Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
From the development of a new material for mobile phone screens, photovoltaic plates or fuel cells to understanding of the etiology of a disease, the pharmacology of a drug, or the action mechanism of a drug delivery system, intermolecular interactions often play an essential role. Compared to intramolecular interactions, intermolecular interactions involve a higher level of complexity, and they generally are far less tractable and more challenging. In addition, intermolecular interactions bring more diverse and more complex dynamics. Consequently, their relationship with the property and function is much harder to pinpoint and often ambiguous. Both the experimental methodologies and theoretical arsenal need to be extended and upgraded. On the other hand, however, with a much larger parameter space, intermolecular interactions provide abundant and unique opportunities for scientists to explore, manipulate, optimize, and diversify their systems of interest. This Special Issue collects papers on the investigation of intermolecular interactions in various systems in chemistry, biology, materials science, and other fields, reporting new experimental and theoretical findings and advances in experimental techniques, theoretical methods, as well as numerical modeling. While this Special Issue emphasizes conclusive, clear-cut, original, and illuminating insights, it also welcomes provocative and intriguing new results. Articles of both experimental and theoretical research and critical reviews are to be considered.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
