Dear Colleagues,

Aromatic heterocyclic chemistry is a vast subject that has been and continues to be a focus of interest in both the academic and industrial worlds. Aromatic heterocycles are found in nature (for example in nucleic acids and indole alkaloids) and have been widely used as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, dyes, and as pharmaceuticals.

The cyclic structure of these compounds must contain at least one heteroatom (usually N, O or S) and may vary in size (5 and 6-membered heterocyclic structures are most common). The aromaticity of these compounds can be viewed in two different ways: (a) it is inherited (for example aniline) because the structure meets all the standard conditions associated with aromaticity, or (b) it is earned (for example pyrrole) via the delocalization of a lone pair of electrons from the heteroatom.

This special issue of Molecules will consider any submissions associated with heteroaromatic chemistry (including but not limited to: biological, theoretical and mechanistic studies). However, the primary focus of this special issue is related to the synthesis and reactions of heteroaromatic compounds.

Submission

All papers should be submitted to molecules@mdpi.org with copy to the guest editor. To be published continuously until the deadline and papers will be listed together at the special websites.

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed monthly journal published by Molecular Diversity Preservation International.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a paper. Open Access publication fees are 800 CHF per paper. English correction fees (250 CHF) will be added in certain cases (1050 CHF per paper for those papers that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections).
