Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic luminescent materials have attracted increasing attention owing to their potential applications in chemosensors, fluorescent probes, laser dyes, and optoelectronic devices. The development of novel, highly efficient, and stable organic luminescent materials remains a big challenge and typically relies on trial-and-error methods. Theoretical studies on the photophysical and photochemical properties of organic luminescent materials with state-of-the-art ab initio excited-state methods can not only provide in-depth insights into the excited-state dynamics but also deliver theoretical guides for developing novel potential organic luminescent materials.
This Special Issue will focus on theoretical studies of the luminescent properties of organic materials. The topics include the sensing mechanism of fluorescent probes; the working mechanism of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens; and theoretical studies on the excited-state dynamics of organic luminescent materials with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) properties. In addition, the scope of this Special Issue also covers the development of theoretical methods in dealing with the excited-state properties of organic luminescent materials. Full research papers, short communications, reviews, and perspective articles are all welcome.

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.
