Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The remarkable chemical and biological properties of vanadium compounds have garnered significant attention in recent decades, spurring extensive research in their chemistry, biochemistry, and medicinal applications. Due to their potential as insulin-mimetic agents and anticancer therapeutics, along with their promising antibacterial and antiparasitic activities, vanadium coordination chemistry and biochemistry have become focal points of scientific inquiry. Researchers worldwide are actively investigating vanadium compounds to uncover their therapeutic potential, understand their health benefits, and elucidate their mechanisms of action.
Following the success of the first edition of this Special Issue, a second volume has been launched to showcase recent advances in vanadium chemistry, biochemistry, and medicinal chemistry. We anticipate that this issue will significantly influence the future trajectory of vanadium research. Therefore, we warmly invite you to contribute your latest findings to this collection.

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.
