Two hot topics in this area are highlighted namely the design of new multifunctional magnetic materials, and the study of mononuclear single-molecule magnets. In the first topic I will present the attempts to design materials exhibiting coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism using a chemical approach [1]. In the second topic I will show that single-molecule magnets based on lanthanides provides the opportunity to tune quantum tunneling effects and to use these systems as qubits in quantum computing [2]. Finally, I will highlight the relevance of these magnetic systems in molecular spintronics.\\[4pt] [1] E. Coronado, C. Mart\'i-Gastaldo, E. Navarro-Moratalla, A. Ribera, S. J. Blundell, P. J.
