Photoactive Molecules

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue of Molecules is focused on studies of photoactive molecules. Contributions that describe any molecular aspects of photochemistry are welcome. We are interested in topics that span organic synthesis, inorganic chemistry, materials science, nanoscale phenomena, and photophysical chemistry. We are interested in articles describing new strategies for the synthesis and assembly of molecules, as well as the use of light to modify surfaces, to effect transformations, and the use of photoactive molecules in sensors and for light harvesting. We encourage authors to submit research papers and comprehensive reviews for this Special Issue. We hope that the submissions will reflect the diverse nature of this field.
