Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic anisotropy is central to the characteristics of magnetic materials. Over the past 15 years or so, it has been the driving force behind work in the field of molecular magnetism. The combined efforts of chemists, physicists, and theorists now enable us to manipulate it deliberately through coordination chemistry, and this control has led to dazzling progress in the performance of nanomagnets, SMM, and SCM. Traditional magnets are not to be outdone, whether they are molecular materials or inorganic nanoparticles.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the latest knowledge, approaches, and developments related to magnetic anisotropy, and the resulting materials and properties. The idea is to provide a newcomer to the field with easy access to the various facets of this property, both from a theoretical and experimental point of view. To this end, we are seeking tutorials and research papers on magnetic anisotropy in coordination compounds and the materials derived from them: SIM, SMM, SCM, nanoparticles, traditional magnets, 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.
