Spin-orbit coupling underlies a plethora of intriguing physical phenomena, ranging from permanent magnetism to topologically non-trivial behavior. Spin-orbit coupling scales with atomic number. Using heavy elements to modify spin-orbit coupling enables us to isolate the impact of spin-orbit coupling from the impact of ligand field. We are focused on interacting spin bearing elements such as first row transition metals with heavy main group elements such as bismuth and lead. Results on solid-state binary compounds as well as molecular species will be presented.
