Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Naphthalene diimide (NDI) is the smallest homologue of rylene diimides (RDI), among which perylene diimide (PDI) is no-doubt the most important one due to its fluorescence quantum yield, favorable photophysical and electrochemical properties and usage as industrial colorants in the form of dyes and pigments. NDIs have been widely used in different fields such as organic, bioorganic, supramolecular, organic electronics and medicinal chemistry. The practical application is involved in certain types of chemical sensors, and optoelectronic devices such as organic solar cells, light emitting diodes and field effect transistors. In recent years, advances in NDI research with respect to artificial photosynthesis and photophysical properties have also been studied in detail. NDIs can be functionalized through imide and/or core substitution (2,6- or 2,3,6,7- to the core) producing NDI analogues whose absorption and fluorescence properties are variable. This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of the latest information on new chemical structures for access to modified NDIs, NDI analogues, and applications of these new molecules in various 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.
