We are pleased to announce a Journal of Materials Chemistry C themed issue ‘Materials for molecular electronics and magnetism’, honouring of Professor Jaume Veciana and Professor Concepció Rovira.
Guest edited by Fabio Biscarini (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia), Eugenio Coronado (University of Valencia), Anna Painelli (University of Parma) and Masahiro Yamashita (Tohoku University), this issue aims to illustrate the current relevance of functional molecular materials in electronics and magnetism. This covers from the chemical design and manipulation of novel molecular materials with unprecedented control over their properties, even at the single-molecule level, to the possibilities opened by exploiting the unique features of these molecular systems in emerging fields such as bioelectronics and molecular spintronics.
This issue is a tribute to Jaume Veciana and Concepció Rovira, from the Institut de Ciencia dels Materials de Barcelona (Spain), in occasion of their 70th birthdays. Their intense work as chemists and materials scientists has led to seminal contributions in diverse areas of molecular electronics and magnetism.
A small selection of articles from the issue is provided below, and you can read all of the articles from the issue online.
