Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The molecular structure and its interactions in complex solutions are of significance for the comprehension of the properties of such solutions and their applications. Vibrational spectroscopy is frequently employed to study the molecular structure of solutions; however, the spectra of solvents interacting with solutes in complex solutions often overlap significantly with those of pure solvents. To address this challenge, two strategies have been devised to facilitate the study of related problems. The first of these is to adopt novel spectral data processing and analysis techniques, including excess spectroscopy, difference spectroscopy, ratio spectroscopy, multivariate curve resolution and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy. A second strategy involves the use of special probes whose vibrational spectra are located within the spectral window. Examples of such probes include C-D bonds, azide bonds, SCN bonds and carbon-nitrogen bonds. The present Special Issue will focus on these novel spectroscopic analysis methods and the application of novel probes in complex solutions.

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.
