Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ionic liquids (ILs) and related species, such as deep eutectic solvents (DES), are useful materials for a variety of applications in chemistry. Some of these applications include solvents for fine and bulk synthesis, solvents for separation of chemicals in mixtures, lubricants for specialized materials, modification of nanomaterials, and electrolytes for batteries and supercapacitors.
The useful properties of ILs and DES—namely, low-pressure vapor, non-flammability, recyclability, high solution capacity, and so on—have provoked an increase in their use as solvent in organic synthesis. Recently, chiral ILs have successfully been employed as chiral catalysis and additives for the EPC (enantiomerically pure compound) synthesis of organic compound, including biologically relevant chemicals.
In this Special Issue of the journal Catalysis, we plan to address current development in the application of ILs and related chemicals in EPC synthesis, with a special focus on catalytic processes. This issue will publish both updated reviews and original research on a variety of themes related to the thematic issues, including the use of ILs and DES as solvents, catalysts, and additives for the EPC synthesis of organic compounds.

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.
