Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For a long time, scientists have worked to generate new knowledge. In chemistry, this results in the tireless search for new targets and drugs, the development of new functional materials based on novel structures, and the generation of interesting nanostructures with select properties, among others. However, in recent years, several research groups have turned their focus into digging out past or well-established knowledge and turning it into new solutions that tackle more contemporary problems. Well-known chemistry is now recycled to create innovative novel uses, bringing new life to old reactions or compounds.
Thus, this Special Issue aims to compile research related to the use of well-known chemistry to solve new problems in fields as broad as drug design, chemical biology, and materials, among others related to chemistry. In addition, it will review the bibliography regarding those reactions or compounds that have been recycled for new purposes.

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.
