Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Late transition metal complexes have gained immense importance in various research areas including catalysis, organometallic chemistry, material sciences, polymers, and biological and medicinal chemistry. The growing interest in late transition metals (groups 8–11) has inspired chemists to develop different synthetic strategies involving ligands that could alter the properties of these complexes. We have known about late transition metal complexes of alkyl compounds for insertion polymerization reactions since the 1970s. For a very long time, late transition metals have marked their entry into the advanced field of industrially important catalysts. Pertaining to the properties of these metals, such as functional-group tolerance and less oxophilicity, there is a scope for the isolation of a large number of industrially important compounds based on these metals.
In this Special Issue, we wish to cover the recent developments in designing ligands that tune the properties of the late transition metal complexes by hosting a combination of original research articles and short critical reviews.

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. Inorganics 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 2700 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.
