Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Investigations into the chemistry of actinides have been increasing recently and impressive synthetic breakthroughs have been augmented by advanced spectroscopic and computational methods. Uranium chemistry has been at the forefront of this renaissance as it is less constrained by safety considerations. The most stable oxidation state of uranium is the +6 or uranyl(VI) ion and numerous non-aqueous studies have shown its unexpected and exciting chemistry. This Special Issue aims at giving an overview of recent advances in all aspects of uranyl chemistry in organic and aqueous media as well as solid state and the biological arena. This will encompass all areas of synthetic, spectroscopic and computational studies, whilst sharing this with a broader audience by means of open access. We invite you to contribute papers in these research areas and allow your research to extend and enhance current trends in this exciting field.

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.
