Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemosensors are the compounds containing receptor moiety linked with signaling unit(s), which reflects the sensing event by changing the physical signal, such as optical (color and/or photoluminescence), electrical etc. And to construct chemosensors two approaches can be used, such as synthetic approach involving direct connecting both units via covalent bond, or supramolecular approach assuming self-assembly between receptor and signaling unit by means of non-covalent interactions. And among the supramolecular architectures, micelles are the most attractive for the molecular recognition, especially in aqueous and semi-aqueous media. In the regular micelles-based chemosensors the lipophilic active species (chemosensors or receptors or fluorophores) are incapsulate inside the hydrophobic core of surfactant micelles, and the charged micellar surface provides good solubility in aqueous or semi-aqueous solution along with an effective non-covalent binding of ionic or neutral analytes and/or their transport inside the micelle in the close proximity to the encapsulated receptor or signaling units to cause the generation, enhancement or quenching of an optical signal, mostly fluorescence, as well as color change. Due to the various geometry and surface potential, various factors influencing assembly or disassembly of the micelles various analyte-selective micellar chemosensors are available. Current issue is dedicated to the recent achievements of micelle-based chemosensors for various analytes.

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.
