Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetism as a manifestation of the electroweak interaction or electroweak force, one of the four known fundamental interactions of nature, has accompanied human civilization throughout the entire period of its development. It is noteworthy that studies of magnetic interactions at the molecular level have grown into an independent branch of knowledge. The future of molecular magnets seems to be promising since they have a potential application in the field of the design of devices for information storage and processing, drug delivery agents, switchable luminescent devices, chemical sensors and so on.

Proper design of interactions between magnetic centers in the molecule plays a crucial role in the construction of molecular magnetoactive compounds. First molecular magnets were synthesized simultaneously, later their design has become more and more rational. A possible way to control the magnetic interactions is by the construction of the ordered structures, such as clusters, coordination polymers and MOFs. Nowadays, there is a great variety of SMM compounds derived from d- and f-elements. SMM species that exhibit bistability are of special interest, since this could provide a switchability of magnetic properties driven by external forces.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
