Dear Colleagues,

The knowledge of reactive intermediate chemistry is central to develop modern mechanism and quantitative understanding of Organic Chemistry. This special issue tries to be a summary of the latest advances in this topic, both from the reactivity of the characterization point of view. We pretend to include research results in the chemistry of many types of reactive molecules as intermediates, starting from carbocations, carbanions or free radicals and continuing through carbenes, nitrenes or arynes. On the other hand, advanced experimental techniques of modern physical-organic chemistry, isolation methods and characterization of highly reactive molecules will be welcome. We invite the scientific community to take part of this project.

Submission

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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules 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 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs).
