Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The key issues of structural evolution and intermolecular interactions in molecular thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, and molecular self-assembly play important roles in a range of multidisciplinary fields, such as chemistry, materials science, crystal engineering, pharmaceutical science, environmental science, and earth science. Robust discussion on the evolution of molecular structures and intermolecular interactions in solution has already resulted in vast leaps in science and technology, and will undoubtedly lead to further insights and open new horizons in relation to molecular thermodynamics and phase transition mechanisms and kinetics.
Therefore, we encourage scientists to submit papers describing fundamental studies devoted to thermodynamics and phase transitions at the molecular level. The manuscripts might relate to, but are by no means limited to, the following topics:
- Experimental, theoretical, or combined perspective views on molecular thermodynamics or molecular simulation in organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry;
- The exploitation of different experimental techniques (NMR, IR, Raman, UV-vis spectroscopy, etc.) for the characterization of intermolecular interactions or solution species;
- Physical interpretations or molecular insights into the molecular self-assembly process.
For this Special Issue, we invite scientists working in different experimental and theoretical fields to contribute their work in order to achieve deeper insight into the issues of structural evolution, intermolecular interactions in molecular thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, and molecular self-assembly processes.

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. Molecules 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 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.
