Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Organic Radicals: Synthesis, Properties and Applications” will highlight recent advances in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of organic radicals, spanning both persistent and stable systems. Organic radicals continue to be versatile building blocks for molecular magnetism, enabled by modern synthetic strategies and the ability to precisely tune spin delocalization, redox behavior, and intermolecular interactions. This Special Issue welcomes contributions reporting new radical scaffolds and functionalization approaches, as well as thorough characterization in solution and the solid state. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) electrochemistry; spectroscopic methods such as EPR, DNP-NMR, and luminescence; crystallography and structure–property relationships; computational studies that rationalize electronic structure and magnetic exchange; and magnetic behavior in crystals, thin films, and on surfaces (e.g., spin coupling, ordering, and dynamics). Manuscripts describing applications are strongly encouraged, including those addressing radical-based devices and materials relevant to spintronics, molecular electronics, sensing, and other magnetochemistry-enabled technologies. Both original research articles and authoritative reviews/perspectives are welcome.
Dr. Christos P. Constantinides

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
