Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the ever-increasing interest in the development of innovative functionalized nanomaterials, smart nanosystems are being designed, including carbon-based nanomaterials, nanoformulations, polymeric nanostructures and magnetic nanoparticles. Advances in synthetic chemistry and analytics have led to major advances in the field of organic nanomaterials with controlled chemical composition and size distribution. The potential advantages of constructing building blocks using synthetic chemistry at multiple levels have been also exploited for enhancing the surfaces of nanomaterials using either covalent or non-covalent modification, because functionalized nanomaterials may have better physical, chemical and mechanical properties than their non-functionalized counterparts. In this respect, this Special Issue aims to discuss recent progress in the preparation, characterization and applications of multifunctional NMs. Contributions to this Special Issue can be in the form of research articles, short communications and reviews focusing on understanding the role of organic chemistry in obtaining or exploring nanostructured materials. The focus of this Special Issue is on the preparation of organic nanomaterials, new procedures for their functionalization and their application as nanoreactors for organic synthesis.

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.
