Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Formulated in 1869, Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of Elements based on atomic weights paved the way for the reformulation of atomic numbers. Subsequently, the periods and groups in the Periodic Table were explained by the shell structures of atoms through the newly developed quantum theory of atoms. Over the past 150 years, research on the electronegativity, oxidation states, and polarizability of elements as well as the chemical bonding between elements has been combined with the Periodic Table to allow the interpretation and classification of a vast number of physical and chemical properties of elements, discrete molecules, and condensed matter. This Special Issue will highlight some of these developments in celebration of the 150th birthday of Medeleev’s Periodic Table of Elements.

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.
