Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluorescent probes are a newly developed class of analytical tool that offer the benefits of high sensitivity, good selectivity, low toxicity, and noninvasive real-time visual monitoring. There has been exceptional progress in the development and application of fluorescent probes over the past few decades. They are now frequently employed for drug discovery, cell imaging, environmental monitoring, food safety, and medical applications, and have gradually occupied an indispensable position.
Despite many beneficial advances, remaining challenges include precise synthesis, tunable fluorescence, as well as specificity, sensitivity, security and spatiotemporal resolution of fluorescent probes especially for imaging studies. This Special Issue's goal is to compile the most recent developments in fluorescence probe research. Unique synthesis techniques, fresh fluorescent probe materials, novel luminescence and response mechanisms, and their uses in advanced sectors are just a few of the themes that are pertinent.
We sincerely welcome you to submit your research on all relevant topics for this Special Issue in the form of full papers, reviews or communications.

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.
