Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to introduce this issue of Molecules, which is dedicated to Professor Gary Martin in honor of his 75th birthday. We have collaborated with Gary for many years in the field of experimentally based NMR and computational chemistry and have produced a number of joint publications and attended a number of the same periodical NMR meetings, like SMASH, ENC, and ISMAR in Asilomar. Gary Martin is a prominent figure in the field of NMR. He received his Ph.D. degree in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Kentucky in 1976. Several years ago, he retired from the Structure Elucidation Group at Merck & Co. Inc. (known as MSD outside the USA) but continued researching and teaching the NMR spectroscopy of natural products. He now holds the position of Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Seton Hall University and the Stevens Institute of Technology. The NMR of natural products is one of Gary’s main passions, and his achievements in this field are of great practical guidance to many researchers working in this area. For many years he has investigated the utilization of NMR pulse sequences for the unequivocal identification of molecular constitutions and configurations using isotropic and anisotropic NMR data, including residual dipolar couplings and residual chemical shift anisotropy. Gary Martin, the 2018 recipient of the Shoolery Award and EAS Award for Outstanding Achievements in Magnetic Resonance, is the author of more than 300 publications including books, book chapters, reviews, and research papers, which have had an enormous impact on the current state of NMR spectroscopy worldwide. Happy Birthday, Gary!

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.
