Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exploration of molecular phenomena is a multidisciplinary inquiry that spans the domains of chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science. As the Guest Editor for the upcoming Special Issue, I invite colleagues to contribute to the following potential areas and topics that can enhance our understanding of molecular structure, solvation, solute-solvent interactions, stability, and dynamics of dissolution phenomena. All kinds of submissions, including reviews, original papers, and short essays, are welcome as contributions to the various aspects of the titled phenomena. The potential themes include deciphering molecular structures and quantifying intermolecular interactions using modern electronic structure analysis, emerging computational techniques such as quantum chemistry, density functional theory, molecular dynamics, and machine learning methodologies. In particular new fresh ideas related to solvation dynamics and equilibria as well as solvation effects and mechanism are welcome. The submission of novel and innovative concepts pertaining to the dynamics and equilibria of solvation, as well as the effects and mechanisms underlying solvation is encouraged. As computational methods have progressed to the extent that the prediction and elucidation of molecular geometries have attained a high degree of sophistication the studies of real physical phenomena are possible. Hence stands as valuable tools in the realm of materials science, computational design and characterization of novel materials. The role of solvation and molecular interactions in shaping the properties of materials provides a platform for groundbreaking research, offering opportunities to engineer materials with tailored functionalities. Furthermore the amalgamation of spectroscopic techniques with computational tools offers avenues for unraveling the intricacies of molecular architecture, thereby providing insights into the forces dictating their existence and such contributions are also expected.

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.
