Deep Eutectic Solvents: Properties and Applications as Green Solvents

Dear Colleagues,

For two decades, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been competing with ionic liquids due to lower production costs, lower toxicity, and favorable biodegradability. Many studies have demonstrated their usefulness in a wide range of applications, including extraction, separation, and catalysis, in the pharmaceutical industry, depending on the physicochemical properties of DES. Therefore, the Special Issue “Deep Eutectic Solvents: Properties and Applications as Green Solvents” is devoted to the collection of up-to-date original and review papers in this field. In the original articles, both experimental and computational research on pure DES and their mixtures with other solvents are 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 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.
