Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues

Magnetochemistry, the open access journal launched to publish research in all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Launched in 2015, Magnetochemistry has published more than 1000 articles covering all aspects in the field including magnetic materials (from molecules to metal–organic frameworks), magnetic properties (from single-molecule/ion/chain magnets to spin-crossover and magnetic ordering), theoretical models and all kind of applications (from magnetocaloric materials to magnetic recording and magnetic resonances). All these contributions have placed Magnetochemistry among the top journals covering the field (you can see the statistics of the journal at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/magnetochemistry/stats).

To celebrate its success and its 10th anniversary and, especially, to thank the enthusiastic and continuous support of so many readers, authors, reviewers and editors from the very beginning, we wish to launch a Special Issue entitled ‘10th Anniversary of Magnetochemistry: Past, Present and Future’. Researchers in any field of magnetochemistry are invited to contribute to this Special Issue with either reviews of the hottest topics in the field, featured articles with current and future challenges in the field or with original contributions. We intend to cover all the fields and to include critical reviews and feature articles to present the state of the art and the future of the magnetochemistry 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 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-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.

Abstract
Two diruthenium(II,II) naphthyridine complexes coordinated with 4-trifluoromethylbenzoate (O2CPh-4-CF3) and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (O2CPh-3,5-diCF3) ligands, formulated as [Ru2(npc)2(O2CPh-4-CF3)2] (4; npc = 1,8-naphthyridine-2-carboxylate) and [Ru2(npc) [...] Read more.
Two diruthenium(II,II) naphthyridine complexes coordinated with 4-trifluoromethylbenzoate (O2CPh-4-CF3) and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (O2CPh-3,5-diCF3) ligands, formulated as [Ru2(npc)2(O2CPh-4-CF3)2] (4; npc = 1,8-naphthyridine-2-carboxylate) and [Ru2(npc)2(O2CPh-3,5-diCF3)2] (5), respectively, were synthesized and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that both 4 and 5 form a direct metal–metal bond between the two Ru ions (2.2893(8) and 2.2896(7) Å, respectively) and adopt a paddlewheel-type structure in which two npc and two trifluoromethyl-substituted benzoate ligands are coordinated to a Ru24+ core with a cis-2:2 arrangement. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility measurements of 4 and 5 exhibited very large zero-field splitting (D = 242 and 246 cm−1, respectively) of the triplet ground state of the Ru24+ core, similar to that of [Ru2(npc)2(O2CPh)2] (3; D = 238 cm−1). Owing to the effects of the trifluoromethyl substituents, compared with 3, 4 and 5 showed (i) a significant blue shift of the absorption bands in the visible region and (ii) a positive shift of the redox potentials, with both shifts becoming more pronounced as the number of trifluoromethyl substituents increased. These experimental results are in good agreement with the electronic structure results obtained from density functional theory calculations. Full article
