Fundamentals and Applications of Copper-Based Catalysts

Dear Colleagues,

Copper has continued to be one of the most utilized and important transition metal catalysts in synthetic organic chemistry. In addition to its economic and environmental advantage over precious transition metal catalysts arising from the high earth abundance, the versatile catalysis ranging from long-established reactions (e.g. Ullmann coupling and Goldberg amination) to recently increasing boron-installing reactions has garnered much attention from synthetic chemists. This Special Issue aims to cover recent progress in appealing and unique copper catalysis in all areas of synthetic transformations, including C–C bond-forming reactions, C–heteroatom bond-forming reactions, C–H bond functionalization, metalation reaction, cycloaddition, etc.

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.
