Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The year 2025 will be the 30th anniversary of Molecules. In order to celebrate this exciting event, we set up a Special Issue, "30th Anniversary of Molecules—Recent Advances in Materials Chemistry", to publish cutting-edge work in our Section. In this Special Issue, we invite contributions, either as original research or review articles, on recent advances in the field of materials chemistry in order to underline the impact of materials chemistry on the multidisciplinary context of modern research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New synthetic approaches for the preparation of organic and inorganic materials.
- The development of characterization procedures with which to evaluate the properties of innovative materials.
- Impact of materials chemistry on chemistry, physics, engineering, and biomedicine.
- The discovery of new tailored or unexpected properties of materials.

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.
