Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main place in the world of interactions is occupied by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. This is perfectly understandable because, having a moderate strength, they act as a glue that binds molecules into dimers or larger molecular aggregates, while allowing dynamic modifications, i.e., breaking and possibly creating other bonds. It seems that intramolecular hydrogen bonds are described somewhat less frequently. The reason may be a problem with the direct detection of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which forces the use of some indirect methods, either experimental or theoretical, which in turn requires finding a reliable reference system. Often, finding such a reference system is not a trivial matter, even in planar molecules.
This Special Issue is mainly devoted to direct and indirect, both experimental and theoretical, methods of detecting intramolecular hydrogen bonding in various molecules, from simple, just a dozen atomic ones, to complex ones of biochemical importance. The articles are expected to describe the importance of the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, e.g., on the preference and stabilization of a specific conformer, the effect on the global or local geometry of a molecule, its physicochemical properties, and biological functionality. Review papers on various aspects of intramolecular hydrogen bonding are particularly encouraged.

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. Chemistry 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 1800 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.
