Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiochemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies radiation from a molecular perspective and explores isotope transformation and radioactive reaction effects, a physical and medical property of radioisotopes. Research in radiochemistry is ongoing, with radioisotopes used to label chemical compounds such as radiopharmaceuticals (radiotracers) for drug development, involving radiopharmaceutical design and preparation, in vitro and in vivo biological studies, pharmacological study, and preclinical and clinical studies.
This Special Issue will focus on the development of radiopharmaceuticals and their theranostic applications. Radiopharmaceuticals include all physicochemically characterized molecular structures such as small organic molecules, coordination compounds, and nanomaterials. The development of radiopharmaceuticals is devoted to (1) preparation of precursors; (2) radiolabeling techniques including radiosynthesis, purification, and analysis; (3) in vitro and in vivo radiopharmaceutical research and pharmacological investigation; (4) radiotracers for PET/SPECT imaging, preclinical trials, diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and potential personalized medicine.

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.
