Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Supramolecular chemistry is the domain of chemistry beyond molecules, focusing on the chemical systems made up of a discrete number of assembled molecular subunits or components. Numerous examples exist, whereby weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, van der Waals, π–π stacking, dipole–dipole and metal coordination, direct the organization of the resulting self-assembled structures giving rise to complex architectures with a large number of potential applications from mimetic vital functions, materials technology, sensing, molecular recognition, catalysis, photo-/electro-chemically active units, imprinting, molecular machines, etc.
The importance of this field has been demonstrated, with several Nobel prizes in the area (Lehn, Cram, Pedersen in 1987 and Sauvage, Feringa, Stoddart in 2017), and is currently a subject of research in a wide number of worldwide research groups with organic, inorganic, photophysical, electrochemical and nanomaterials expertise.
The present Special Issue will cover some of the recent aspects of supramolecular chemistry, showing the different variety of systems involved in this field as well as their novel applications.

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.
