n this contribution, it will be described about some
examples of molecule-based magnets involving flexible
and rigid organic ligands based on oxamate groups. Flexible
organic ligands can be understood as entities that can change
their chemical conformations such as syn and anti- forms
depending on external stimuli such as pH variation, for
instance; rigid ligands are not capable to change their chemical
conformations by an external stimulus. To illustrate this, it
will be presented about some compounds based on H

’-1,2-phenylenebis (oxamic acid)) ligands. These
ligands were used on the synthesis of the molecule-based
magnets. The relation between (metallo) supramolecular
structures and magnetic properties will be presented as well
as other interesting properties such as catalytic activity for
decomposition of organic pollutants.
