Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the most spectacular phenomena in chemistry is spin crossover (SC), when a molecule undergoes a change in spin state from a low spin (LS) to high spin (HS). This change is affected by fluctuations in temperature, pressure and the presence of small guest molecules. Although this has been observed for first-row d4 –d7 transition-metal ions, the majority of reported systems involve iron(II) and iron(III). SC has been studied in regard to magnetic susceptibility and structural, theoretical, spectroscopic (IR, NMR, UV-vis, ESR, Mossbauer) and structural aspects. Of particular importance are complexes that exhibit SC near room temperature with hysteresis. Such systems are ideal candidates for molecular switches, memory storage devices, medical imaging and other material applications. We welcome contributions presenting novel SC ligand systems, polynuclear SC complexes, applications of new theoretical and spectroscopic methods to the study of SC systems and new developments in potential applications.

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.
