Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2026, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of our journal Molecules. Molecules has carved out a notable space in the chemistry field, with an Impact Factor of 4.6 (2024) and a 5-Year Impact Factor of 5.0. We sincerely thank our readers, innumerable authors, anonymous peer reviewers, editors, and all the people working in some way for the journal who have contributed to the success of this journal.
To mark this important milestone, a Special Issue entitled “30th Anniversary of Molecules—Recent Advances in Green Chemistry” is being launched. This Special Issue will collect communications, full papers, and high-quality review papers in the field of green chemistry. We therefore invite research groups working within the field of green chemistry to contribute to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. M. Gilles Mailhot
Guest Editor
