Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ion solvation is a crucial feature of a range of chemical and physical phenomena, and our ever-growing interest in this area has led to the development of new experimental techniques, molecular theories, and computational methods. However, we still face challenges in understanding the nature of ion solvation and its impact on the development of new materials, technologies, and processes. These problems are exacerbated by the breadth of our existing knowledge in this area and the apparent disparity between disciplines in which ion solvation plays key roles. The solution is to encourage effective communication between the various communities that are interested in ion solvation. Accordingly, this Special Issue will act as a much needed resource for all researchers interested in ion solvation and related phenomena. Examples of the topics that will be covered are listed below.

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.
