Journal Of Molecular Structure

The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:

• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)

• Chemical intermediates

• Molecules in excited states

• Biological molecules

• Polymers.

The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:

• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)

• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)

• Electronic absorption spectroscopy

• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism

• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques

• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.

• Microwave spectroscopy

• Electron diffraction

• NMR and ESR spectroscopies

• Mössbauer spectroscopy

• X-ray crystallography

• Charge Density Analyses

• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)

We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
