The phenomenon of single ion magnetism in Ln3+ coordination compounds and the principles of their rational design are considered. The influence of electronic and chemical structure, as well as the symmetry of the coordination sphere on the value of the energy barrier of magnetic anisotropy, is highlighted. Based on the analysis of the available data in the literature, it is concluded that further efforts in the design of single ion magnets should focus on the development of coordination compounds Dy3 + and Tb3 + with high axiality, in which the strength of the bond between central metal ion and ligands in the apical position far exceeds the appropriate values for ligands in the equatorial plane.
