While Si-based CMOS still has some room for improvement, it is acknowledged that this technology will not continue longer than the next decade and that the development of new materials and new paradigms is becoming increasingly important. In this context, new functional materials based on assemblies of coordination nanoparticles are of particular interest. Nanoparticles that may be tuned by several stimuli such as light, temperature, pressure, electric or magnetic fields may be synthesized using coordination networks such as bimetallic cyanide-bridged compounds. During the past few years, we have demonstrated simple and efficient routes to tailored heterostructures based on these kinds of compounds leading to new magnetic properties. This communication will illustrate the potential of selected nano-objects and various routes towards their integration in low power spintronics devices will be discussed.
