Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on advancing the understanding of chemical complexes through thermodynamic and spectral analysis. Chemical complexes, central to fields such as coordination chemistry, materials science, and biochemistry, exhibit diverse structural, electronic, and functional properties.
The aim of this issue is to explore how thermodynamic parameters and spectroscopic techniques can unravel the underlying mechanisms governing their formation, stability, reactivity, and applications.
The issue welcomes contributions in areas including but not limited to calorimetric studies, equilibrium and stability constants, reaction energetics, and structure-property relationships. Spectral analyses employing UV-Vis, IR, NMR, EPR, and other spectroscopic techniques are also central to the theme, especially when used in conjunction with computational modeling or advanced experimental approaches.
We invite submissions of original research articles, reviews, and short communications that address theoretical insights, experimental methodologies, or applications in areas such as catalysis, environmental chemistry, drug design, and advanced materials. Studies combining thermodynamics with spectroscopic techniques to elucidate complex phenomena are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for innovative approaches and interdisciplinary collaborations, contributing to the growing body of knowledge on the behavior and utility of chemical complexes.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
