52. Here we refer to the number of couples of i,j magnetic centers. This number can be further reduced by considering only adjacent magnetic centers. This is not usually a good choice, since experimentalists found that long-range interactions can significantly ameliorate the fitting of the magnetic data. Typical examples are linear, or almost linerar, trimers and tetramers in which the interactions between the extremes of the chains are usually included.
