Dear Colleagues,

As the Editor-in-Chief of Molecules, it is my great pleasure to announce the winners of the Molecules 2023 Best PhD Thesis Award. This award is for two PhD students or recently qualified PhDs who have produced a highly anticipated thesis with great academic potential.

The award has been granted to:

“The Concept of Multicenter Bonds in Chemistry and Materials Science” by Nikolay Tkachenko, Utah State University, USA.

“Development and Evaluation of Innovative Catalytic Systems in Organic Chemistry” by Nikolaos Tzouras, Ghent University, Belgium and National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece.

Each winner will receive CHF 800, an electronic certificate, and a chance to publish a paper free of charge after peer review in Molecules in 2024.

On behalf of the evaluation committee, I congratulate the winners on their accomplishments. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the applicants for submitting their exceptional theses and thank the Award Committee for voting and helping with this award.
