Original Approaches and Advanced Techniques in Molecular Magnetism Research

Dear Colleagues,

Molecular magnetism encompasses all magnetic phenomena that originate at the molecular level. Given the practical importance of magnetism in today’s high-tech world and the miniaturization of building blocks in almost every technology, there is no doubt that molecular magnetism, currently an active area of science, will continue to be a hot topic with promising breakthrough applications in the future. Apart from its practical importance, it is fascinating and exciting to study the magnetic properties of matter at the molecular level. I am confident that you share this perspective.

This Special Issue aims to compile the latest developments and methodologies in the field of molecular magnetism. The main goal of this endeavor is to present innovative approaches and cutting-edge techniques employed by researchers to study magnetic phenomena at the molecular level. This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics, including the synthesis and characterization of magnetic molecules, theoretical modeling and simulations, advanced spectroscopic methods, and the applications of molecular magnets in various fields. The contributed articles will emphasize the importance of pushing the boundaries of knowledge in molecular magnetism by exploring novel concepts and using state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical techniques. I hope that this Special Issue will serve as a valuable platform for scientists, researchers, and students interested in advancing the field of molecular magnetism and its potential applications. Original Research, Communications, Reviews, Mini Reviews, and Perspective Articles dealing with original approaches and advanced techniques in molecular magnetism research are encouraged.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
