Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of magnetic materials is a perennial subject of interest, having undergone a vigorous expansion from classical bulk magnets such as metal oxides to molecular magnetic materials. In recent decades, molecular magnetic materials have attracted enormous attention due to their potential applications, such as information storage, information processing, molecular spintronics, etc.

Until now, concerted researcher efforts involving theoretical calculations, testing methods and synthesis, cornered the market in this field. This Special Issue intends to provide the latest updates and aid in the further development of molecular magnetic materials. We invite the authors to provide original research and review articles involving single-molecule magnets (SMMs), single-chain magnets (SCMs), magnetic MOFs, etc.

Dr. Xiaoqing Zhao

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.

Abstract
A study of the molecular magnetism of the hydrated salts [Ln(H2O)6Cl2]Cl (Ln = Gd (1Gd), Dy (1Dy), Er (1Er), Yb (1Yb)) and lanthanide chloride complexes with 2,2′;6′,2″-terpyridine (terpy) synthesized [...] Read more.
A study of the molecular magnetism of the hydrated salts [Ln(H2O)6Cl2]Cl (Ln = Gd (1Gd), Dy (1Dy), Er (1Er), Yb (1Yb)) and lanthanide chloride complexes with 2,2′;6′,2″-terpyridine (terpy) synthesized on their basis, [Ln(H2O)4(terpy)Cl]Cl2·3H2O (Ln = Gd (2Gd), Dy (2Dy), Er (2Er), and Yb (2Yb), was carried out. It was found that both the initial hydrated chlorides containing Dy, Er, Yb, and their derivatives with terpyridine exhibit the properties of single-molecule magnets. For the complexes with terpyridine, the values of the remagnetization barriers increase from Er to Dy, while for the aquachlorides, the corresponding values increase in the series Ueff (1Dy) < Ueff (1Er). It was found that magnetic relaxation in Yb complexes mostly proceeds according to the Raman mechanism. Full article

The bipartite entanglement of a quantum spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster in the presence of the external magnetic field is quantified through the negativity, which is calculated for spin pairs from a diagonal and a side of the diamond spin cluster taking into consideration two different coupling constants. The magnetic field may cause a few crossings of energy levels of the spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster, which is responsible at low enough temperatures for a stepwise dependence of the negativity on the magnetic field accompanied with a drop of the negativity at respective magnetic-field-driven transitions due to emergence of mixed states. It is shown that the bipartite entanglement between spin pairs on a diagonal and a side of the diamond spin cluster is concurrent although they may eventually become both nonzero albeit not fully saturated. It is predicted that the tetranuclear nickel complex [Ni4(μ-CO3)2(aetpy)8](ClO4)4 (aetpy = 2-aminoethyl-pyridine), which represents an experimental realization of the spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster with two different antiferromagnetic coupling constants, exhibits a substantial bipartite entanglement between two spin-1 Ni2+ magnetic ions from a shorter diagonal of the diamond spin cluster up to temperatures approximately about 50 K and up to magnetic fields about 70 T.

The first neutral 0D and 1D heterometallic assemblies based on orbitally degenerate heptacyanidorhenate(IV) were prepared and structurally characterized. An analysis of the magnetic data of polycrystalline samples showed that both compounds display slow magnetization relaxation at temperatures below 5 K. The very low temperature measurements of the magnetization on the single crystals demonstrate that for the 1D compound {[Mn(SB2+)Re(CN)7]·7H2O}n (1) and the 0D complex [Mn(SB2+)(H2O)Re(CN)7]·2H2O (2), the hysteresis loops open just below 2.2 and 1.8 K, respectively. Thus, heterometallic polymer 1 is the first single-chain magnet involving a pentagonal bipyramidal [ReIV(CN)7]3− synthon, and the binuclear complex 2 represents a single-molecule magnet. Full article
