Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Molecules, as the fundamental building blocks of substances, intrinsically influence the chemical, physical, and optical properties of materials. These properties are often the ultimate determinants of the behavior of materials in scientific inquiries. For this reason, the design and synthesis of specific molecular structures to meet the demands of various fields have become increasingly pivotal. This Special Issue of "Design, Synthesis and Applications of the Task-Specific Molecules" seeks to compile cutting-edge research on molecules tailored for specific tasks. The goal is to elucidate the connection between the structures of molecules and the macroscopic properties of the materials or devices they constitute. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses, but is not limited to, properties such as physical and chemical absorption, reactivity, catalytic activity, optical and photovoltaic performance, and photoelectric detection. We aim to collect high-quality research on the many open questions of relevant interest. The collection is open to experimental and theoretical research, including molecular dynamics simulations studies. We intend to present comprehensive analyses of the studied subjects and to encourage the expression of individual points of view. We welcome all the experts in the related fields to contribute original research articles as well as reviews.
Editorial Board Members of this Section of IJMS are highly encouraged to contribute by submitting their reports on relevant advances in their field. We look forward to receiving your submissions of high-quality papers covering the main findings of the latest research in the related fields.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
