Dear Colleagues,

Supramolecules are a wide range of host compounds including very different families of molecules like cyclodextrins, crown ethers, calixarene derivatives, cucurbiturils, etc. These molecules possess unique capabilities such as selective substrate encapsulation or metal chelation, making these supramolecules prime candidates for homogeneous, heterogeneous, multiphasic, or biomimetic catalysis. The aim of using these supramolecules is mainly to improve catalytic performance while providing safer and sustainable processes as well as providing a better understanding of natural transformations.

Manuscript submissions are welcomed for all aspects of the use of supramolecules in catalysis, particularly (but not only) in the following areas:

- Fundamental aspects of supramolecules in catalysis

- The design of new supramolecules holding catalytic metal/substrate with catalytic activities

- Biomimetic supramolecules

- The use of supramolecules in phase transfer catalysis

- Supramolecular catalysis in aqueous environment

- Applications of supramolecules in catalytic processes

- Applications of supramolecules in sustainable chemistry

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 2700 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.
