Aims and Scope
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.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
After submission, the review process was quick, taking about two days. There were four reviewers, and it took one month to receive their feedback. I had two months to make revisions, and a month and ten days later, I submitted the revised version. One of the reviewers conducted a second review five days later, and the next day I made further revisions. Three days after that, the paper was accepted. In total, the process took less than three months. However, it is slow in terms of being searchable on Web of Science, as it still cannot be found after two months.

1.6 Submission
1.21 Received opinions from three reviewers, two rejections and one minor revision. The editor rejected it.
(The reason for rejection was that there was already a similar structure. Wrote a letter to the editor to explain that the reviewers misunderstood and requested withdrawal or minor revision)
1.24 Revised, currently waiting.
Previously submitted an article, now it is becoming increasingly difficult to submit.
