Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) are a class of ionic liquids that have paramagnetic properties due to the presence of a transition metal or lanthanide in the cationic or anionic structure. This offers the advantage of being responsive to an external magnetic field, providing a large potential for different technological applications, such as catalysis, transport, and separation of materials and gases. The synthesis of MILs is rapidly growing, and their applications are becoming broader. With this Special Issue, we aim to present the latest developments not only around their applications but also in order to offer an overview of new MILs and novel methodologies for their synthesis. Topics of interest in this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Synthesis and characterization of MILs;
- MILs in separation techniques;
- MILs in electrochemistry;
- MILs for analytical sample preparation;
- MILs in material sciences;
- MILs in drug delivery.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
