Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Supramolecular chemistry is a field that investigates molecular recognition and self-assemblies resulting from noncovalent interactions of molecules. This area of research enhances our comprehension of intermolecular interactions, condensed phases, and complex biological structures while also yielding valuable tools for use in diverse applications such as sensing, catalysis, molecular machines, material science, and biomedicine. The inherent dynamic noncovalent interactions confer numerous advantages to supramolecular systems, such as facile construction, self-healing capabilities, adaptability, and responsiveness to external stimuli. Despite the abundance of reported supramolecular systems in recent decades, developing novel supramolecules with distinctive structures and tailored properties remains a critical and cutting-edge research focus within supramolecular chemistry.
This Special Issue will concentrate on the recent advancements and innovations in supramolecular chemistry, providing perspectives on its potential practical implications and fostering cross-disciplinary research endeavors. Emphasis will be placed on investigations on the development of host–guest chemistry and assembly units and their exploration in various applications.

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.
