Dear Colleagues,

Since novel π-conjugate aromatic compounds and derivatives have been utilized in various fields of organic electronics such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs), the recent development of synthetic methodology and the evaluation of their physicochemical properties of these compounds have attracted much attention in materials science.

The Special Issue entitled "Recent Development of Organic Field-Effect Transistors Based on Molecular Structure" will open a new window for researchers to represent new findings and ideas on the new synthetic routes, properties, and applications of novel π-conjugate compounds and derivatives to the materials toward organic field-effect transistors based on their molecule structures.

This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research papers or comprehensive reviews that demonstrate or summarize significant advances in novel π-conjugate aromatic compounds and derivatives related to the synthesis, functionalization, physicochemical properties, and application to organic field-effect transistors.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
