Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of transition metal complexes with magnetic properties in the design of nanoscale based devices remains one of the most active research fields in Inorganic Chemistry, both from the experimental and theoretical points of view. As a matter of fact, the use of electronic structure based calculations to gain further insight into the origin of these properties has been crucial in the rational design of new molecules with tailored properties. Using computational tools, it is possible to underline the electronic structure origin of key parameters in magnetic systems such as anisotropy terms, exchange coupling constants or transition temperatures in Spin-Crossover systems. This type of calculations are crucial to understand both the origin and trends of such properties in these systems.
This Special Issue of Molecules, "Electronic Structure Calculations Applied to Magnetic Phenomena", highlights both recent developments and applications of electronic structure methods in the fields of Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) and Single Ion Magnets (SIMs), Spin-Crossover systems and magnetically ordered systems among others.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
