About Molecules
Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Aims
Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI).
Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
Scope
Subject areas include:
- compound preparation (synthesis, biosynthesis, extraction, etc.)
- structural elucidation (X-ray crystallography, NMR, etc.)
- chemical and biological activities
- applications as functional materials, additives, catalysts, etc.
- combinatorial synthesis and parallel synthesis
- engineering and robotics of multi-step synthesis
- applications of compound collections (such as high throughput screening) and combinatorial compound libraries
- molecular diversity assessments
- compound archives management
- compound database design and management

MDPI Publication Ethics Statement
Molecules is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). MDPI enforces a rigorous peer-review process that adopts strict ethical policies and standards to ensure that we contribute high-quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication. Unfortunately, cases of plagiarism, data falsification, inappropriate authorship credit, etc., occasionally arise. MDPI takes such publishing ethics issues very seriously and our editors are trained to proceed in such cases with a zero tolerance policy.
Book Reviews
Authors and publishers are encouraged to send review copies of their recent related books to Dr. Shu-Kun Lin, MDPI AG, Kandererstrasse 25, CH-4057 Basel, Switzerland. Received books will be listed first as "Books Received", then offered to the scholarly community for preparing reviews.
