Short summary: Spintronics currently attracts much attention as a next generation of electronics, which utilizes both charge and spin, two freedom of an electron. Several devices based on spintronics have been fabricated using metal and inorganic materials with metallic or semiconducting conducting as well as ferromagnetic properties. Molecular-based spintronics is also possible, if organic ferromagnetic metals and semiconductors could be acquired. Our approach to the synthesis of such magnetic molecular conductors is presented.
