Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ionic liquids (ILs) have in the last ten to 15 years attracted an ever growing interest and the number of articles on the subject now easily exceeds 10'000 publications. Many topics such as organic synthesis, catalysis, separation, electrochemistry, and ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) are now well established. Metal containing ILs (M-ILs), in contrast, have so far largely been overlooked and there are only relatively few articles on the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of metal-containing ILs and ILCs. Recently however, research on the subject has gained some momentum because it has been realized that M-ILs are attractive for a number of applications including catalysis, optical devices, electrochemical and sensing problems, and magnetic components. The current special issue will highlight some of the most recent research on the synthesis, structure, and properties of M-ILs and provide a an overview of the state of the art of M-IL research, development, and application.

Submission

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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences 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 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
