Magnetic Coordination Compounds and More... a Long and Successful Story: A Tribute to M. Julve and F. Lloret

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that we inform you that Miguel passed away on Tuesday, July 9, 2024. This is an immense loss for his family as well as for all of us. Miguel, a distinguished faculty member of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Valencia, was loved and respected throughout the research community. Though we will all miss our great friend and colleague, we can take comfort in the fact that he went peacefully.

Requiescat in peace, Miguel

Carlos Gomez and Salah-Eddine Stiriba

As you may know, our friends and colleagues Prof. Miguel Julve and Prof. Francesc Lloret, from the Universidad de Valencia, will be retired (never completely, of course) this academic year 2023/24.

To pay tribute to their long and fruitful scientific careers, we have decided to edit a Special Issue (to appear also as a printed volume) in the journal Magnetochemistry entitled “Magnetic Coordination Compounds and more... a long and successful story: A Tribute to M. Julve and F. Lloret” and we would like to invite you to send a contribution in the form of reviews, mini-reviews, feature articles or original research article for this Special Issue.

Although you can send a contribution at your convenience, we propose an initial deadline of 1 November 2024, to have the Special Issue ready by the end of 2024, the year of their (partial) retirement.

If you are interested in sending a contribution, please send us a tentative title and the type of contribution you would like to submit for this Magnetochemistry Special Issue.

We count with your valuable contribution to pay tribute to the scientific and personal career of our friends Miguel and Paco.
