Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special issue of Molecules is devoted to various research fields in the chemistry beyond molecules which have been expending vastly over the past several decades. After the 1987 Nobel Prize awarded “for development and use of molecules with structure-specific interactions of high selectivity”, major advances have been made in many new related subjects. To mention just a few: (i) determination of the interplay between non-covalent interactions and the goal of recognition; (ii) selectivity inspired by biological systems, drug design and delivery; (iii) advanced biochemistry, medical applications, and modern nanotechnologies rely also on specific intermolecular interactions; (iv) development of practical sensors and devices based on molecular recognition. The intelligent design of new recognition systems is greatly aided by computations.
The aim of this special issue is to present a broader view on current achievements and perspectives for new developments of molecular recognition phenomena. Contributions from authors of both original and review manuscripts that are relevant to design, synthesis, and characterization of all varieties of molecular recognition systems and their practical applications are invited and will be considered. It is expected that the broad scope of this issue will attract many articles on diverse research and interesting, multidisciplinary facets of molecular recognition.

Submission
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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a 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 1800 CHF (Swiss francs).

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
