Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, significant efforts have been focused on the development and use of new solvents that follow the principles of green chemistry with the aim of replacing traditional ones. Some types of solvents, such as ionic liquids, supercritical fluids, biomass-derived solvents or deep eutectic solvents (DESs), have been studied in depth in order to classify them as green solvents. For solvents to be considered green, their design and preparation must involve the use of environmentally friendly processes, and they must have suitable properties, low toxicity and be effective for their intended applications.
Although significant progress has been made in this sense, new solvents still need to be found, and knowledge regarding existing solvents needs to be deepened. Therefore, we invite you to submit your original and review articles to this Special Issue related to green solvents research, which consider their preparation, the evaluation of their toxicity (experimental evaluation and prediction methods) and/or potential applications.

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.
