Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemosensors are undergoing multi-disciplinary integration development to constantly improve the efficiency of human production and life. They are widely used in various fields, including environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, health monitoring, food safety, and other areas suitable for portable, on-site detection. However, appropriate material design strategies remain an inevitable and urgent approach for chemosensors to achieve high sensitivity and high selectivity. The topic of this Special Issue is devoted to the recent advances in chemosensors, including traditional chemosensors as well as intelligent chemosensors. The detected targets can be ions, molecules, light, thermal, or other substances that induce chemical reactions. Researchers are invited to submit original research articles, short communications, and review-type articles (e.g., comprehensive and critical literature reviews or review studies based on your recent research experience).

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.
