM behavior, and three main synthetic strategies are given as follows: building block approach, organometallic approach, and multidentate ligand approach. The information extracted from such investigation is expected to enhance our understanding to SMM performances of polynuclear lanthanide complexes and facilitate their future applications.
