We propose and theoretically investigate new ways of producing, controlling, and manipulating ultracold complex molecules including both diatomics in non-trivial electronic states and polyatomic molecules. We investigate the formation of highly magnetic and polar molecules containing open-shell complex atoms such as lanthanides and we will propose new schemes of both sequential formation of polyatomic molecule from ultracold atoms using atom-by-atom ensembling as well as association of three or four atoms, and their subsequent stabilization using optical transitions and coherent control. We provide new hybrid formation schemes combining few-body effects, impact of static magnetic and electric fields, optical and microwave transitions optimally engineered in time and frequency domains all together for efficient production of complex molecules for new ultracold experiments exploiting features emerging from conical intersections, geometric phase, and non-trivial geometries.
