Molecules is a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal that focuses on all aspects of chemistry and materials science. It was established in March 1996 and is published semi-monthly by MDPI. From 1997 to 2001, Molbank was published as a section of the journal, before splitting into its own journal. Since 2023, Thomas J. Schmidt (University of Münster) holds the position of editor-in-chief.

The journal was initially published by Springer Science+Business Media. In December 1996, Shu-Kun Lin resigned as editor and relaunched the journal with Molecular Diversity Preservation International, which is now renamed as Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI). Springer initially sued over naming rights, but eventually dropped the suit. [1]
