Molecular engineering of functional organic materials

Recent advances in organic chemistry and interface engineering have explored exciting opportunities to bridge the gap between molecular design and desired optoelectronics and device applications. The thematic collection on “Molecular Engineering of Functional Organic Materials” highlights the rational design and synthesis of functional organic molecules with tunable electronic, optical, magnetic, and surface functionalized properties. By controlling molecular structure and functionalities, one can tune optoelectronics, charge transport, light absorption and emission, redox activity, and magnetic properties. This thematic collection aims to highlight emerging organic materials, optoelectronics, surface engineering, and electrical applications that lead to the next generation of real-world applications.

Please note that this open call is open to primary research submissions only.

Submissions to the journal should fit within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry C – Please see the journal’s webpage for more information on the journal’s scope, standards, article types and author guidelines. All manuscripts will undergo the normal initial assessment and peer review processes, if appropriate, in line with the journal’s high standards, managed by the journal editors. Accepted manuscripts will be added to the online collection as soon as they are published and will feature in a regular issue of the relevant journal. Please note that peer review or acceptance is not guaranteed.

If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, please submit your article directly through the journal submissions platform. Please mention that your submission is a contribution to the Molecular Engineering of Functional Organic Materials collection in the “Themed issues” section of the submission form and is in response to the Open Call. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check the suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of both the journal and the collection, and as such, inclusion of accepted articles in the final themed collection is not guaranteed. 

If you have any questions about the collection or the submissions process, please contact the editorial office and they will assist you.
