Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the launch of the Special Issue titled “Feature Review Papers on Catalysis in Organic and Polymer Chemistry”. This Special Issue aims to gather comprehensive and insightful review papers that focus on the latest advancements, challenges, and future directions in the field of catalysis in organic and polymer chemistry.

We welcome submissions that cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, catalytic organic transformations for the synthesis of fine chemicals and polymers, green and sustainable catalytic reactions, precision polymerization, and the synthesis and reaction chemistry of new transition metal complexes for both organic transformations. Additionally, we are keen to receive contributions that explore mechanistic studies at the molecular level, such as kinetics, spectroscopic analysis, computational modeling, and reaction chemistry. Through this Special Issue, we aspire to create a valuable resource where researchers can exchange ideas, share their expertise, and foster further progress in this crucial and dynamic field of chemistry.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 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 thoroughly refereed through a single-blind 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.
