Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lanthanides are fascinating elements due to their specific electronic properties making them suitable candidates for the design of single-molecule/chain magnets, photoluminescent compounds or catalysts having a wide range of potential applications, such as high-density storage, quantum computing, OLEDs, time-resolved imaging, catalysis, etc. The coordination chemistry of lanthanide is central to obtaining the requested electronic properties and to reaching the targeted physical properties. Chemists, physicists, and theorists are working hand in hand to enhance the performances of lanthanide-based materials through the coordination chemistry of lanthanide. For example, coordination of organic chromophore is able to overcome the Laporte forbidden rules allowing the observation of efficient photoluminescence sensitization and exclusive axial coordination of strong Lewis basis ligands, leading to high blocking temperature in SMMs.
This Special Issue of Magnetochemistry aims at publishing a collection of research contributions highlighting the recent achievements in lanthanide coordination chemistry to favor specific ingredients such as crystal field splitting, magnetic anisotropy, etc. for the observation of photoluminescence, slow magnetic relaxation, MOFs, catalytic reaction, etc.

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.
