Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spectroscopy continues to be a powerful tool in molecular sciences, providing valuable information regarding the structure, dynamics, interactions, and functions of molecules. Recent advancements in instrumentation, increased sensitivity, high resolution, and integration of multiple spectroscopic techniques make it possible to investigate molecular phenomena in a variety of applications with high accuracy.
This Special Issue seeks to bring original research and high-quality reviews on the latest applications and innovations of spectroscopic techniques relevant to molecular sciences. We welcome contributions that highlight how spectroscopy advances the understanding of chemical, biological, pharmaceutical, and materials systems—from small molecules to macromolecular complexes.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Structural elucidation using UV-Vis, fluorescence, IR, Raman, THz, NMR, XPS, and MS;
- Time-resolved and ultrafast spectroscopy techniques applications in chemistry, biophysics, and pharmaceutics;
- Spectroscopic studies of molecular recognition, binding, and conformational change;
- Spectroscopic approaches for revealing the photophysical properties of drug delivery systems;
- Spectroscopy in reaction monitoring, catalysis, electrochemistry, and materials research;
- Coupled spectroscopic and computational methods;
- AI-enhanced spectroscopic data analysis.
This Special Issue aims to support researchers looking to utilize modern spectroscopic tools in both fundamental and applied studies.

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.
