Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your research (communications/articles) and/or reviews to Molecules’ Special Issue on “Chemiluminescence and Photoluminescence of Advanced Compounds”.
Luminescence is a fascinating phenomenon regarding the formation of molecules in the electronically excited state, which then emit radiation, returning to the ground state. For the recent two decades, the compounds expressing luminescent properties have found many applications—especially in biomedical, chemical, and environmental analyses—as luminescent indicators or luminescent label fragments. Interest in the use of techniques utilizing luminescence is also increasing in laser technology and optoelectronic devices. They routinely offer superior sensitivity and simplicity at relatively low costs, often without the need for the use of complex optical systems. The search for novel luminescent compounds characterized by a high efficiency and easily tailorable dynamics of light emission, stability in solutions, and solid states is a priority for the applications of luminescent compounds. Therefore, the prospects for the use of luminescent compounds in biological and environmental systems, biotechnology, and material technologies are widespread and growing.
This Special Issue, titled “Chemiluminescence and Photoluminescence of Advanced Compounds”, is devoted to the collection of up-to-date original and review papers in this fast-growing field. In the original articles, both experimental and computational research on the design, synthesis, luminescent properties, mechanism of light generation, application prospects, and other aspects are welcome. Through this Special Issue, we hope to inspire others to gain an interest in luminescence and join us on our journey.

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.
