Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Luminescent materials are increasingly attractive, fundamentally for their beauty and intriguing features and practically for their potential applications in devices and probes. Organic luminescent materials have become valuable alternatives to inorganic luminophores, but they are still rare because most organic chromophores suffer a dramatic quenching of their emission when they pass from dilute solutions to concentrated solutions or to solid states. On the other hand, some organic chromophores present different photophysical properties between the dilute solution and the solid state.
This Special Issue will be focused on the properties and applications of organic luminescent materials made of small chromophores, especially when taking advantage of the intermolecular/supramolecular interactions present in the solid state.
This Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Supramolecular interactions of dyes;
- Aggregation-induced emission and aggregation-induced emission enhancement;
- J- and H-aggregates;
- Heavy atom effect;
- Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer;
- Applications of organic luminescent materials in OLEDs, sensors, probes, responsive materials, and other emissive devices.
We look forward to receiving your submissions for this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Dr. Samuel Guieu
Guest Editor
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. Materials 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 2600 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.
