Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The elementary stages of chemical reactions (including catalytic ones) are caused by such weak inter- and intramolecular contacts as hydrogen, halogen, chalcogen, tetrel bonds as well as stacking (and other pi-system involved) interactions.
The aim of this Special Issue in the Catalysts, entitled “Non-covalent catalysts”, is to address the most recent progress in the rapidly growing field of non-covalent interactions in catalysis. Both experimental and theoretical studies, fundamental and applied research and any forms of manuscripts (for example, reviews, mini-reviews, full papers, short communications, technical notes, and highlights) are welcome for consideration. This Special Issue will address the following bullet-point topics: experimental studies of non-covalent interactions in catalysis; theoretical modeling of supramolecular systems in catalytic processes; application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in studies of non-covalent interactions in catalysis; development of catalysts via non-covalent interactions; databases of non-covalent catalysts; analytical techniques for detection of non-covalent interactions in complex chemical systems. We welcome researchers to contribute their research to our Special Issue.
Dr. Alexander Novikov

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
