Sumario:[Image: see text] This paper attempts to shed light on the origin of the magnetic behavior specific to trigonal bi- and pyramidal 3d(8) mono- and polynuclear nanomagnets. The focus lies on entirely unraveling the system’s intrinsic microscopic mechanisms and fundamental quantum mechanical relations governing the underlying electron dynamics. To this end, we develop a self-consistent approach to characterize, in great detail, all electron correlations and the ensuing fine structure of the energy spectra of a broad class of 3d(8) systems. The mathematical framework is based on the multiconfigurational self-consistent field method and is devised to account for prospective quantum mechanical constraints that may confine the electron orbital dynamics while preserving the properties of all measurable quantities. We successfully characterize the experimentally observed magnetic anisotropy properties of a slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal Ni(2+) coordination complex, demonstrating that such compounds do not exhibit intrinsic huge zero-field splitting and inherent giant magnetic anisotropy. We reproduce qualitatively and quantitatively the behavior of the low-field magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, low-, and high-field electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements and provide an in-depth analysis of the obtained results.
