Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural olfactory systems have remarkable selectivity and sensitivity, allowing them to navigate chemical sensing tasks in a complex world. While many have tried to replicate animal olfaction for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), it is immensely challenging to replicate such selectivity. In particular, chemosensor-based systems can often exhibit disappointing performances as they move from initial testing in simplified laboratory environments to sensing tasks occurring in a more complex chemical world due to unanticipated interferences and environmental conditions.
This Special Issue of Chemosensors, entitled “Detection of Volatile Organic Compounds in Complex Mixtures”, seeks contributions that contemplate the analysis of complex mixtures or detection in a complex background. Authors are invited to submit papers that describe detection efforts in complex real-world environments or methods of analysis, detection and characterization of complex VOC mixtures. Papers may cover topics such as the use of sensor arrays, determination of target analytes from complex mixtures, novel sensing and analytical instrumentation for complex environments, and bio-, biomimetic and animal chemical sensing in real-world or complex environments.

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. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
