Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue will cover the applications of chemical instrumentation (including data analysis) for the detection and identification of historical, transient or emerging events that are industrial, geologic, environmental or biological in nature. These events play key roles in understanding the impact and prognosis of processes crucial in a variety of settings. For this reason, this Special Issue will highlight advances in the discovery of novel chemical markers indicative of important processes and/or the role played by these chemical markers in gaining insight into these systems and networks. It is expected that a wide range of sensing technologies and novel analytical methodologies and platforms will be covered. For this Special Issue, we solicit both original research papers and review articles that are devoted to instrumentation, methodology, data analysis, or some combination of these which impact on the discovery of chemical markers.

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.

During conservation of the painted ceiling decoration of Lin’xi Pavilion in the Forbidden City, two distinct paint campaigns were isolated as a unique case study into architectural paint materials during both the Ming and Qing dynasties. Paint samples and cross sections from both paint generations were analyzed with SEM-EDX, time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), XRD, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies. Similar organic and inorganic materials characteristic of these time periods were identified. The pigments of interest found in both paint generations were botallackite and atacamite polymorphs. This suggests a shift from natural mineral sources to synthetic copper-based pigments for these larger architectural projects. Full article
