Catalysts (ISSN: 2073-4344) has launched the Section “Catalysis in Organic and Polymer Chemistry”, which is dedicated to publishing original and high-quality research communications, articles, and review articles on topics related to organic and polymer synthesis using catalysts (e.g., metal catalysts and organocatalysts). It covers the broad fields of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis as well as organic, organometallic, inorganic, and bioinorganic chemistry.

As they are of open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full text of all the articles published in our journal. We invite you to read our top cited papers published in 2022 and 2023, as listed below:
