Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the recent past, great efforts have been made to develop various strategies for the construction of new single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with high energy barriers and blocking temperatures. These great endeavors result in great and fast development of molecular nanomagnets. In particular, one of the most successful strategies is to design and synthesize SMMs with one metal center (known as single-ion magnets, SIMs). To date, a myriad of SIMs based on transition metal ions, lanthanide ions, and actinide ions have been reported. Some of them exhibit outstanding SMM behaviors, especially the Ln-SMMs. However, this field is still full of challenges, such as the lack of clarity with respect to the relationship between blocking temperatures and relaxation mechanisms, how to rationally design stable high-performance SIMs, etc. The Special Issue “Single-Ion Magnets: Design and Syntheses” proposed here aims to publish new results and perspectives from both synthetic and theoretical chemists to promote the development of SIMs.

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.
