Featured Reviews, Perspectives, and Commentaries in Contemporary Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this Topical Collection, entitled “Featured Reviews, Perspectives, and Commentaries in Contemporary Chemistry”. This Topical Collection will publish high-quality review, perspective and commentary papers written by our Editorial Board Members and leading researchers worldwide. It will provide clear overviews and forward-looking insights into the most critical and timely research areas in modern chemistry.

Chemistry is the central science: it bridges fundamental disciplines from physics to biology and drives advances in applied fields such as medicine, engineering and environmental science. Today’s chemistry also thrives on synergies with mathematics, computer science and artificial intelligence. Positioned at the intersection of the molecular and macroscopic worlds, chemistry underpins materials science, enables new technologies and illuminates humanity’s place in the universe, reminding us that the carbon atoms in our bodies were forged in stars from smaller elements via nuclear fusion.

This Topical Collection welcomes contributions spanning both fundamental and applied research that highlight chemistry’s central role across the natural sciences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Chemistry and energy;
• Chemistry and materials;
• Chemistry and the environment;
• Chemistry and health;
• Chemistry and artificial intelligence;
• Chemistry and information storage/processing.

By curating accessible yet forward-looking articles, this collection will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, students and broader audiences interested in advancements in chemistry. We anticipate that the published works will be widely read, highly influential and instrumental in shaping the future directions of the field.

Prof. Dr. Igor Alabugin

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 collection 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.
