Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Applied to Paramagnetic Molecules

Dear Colleagues,

Paramagnetic subtances, rendered so by metal centers or chemical radicals, are found in natural materials ranging from biological molecules to soil and rock samples. In some cases, the presence of paramagnetic metal centers or radicals is important, enabling the material to perform a specific important task. In other cases, the extraction of paramagnetic impurities from the material of interest is very challenging, if not impossible. When paramagnetic molecules are studied via NMR, their spectra exhibit features (chemical shift and line width of the NMR signals) that differ dramatically from those generated by the diamagnetic version of the molecule. In recent decades, significant effort has been dedicated to collecting and analyzing the NMR spectra of paramagnetic molecules.

The aim of this Special Issue of Magnetochemistry is to collect papers describing research work that either interprets the NMR spectra of paramagnetic molecules or describes strategies and/or new methodologies that facilitate the analysis and collection of paramagnetic NMR data.

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.
