The hybrid magnetic heterostructures and superlattices, composed of organic and inorganic materials, have shown great potential for quantum computing and next-generation information technology. Organic materials generally possess designable structural motifs and versatile optical, electronic, and magnetic properties, but are too delicate for robust integration into solid-state devices. In contrast, inorganic systems provide robust solid-state interface and excellent electronic properties but with limited customization space. Combining these two systems and taking respective advantages to exploit exotic physical properties has been a promising research direction but with tremendous challenges. Herein, we review the material preparation methods and discuss the emerging physical properties discovered in such magnetic organic-inorganic hybrid systems (MOIHSs), including recent progress on designable magnetic property modification, exchange bias effect, and the interplay of ferromagnetism and superconductivity, which provide a promising material platform for emerging magnetic memory and spintronic device applications.
