Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electron-electron interactions primarily determine the material system, while the coupling between different degrees of freedom—charge, spin, and orbital—further governs its microscopic details, thereby giving rise to a range of magnetic phenomena. Among the various material systems, transition metal compounds, characterized by their unique d-electron behavior, serve as a paradigmatic platform for studying strong correlation effects. This has led to groundbreaking discoveries such as high-temperature superconductivity, giant magnetoresistance, and the quantum Hall effect, as well as recent advances in spin chemistry. By harnessing these physical effects, transition metal compounds could be employed in technological applications such as high-temperature superconducting magnets, spintronic devices, and electrochemical catalysts, promoting innovation in information and energy technology.
This Special Issue of Magnetochemistry aims to publish research that presents recent achievements related to the development, study and understanding of the structure, magnetism, and applications of transition metal compounds.

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 2200 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.
