Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit an article for the Special Issue of Molecules, titled “Ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy”.
The recent development of a new generation of X-ray radiation sources and the great improvement in time and spectral resolution of experimental instruments can open up new qualitative possibilities for studying nature in unprecedented detail, with sub-femtosecond and sub-nanometer precision. Ultrafast photoinduced electronic and nuclear dynamics, which can be uncovered with the help of X-ray spectroscopy, lies in the basics of chemical reaction control, advances of material science and technology, as well as fundamental understanding of non-linear light–matter interaction.
This Special Issue invites contributions of recent advanced theoretical and experimental studies of various ultrafast processes (electronic, nuclear, or structural dynamics) in different systems ranging from single molecules to molecular clusters, molecular liquids, and condensed matter using X-rays as the main tool.

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.
