Chiral, magnetic, molecule-based materials: A chemical path toward spintronics and quantum nanodevices

In this Perspective article, we briefly present the current state and discuss some future perspectives on hybrid molecular spintronics and smart molecular spintronics materials. We discuss the role of the chirality induced spin selectivity effect, where molecular chirality can be employed to manipulate spin states, potentially also including quantum coherent spin qubit states. We comment on some of the challenges and suggest future potential of magnetic biomolecules and chemical modification of 2D materials for these purposes.
