Theoretical, Computational and Experimental Advances on Molecular Optical Properties, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

For this Special Issue, we welcome contributions investigating theoretical, computational, and experimental advancements in molecular optical properties aimed at understanding how molecules interact with light and how structure influences properties. Theoretical approaches, grounded in quantum mechanics and simulations, are employed to predict optical behaviors. Computational methods utilize algorithms and data-driven models to explore these interactions, while experimental techniques—such as time-dependent spectroscopy—are used to measure and analyze key optical properties, including absorption, emission, and transition constant. The integration of engineered computation with experimental measurements provides powerful insights into molecular photophysics. Together, these approaches deepen our understanding of molecular behavior and enable advancements in materials science, chemistry, and photonics.

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.
