Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemistry provides a fundamental tool at the basic molecular level to provide significant advances in current advanced technologies covering a wide range of fields. In this Special Issue, we aim to collect some selected, relevant examples of the chemical foundations of the technologies that produced new scientific and technologically innovative results recently obtained in Italy using various methodologies and approaches, ranging from organic or inorganic synthesis and analytical or computational methodologies to the design of new devices in a wide range of fields, encompassing, for instance, green chemistry and the circular economy, the materials for energy and for biomedical devices, and sensors for water or soil bioremediation or for theragnostics.

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.
