Quantum Chemical Calculations of Molecular Reaction Processes, 2nd Edition
This special issue belongs to the section "Computational and Theoretical Chemistry".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Theoretical chemical calculations are becoming increasingly important in molecular science and are indispensable for elucidating complex chemical reaction processes and quantitatively predicting observations. The accuracy of quantum chemical calculations has been supported by developments in electronic state theory and the increasing speed of computers. In quantum chemical calculations for reactions, novel algorithms have been developed to reveal reaction pathways, and eventually artificial intelligence will be used to a great extent for molecular design.
In this Special Issue, we will feature papers that use quantum chemical calculations to reveal the reaction processes of molecules. As an open access journal, we will make the potential of quantum chemical calculations widely known to the world by publishing the latest results on using computers to understand the complex world of chemistry.

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-anonymized 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.
