Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Chemistry dedicated to celebrating the outstanding scientific achievements of Academician Oleg Geroldovich Sinyashin.
Professor Sinyashin is an internationally recognized leader in organic and organoelement chemistry. Over the course of his distinguished career, he has authored more than 800 publications and 46 patents, pioneering advances in organophosphorus chemistry, coordination compounds, electrochemistry, medicinal chemistry, and the organic chemistry of fullerenes. His work has led to the development of general methods for phosphorylation and thiolation, innovative strategies for heterocyclic and cage-like ligands, the discovery of macrocyclic phosphines for supramolecular chemistry, and the creation of biomimetic catalysts for hydrogen electrosynthesis and fuel cell applications. He also pioneered a new direction in metal complex catalysis for the selective electrochemical activation and functionalization of organic molecules.
Beyond his research, Professor Sinyashin has had a transformative impact on the chemical community through his leadership at the A.E. Arbuzov Institute of Organic and Physical Chemistry, the Kazan Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and his editorial stewardship of the Russian Journal of General Chemistry. His service to science and society has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards, including the Nesmeyanov Prize (2016) and the Chugaev Prize (2018).
This Special Issue aims to honor Professor Sinyashin’s legacy by gathering cutting-edge contributions and perspectives in areas reflecting his lifelong scientific vision, including but not limited to the following:
- Organophosphorus chemistry and organometallic chemistry;
- Coordination compounds and supramolecular chemistry;
- Catalysis and electrochemical activation of organic molecules;
- Chemistry of fullerenes and advanced carbon materials;
- Medicinal and bioinspired chemistry;
- Fundamental and applied organic synthesis.
We invite researchers worldwide to contribute original research articles, reviews, and perspectives to this Special Issue. Together, these contributions will highlight the far-reaching impact of Professor Sinyashin’s scientific career and showcase new directions in organoelement and organic chemistry inspired by his work.
We look forward to your contributions in celebrating the remarkable legacy of Professor Oleg G. Sinyashin.

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. Chemistry is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1800 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.
