Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is related to the fundamental properties and current and novel applications of deep eutectic systems. Twelve green principles developed during the 20th century inspired researchers worldwide to investigate and develop new knowledge, inventions, designs, and applications of products and processes that align with the concepts of green chemistry and deep eutectic systems, which encompass most of the 12 principles of green chemistry. The evidence shows that a step forward has been made in industrial applications. Still, ongoing research demonstrates the potential to leverage new applications from a deeper understanding of these liquid systems. In accordance with this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of original research manuscripts or reviews concerning new developments in the field, ranging from fundamental perspectives on physico-chemical properties, thermodynamic modelling, and molecular simulations to novel 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.
