Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fullerenes have attracted considerable attention due to their unique structure. Fullerene and its derivatives with unique chemical and physical properties have been used broadly not only for medical fields but also for carbon materials in nanotechnology. This Special Issue will focus on recent developments in fullerenes and their applications. In the organic photovoltaics (OPVs) field, fullerene and its derivatives have been explored as excellent n-type semiconductors in solution processable organic electronics. With the continuous production of many fullerene derivatives, the range of potential applications of fullerenes and fullerene derivatives in materials science is becoming broader, such as biomedical applications as potential phototherapeutic agents, water-soluble fullerene derivatives for drug discovery, and so on.

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.
