Acknowledgments
This book can be considered to a large extent as a product of sharing knowledge in
the so-called Jujols community over the past 25 years. Without the continual
interactions during conferences, visits and intense collaborations on many aspects
of the theoretical description of magnetic phenomena in molecules and solids, this
book would never have reached the degree of completeness and clarity that we hope
to have reached. Special thanks are due to Jean-Paul Malrieu, Nathalie Guihéry,
Carmen Calzado, Rosa Caballol, Rémi Maurice, Celestino Angeli, Nicolas Ferré,
Eliseo Ruiz, Joan Cano, Remco Havenith, Alex Domingo and Gerjan Lof for
inspiration, clarifications, resolving doubts, affirmations, corrections, proofreading,
etc., during the process of writing the book. We are grateful to the late Olivier
Kahn, for sharing his broad and deep knowledge with us, in person, but also
through the great legacy of his book on molecular magnetism.
