Similar to single-molecular magnets (SMMs), single-molecule toroics (SMTs) are defined as molecules with toroidal magnetic bi-stability. This type of compounds is characterized by the "vortex" spatial distribution of the weakly coupled magnetic moments, resulting in zero total magnetic momentum, but a non-vanishing toroidal magnetic moment. SMTs offer broad application prospects in quantum computing and information storage, and can also be used as a multiferroic materials with magneto-electric coupling effect. Great effort has been paid in the synthesis of SMTs since the first observation of the SMT behavior of typical [Dy₃] molecules, and researchers are committed to the investigation of SMTs with enhanced molecular toroidal magnetization. In this review, several representative examples with SMT behavior will be addressed to provide a down to date overview of the burgeoning SMT complexes reported in recent years. Accordingly, we aim to illuminate the factors governing the arrangement of toroidal magnetic moments and the synthetic strategy on designing SMTs, and ultimately enlighten the study of SMTs with enhanced toroidal magnetization.
