Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to their extraordinary structures and the rule-breaking traditional recognition of molecular bonding and electron property, the search for the clusters and 2D materials with novel chemical bonding interaction and planar multi-coordinate (hyper-coordinate) motif together with their potential functional applications, have been rapidly developed and flourished in the field of computational and theoretical chemistry in recent years.
In this present Special Issue intends to highlight the results of theoretical and experimental studies on: the planar hyper-coordinate (multi-coordinate) clusters and 2D materials, including planar tetra-coordinate, tetra-coordinate, hexa-coordinate and other motifs; the recent progress on novel chemical bonds or electron interactions, including pi-pi interaction, spin-polarized bond, charge-shift bond, halogen bond, chalcogen bond and singlet diradical and other unusual interactions. Besides the structural novelty and contribution, the advances on the corresponding various functional applications originated from the aforesaid motifs are also welcomed to be included in the Special Issue.
Original manuscripts (full-length articles, short communications, highlights, or mini reviews) address the results from theoretical and experimental investigations, with reference to theoretical methods, algorithm, program coding and other state-of-the-art innovation are all welcome.

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.
