The field of molecular based magnetism is an active area of research directed toward the design of new magnetic materials. The idea is to introduce molecular strategies in magneto‐chemistry. This can open completely new synthetic routes to materials with previously unknown physical properties. Spin carriers used within this approach range from purely organic radicals to metal complexes and organometallic compounds. The design of new magnetic materials with tailor‐made properties requires a detailed knowledge about the interactions between possible spin carriers and the strategies necessary to achieve interactions in all three dimensions. The latter is closely related to the field of crystal engineering. Starting from introductory remarks to magnetochemistry the underlaying concepts for the design of magnetic materials on the basis of molecular compounds as well as new developments and possible applications are described.
