Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Molecular magnetism is one of the most promising and dynamic fields in the area of molecule-based materials. The possibility of combining the electronic spin with a bunch of available properties (structural, optical, electrical) offers a wide chemical playground to attain new molecular devices by chemical design. Such multifunctional chemical systems have aroused interest for their applications at the interface between classical and quantum realms: molecular magnetic memory units for quantum information storage, quantum bits (QuBits) for quantum information processing, spin sensing and detection at the atomic level, and control of the spin currents at the single molecule level.

Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Single molecule magnets, mononuclear and polynuclear lanthanide, and transition metal complexes characterized by a large ground-state spin multiplicity and/or large magnetic anisotropy;
  • Magnetic bistable systems as a function of temperature, pressure, and light irradiation: spin cross-over (SCO) complexes and valence tautomers;
  • Molecular QuBits and QuDits. Molecular quantum-mechanical system characterized by two or more states that can be placed in a state of coherent superposition;
  • Hybrid materials: magnetic molecules on surface and 2D materials, molecular devices, molecular spintronics, and magnetic metal–organic frameworks.

For this Special Issue, we aim to collect experimental and theoretical research as well as review contributions of recent advances in all fields of molecular magnetism to provide a broad perspective on bistable systems and their applications. Contributions in all the above-mentioned areas are welcome in order to allow your research to direct future trends in this exciting field.

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 2700 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.

The present article is a short overview of the theoretical modeling of spin transitions in polymetallic compounds. As distinguished from many insightful reviews on this topic, the present work is focused on the nature of cooperative interaction of the metal clusters in molecular crystals with emphasis at the physical role of molecular vibrations and phonons. The underlying model assumes that the cooperativity is triggered by phonons while the metal centers are coupled to molecular vibrations. It is demonstrated that the suggested model gives a satisfactory description of the observed spin transitions in mono-, bi- and tetranuclear compounds. In the framework of the described approach, we discuss the experimental data on spin crossover in the mononuclear [Fe(ptz)6](BF4)2, binuclear [{Fe(bt)(NCS)2}2bpym] and tetranuclear [Fe(tpa){N(CN)2}]4·(BF4)4·(H2O)2 compounds containing iron ions. The approach is also applied to the description of the charge-transfer-induced spin transition in the [{(Tp)Fe(CN)3}{Co-(PY5Me2)}](CF3SO3) complex. Full article

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is particularly sensitive to the electronic structure of matter and is thus a powerful tool to characterize in-depth the magnetic properties of a system. NMR is indeed increasingly recognized as an ideal tool to add precious structural information for the development of Single Ion Magnets, small complexes that are recently gaining much popularity due to their quantum computing and spintronics applications. In this review, we recall the theoretical principles of paramagnetic NMR, with particular attention to lanthanoids, and we give an overview of the recent advances in this field. Full article
