Progress in Molecular Spectroscopy

Dear Colleagues,

Recent scientific advancements in the field of molecular spectroscopy have created a mosaic of various techniques and processes with which large scientific fields, such as physical chemistry of materials, structural characteristics investigation of materials and the elucidation of their mechanical properties have attracted a lot of interest recently. In this context, we invite you to submit your work in the field of molecular spectroscopy of materials.

This Special Issue aims at highlighting recent scientific advancements in the field of synthesis of novel materials and the physicochemical processes occurring during their synthesis. In a a parallel manner, molecular spectroscopy can be used as a tool in order to unveil various characteristics of novel materials. Hence, our Special Issue will also focus on how molecular spectroscopy can become a unique tool in unveiling various properties of materials in a comprehensive and inclusive way, whether these materials are in a solid, liquid of gaseous state. Finally, this Special Issue will focus on both basic and applied research, and will host original research and review articles aiming to provide new scientific knowledge, but not limited to, the following fields:

• Physical chemistry;
• Materials science;
• Novel materials (synthesis, physicochemical and mechanical properties, applications);
• Advances in research on new and current formulations for potential medicinal applications;
• Molecular structure and dynamics.

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.
