Transition metal compounds exhibit unique magnetic properties due to the presence of unpaired d-electrons in their valence orbitals, leading to paramagnetism. These properties are influenced by the metal’s oxidation state, ligand interactions, and the geometry of the compounds. The interaction between metal centers can also result in cooperative magnetic behaviors like ferromagnetism or antiferromagnetism.

This collection features selected papers on the magnetic properties of transition metal compounds, all published in Magnetochemistry (ISSN: 2312-7481). We believe the following papers may be of interest to you:
