Applications of EPR Spectroscopy in Various Fields of Scientific Research

Dear Colleagues,

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a method that can find “a needle in a haystack”. This is due to its high selectivity only for paramagnetic substances. Thus, specific information about the center with unpaired electrons and its interaction with the environment can be obtained. Thanks to its high sensitivity and un-destructive character of the measurements, EPR spectroscopy is widely used in various fields of science, such as biology, chemistry, and physics. It is successfully applied for the detection and identification of free radicals in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state, paramagnetic centers such as F-centers, and ions of transit metals. Due to its advantages, during the last few years, the application of EPR spectroscopy in various fields of research has increased.

In this Special Issue, I aim to compile studies that are dealing with the use of EPR spectroscopy for free radical reactions in dosimetry, archeology, the examination of bio-molecules as enzymes, vitamins, lipids, etc., for the characterization of paramagnetic complexes and reactive intermediates in catalysis and many other applications.

It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute an original research paper, short communication, or review to this Special Issue.

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-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.
