Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Porphyrin derivatives are versatile structures highly recognized for their capacity to distort from their planar geometry and to act as building blocks for a large variety of supramolecular architectures realized through noncovalent interactions. Moreover, functionalized porphyrins possess the desired chemical, optical, electronic and morphological properties that recommend them for use in the formulation of sensors and biosensors.
This Special Issue focuses on both bare porphyrins, heteroatom-containing porphyrin dimeric structures, porphyrin-based metal–organic frameworks and on other porphyrin-based materials designed to enhance the envisaged properties of porphyrins through synergistically added effects as a result of their interaction with other porphyrin molecules, noble metal nanoparticles or following their incorporation into polymers or organic or inorganic (zeolites or silica) matrices.
Greater consideration will be given to the obtainment and characterization of sensitive porphyrin-based materials and other macrocyclic compounds (crown ethers, calixarenes, cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils and cavitands) no matter if they belong to hybrid or composite materials, to the selection criteria of the best materials, construction details of sensors and biomedical nanodevice preparations and understanding types of interactions with analytes up to the establishment of detection mechanisms.
Due to their performance as amazing host compounds for the selective and sensitive detection of various chemical species, macrocyclic compounds are capable of forming coordination complexes with a large variety of metal ions, potential hazardous biomaterials, amino acids, neurotransmitters, vitamins, pharmaceuticals, relevant compounds for human health monitoring (amino acids, glucose, uric acid, iodide, peroxide species, antibodies, nucleic acids, DNA, peptides, etc.) and even gases.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to envisage the progress in biomedicine and monitor human health parameters by using macrocyclic compound derivatives as receptors or signaling molecules. The guest editors invite both original articles and reviews covering the field of chemical, electrochemical, optical and resistive sensor devices.

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. Chemosensors 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 2700 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.
