Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue in the journal Molecules will publish manuscripts on the subject of N-heteroacenes. These are formally derived from hydrocarbons called acenes by replacing trivalent CH groups with nitrogen atoms. Acenes are formed from the linear fusion of benzene rings, such as benzene–naphthalene–anthracene–tetracene–pentacene, etc., but they become insoluble, difficult to make, and reactive to oxygen. N-heteroacenes are more stable as electron withdrawing nitrogen atoms lower the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and offer many flexible synthetic routes, allowing new materials to be exploited in organic molecular electronics. Manuscripts may focus on synthesis alone, synthesis with calculations, or either or both of these in combination with organic molecular electronics, or just organic molecular electronics alone—the latter currently considered to represent the future of the field. Heteroacenes with an unusually high proportion of heteroatoms are welcome, as are new acenes. Novel polythiophenes can also be published here. These fields will all have interfaces.

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.
