Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since we have entered the “great history” of sciences thanks to the realization of LEDs, with their subsequent consecration with the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014, luminescent materials have been widely used and well-known by the general public. Primarily governed by inorganic semiconductors, luminescent materials have dramatically widened their fields of applications and also opened new ones with the use of organic pi-conjugated molecules. Thus, besides optoelectronic applications, these (nano)materials have recently found outlets in the field of medicine through photodynamic therapies, (nano)theranostics, imaging and so on. This breakthrough was due to the development of molecules and macromolecules able to efficiently emit in the solid or aggregated state and advances in both organic and supramolecular chemistry, which allowed these structures to be designed with a specific goal in mind.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research papers or comprehensive reviews that demonstrate or summarize significant advances in the design and applications of organic luminescent materials with potential applications in sensors, optoelectronic devices, imaging and/or nanomedicine.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
