Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural and synthetic macrocycles, like porphyrins, corroles, and phthalocyanines, among others, are considered strong and extremely versatile candidates to be used in different fields, such as catalysis, molecular recognition and sensing, medicine (e.g., photodynamic therapy, medical imaging, theranostic) and in the development of advanced biomimetic models and functional materials.
All these applications are strongly dependent on the availability of compounds with adequate and specific structural features and can consequently justify the high investment of different researcher groups to synthesize and modify natural and synthetic porphyrin derivatives or analogues and also to assess their photochemical/photophysical and biological properties, among others. This Special Issue, following the success of the previous ones in 2016 and 2018, aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of the latest information on the synthesis and functionalization of tetrapyrrolic macrocycles and their potential applications in different fields.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Chemistry.

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.
