Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Supramolecular chemistry, which investigates non-covalent interactions among molecules to create complex structures, has emerged as a pivotal and dynamic discipline with broad implications across various academic domains. It fosters the development, innovation, and integration of diverse basic and applied sciences, including chemistry, biomedicine, environmental, and materials. This interdisciplinary collaboration leads to practical applications in catalysis, energy storage, environmental remediation, nanotechnology, sensors, adsorption/separation, theranostics, and related fields. This Special Issue, "Advanced Applications of Supramolecular Chemistry", aims to showcase the latest advancements and innovative applications within this rapidly evolving field.
This Special Issue invites contributions that showcase cutting-edge research in supramolecular chemistry and its applications. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and communications demonstrating the synthesis, characterization, and utilization of supramolecular assemblies for addressing key challenges in various domains. Contributions to this issue cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Design and synthesis of supramolecular assemblies;
- Self-assembly processes and molecular recognition;
- Supramolecular materials for energy storage and conversion;
- Supramolecular sensors and biosensors;
- Supramolecular catalysts and catalytic systems;
- Supramolecular approaches to drug delivery and therapeutics;
- Responsive and adaptive supramolecular materials;
- Supramolecular architectures for electronic and photonic devices;
We encourage researchers from both academia and industry to contribute their latest findings to this Special Issue, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and advancing the frontier of supramolecular chemistry and its 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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
