Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organometallic chemistry has undergone significant development in recent years, driven by advances in synthetic methodologies, ligand design, the development of sustainable synthetic strategies and an improved understanding of the electronic and structural properties of the metal–carbon bond. Recent research has focused particularly on designing more efficient and selective transition metal-based catalysts, with an emphasis on sustainable and environmentally friendly processes. The development of advanced spectroscopic techniques and computational modelling has enabled more detailed studies of the reactivity, reaction mechanisms and stability of these compounds. As a result, these compounds have found wide application in organic synthesis, industrial catalysis, the development of functional materials and pharmaceutical chemistry. A particularly rapidly growing area is bioorganometallic chemistry, where organometallic complexes are investigated as anticancer and antimicrobial agents, diagnostic systems and platforms for targeted drug delivery. These achievements confirm the central role of organometallic chemistry in the development of modern, interdisciplinary and sustainable chemistry.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
