Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Linear or nonlinear photoresponsive organic chromophores or donor–acceptor conjugates may undergo intermolecular or intramolecular energy- or electron-transfer mechanisms leading to photonic or electronic transient states. The consequences of these activated energy and electron states in molecular or nanoparticle configurations may facilitate a wide range of application fields, spanning from multiphoton absorptions or light-tunable photonics, energy upconversion, photoinduced conductivity in optoelectronic fields, biological FRET fluorescence imaging and photodynamic agents, and photoactivated information storage to dielectric amplification at microwave frequencies. The underlying chemistry of these advanced phenomena observed on organic materials may be assisted by incorporation of core–shell nanoparticles in configuration or in molecular self-assembly format. This Special Issue on “Photoresponsive Materials and Properties Performance Mechanism” will place emphasis on recent new developments in these research 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. 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.
