This special issue of the Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data (JCED) contains manuscripts from the seventh International Conference on Foundations of Molecular Modeling and Simulation. FOMMS showcases new developments and applications of computational quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, molecular simulation and theory, and continuum and engineering process simulation, and to foster interactions among chemical engineers, chemists, physicists, and materials scientists from academia, government laboratories, and industry.

The JCED tagline reads “thermophysical properties and phase equilibria from experiment & computation.” Authors and readers should note the “& computation.” JCED aims to showcase molecular modeling and simulation as complementary techniques that are a source of reliable and accurate physical property and phase equilibrium data.

The eight contributions published in this JCED Special Issue illustrate the breadth of molecular modeling and simulations (MMS) applied to the prediction of data on the phase behavior and the physical, thermodynamic, and transport properties of well-defined materials. The contributions target materials ranging from helium-4 to complex solvents, and also describe novel MMS methods (force fields, algorithms, and data processing) that underpin the data prediction. The theme of FOMMS 2018 was “Innovations for Complex Systems.” This premier international meeting was held at Lake Lawn Resort in Wisconsin in July 2018.
