Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to the rise of computational power and decreasing cost of computers, computational chemistry has evolved to a tool that changes the way chemical research and teaching is carried out. A wide variety of methods and tools have become available which not only can improve our understanding of basic chemical concepts but also is applicable to real experimental problems in academic and industrial research. Nowadays properties of molecules and molecular ensembles can be determined with sufficient accuracy to be useful in limiting the amount of experimental work in catalysis, drug discovery, and the development of new materials. Among them are thermodynamic properties, spectroscopical properties, and reaction kinetics to mention just a few. Visualization plays an important role in many aspects and particularly in teaching. Computational chemistry has the potential to become the universal (visual) language, uniting the different descriptions of similar chemical phenomena in disciplines like physical chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and biochemistry, catalysis and biocatalysis, pharmacokinetics.
We welcome original articles and short communications, as well as a limited number of review articles, on new approaches and methods of computational chemistry for research and teaching. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on the website.

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.
