Molecular Applications of Technologies and Techniques for the Extraction of Simple Molecules and Compounds

Dear Colleagues,

Extraction technologies play a crucial role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, cosmetics, environmental science, etc. These technologies are utilized to isolate specific molecules from complex mixtures for further analysis, purification or commercialization.

Sample preparation is a critical step in analytical chemistry, especially when dealing with trace analytes. Various extractive isolation techniques have gained popularity due to their ability to efficiently concentrate and purify target analytes. These techniques not only improve the sensitivity and selectivity of analytical methods, but also contribute to reducing solvent consumption, energy usage and waste generation, aligning with the principles of green analytical chemistry.

This Special Issue (SI) aims to highlight progress in the application of novel or modified classical approaches to the extraction of simple molecules and compounds. It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this SI. Full papers, briefs and reviews are welcome. Original investigations as well as concise review manuscripts from experts in relevant research fields but without molecular investigations will not be considered.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
