Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Molecular liquids play a central role in contemporary chemistry, underpinning advances across areas such as sustainable solvents, energy materials, separations, catalysis, and bio-related applications. In Europe, research on molecular liquids has developed into a highly interdisciplinary and internationally visible field, combining experimental thermophysics, spectroscopy, advanced modeling, and data-driven approaches to address both fundamental and applied challenges.
This Special Issue, Molecular Liquids in Europe, aims to showcase recent scientific progress and emerging directions led by European research groups, while fostering dialogue with the broader international community. Contributions span a wide range of systems, including conventional and functional organic liquids, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, hybrid and multicomponent mixtures, and liquids under extreme or confined conditions. Emphasis is placed on structure–property relationships, intermolecular interactions, phase behavior, transport properties, and molecular-level insights obtained through computational and theoretical methods.
By highlighting methodological innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration, this Special Issue reflects the strength and diversity of European research in molecular liquid science. It also addresses pressing societal challenges related to sustainability, resource efficiency, and green chemical technologies. We hope this collection will serve as a valuable reference for researchers, inspire new collaborations, and contribute to shaping future developments in the field of molecular liquids.

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.
