State of the Art in Molecular Catalysis in Europe

Dear Colleagues,

Europe remains an important region in the fields of both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, with work including but not limited to catalysts for chemical synthesis, the biorefinery process, environmental solutions, and to possible future sustainable-energy strategies. This Special Issue welcomes both reviews and original research articles on all aspects of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis with an emphasis on fundamental and applied research conducted across Europe. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Polyolefin synthesis
• Catalysts for biodegradable polymer formation, for example via ring opening polymerization
• Catalysts for the conversion of biomass
• Catalysts related to the biorefinery process
• Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis for organic synthesis
• Catalysts using CO₂ as a feedstock
• Molecular catalysts for electrochemical water splitting
• Photocatalytic, photochemical, and photosynthetic systems for H₂ production and CO₂ utilization
• Green catalysis, including the use of earth abundant metals
• Theoretical studies on any of the above topics

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
