This special issue belongs to the section “Catalysis in Organic and Polymer Chemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to invite you to the Special Issue titled “10th Anniversary of Catalysts: Molecular Catalysts”. This Special Issue is organized by some editorial board members of Catalysts in the Organic and Polymer Chemistry Section. We will be accepting manuscripts related to molecular catalysis, including metal catalyzed organic transformations (efficient organic synthesis), polymerization, mechanistic studies, synthesis of functional polymers, etc. The topic is broad, and any articles and reviews related to this topic will be acceptable on the basis of documents described in the section information (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/catalysts/sections/catalysis_in_organic_and_polymer_chemistry). Moreover, in order to be more visible and have a greater impact, we encourage submissions on this topic from a wide range of authors, and you are welcome to invite relevant authors to participate. We are looking forward to receiving many papers on this exciting occasion.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
