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

? M?ssbauer 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.
