Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the beginning of the 1990s, with the introduction of organic ligands between magnetic cations, magnetochemistry has seen significant development. This molecular “do it yourself kit’’ has allowed us to synthetize new ferrimagnets (initially considered by Néel to be exclusive antiferromagnets). As a result, through the full control of their microscopic magnetic properties, it is now possible to impose the ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic character of exchange energy, the magnitude of the magnetic moment per site, the dimensionality of spin lattices (1d, 2d or 3d), transport properties, notably in the field of molecular electronics and magnetic semiconductors, but also the hysteresis phenomenon important for industrial applications. Simultaneously, new theoretical modeling challenges have emerged.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Magnetochemistry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
