Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Asymmetry (chirality) is ubiquitous in nature. The recognition of chirality is of great significance in food science, biomedicine, life science, encryption science and other fields. Asymmetric materials possess asymmetric magnetic (and electronic) polarizability, while there are different interactions between left-handed or right-handed circularly polarized light and asymmetric polarizability. Based on this principle, various chiral spectroscopy techniques for chiral recognition have been invented, for instance, Electronic Circular Dichroism (ECD), Vibrational CD (VCD), Raman Optical Activity (ROA), Circularly Polarized Luminescence (CPL), Fluorescence-Detected CD (FDCD), Optical Rotatory Dispersion (ORD), Linear Birefringence (LB), Faraday Rotation Spectroscopy (FRS), etc.
The interaction between chiral molecules and chiral probes will change the properties of the probes and alter their spectral characteristics. Based on this principle, normal non-polarized spectroscopy can also be used to identify chiral molecules, such as fluorescence spectroscopy, UV–visible absorption spectrum, Raman spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, etc.
We are soliciting contributions (research and review articles) covering a broad range of topics on symmetry and asymmetry in spectroscopy, including (though not limited to) the application of spectroscopy on chiral (symmetry and asymmetry) recognition and mechanisms of chiral recognition spectroscopy.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
