Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reaction chemistry can be described as the making and breaking of chemical bonds, emphasizing how the concept of bonding lies at the heart of the chemical sciences. This Special Issue is dedicated to chemical bonding in its broadest sense. Contributions will include modern concepts of bonding and some of the non-conventional types of bond that have been introduced to describe novel chemical species. Discussions about the deficiencies of bonding schemes are welcomed as are reports of compounds which challenge our understanding and appreciation of the bonding concept.
The issue will contain a number of invited articles, but we also issue a general invitation for the contribution of manuscripts on the topic of chemical bonding. Manuscripts will be rigorously refereed on the basis of scientific quality as well as relevance to the topic. If you are not certain that your proposed contribution will mesh with the theme of the Special Issue, please do not hesitate to contact the Editor.
Prof. Dr. Edwin Constable
Guest Editor
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.
