Aims

Smart Molecules aims to publish experimental and theoretical approaches dealing with molecules based functional systems that show response to external stimuli, such as light, heat, electric field, magnetic field, sound, guest molecules, et al. It will focus on the intelligent design of molecular based systems. 

Scope 
The scope of Smart Molecules is intentionally broad to encompass the multidisciplinary research of chemistry, physics, materials, engineering, biology, medical, life and health science.

It will include but not limited to the following topics:

• external stimuli induced cis-trans, open-close ring structural transformation, electric configuration interconversion, such as spin transition, and electron transfer
• detecting, sensing, self-healing functions of molecules based functional systems
• molecular devices and machine
• micro and nano-systems
• key core materials
• mechanistic study
• molecular design
• work function tuning
• smart manufacturing, etc.
