Thin organic films with interesting magnetic properties such as the magnetic memory effect have been achieved using the Langmuir–Blodgett technique. Results are summarized in this report whereby polyoxometalate anions containing magnetically active transition metals have been incorporated as layers of discrete clusters (see Figure) between monolayers of behenic acid.
