Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coordination and organometallic chemistry have been fundamental pillars in the advancement of various areas of chemical knowledge, particularly in the fields of catalysis and biomedical applications. These approaches have enabled the rational design of metal complexes with unique properties that promote efficient and selective chemical transformations, as well as the development of new therapeutic agents and diagnostic systems.
In this Special Issue of our journal, entitled "Coordination and Organometallic Chemistry for Catalytic and Biomedical Applications", we invite the scientific community to contribute original research, reviews, and short communications covering everything from fundamental aspects to innovative applications. The focus is on interdisciplinary approaches, functional ligand design, reaction mechanisms, the application of catalysis in green chemistry and the use of metals in biological environments. This issue aims to offer an up-to-date and thought-provoking overview of the growing impact these disciplines have on modern chemistry and on solutions to technological and healthcare challenges.

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 2200 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.
