Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, catalysts make possible certain processes, and their importance at the industrial level is in many cases crucial, so chemists from many different fields continue to work on their design. From a sustainable point of view, catalysts are particularly interesting considering the "twelve principles" of green chemistry used to obtain the benefits of the "atom economy". Achieving more efficient processes, either from a stereoselectivity or conversion point of view, remains one of the goals in this field. Using abundant and cheap metals fulfils the goal of ”reducing and replacing” that which would otherwise be needed.
These “smart molecules” are in many cases discrete inorganic compounds of principal groups metals or transition metals where the ligands play an important role that is sometimes “not innocent”. So, the tailoring of ligands can alter the electronic structure properties and reactivity of metal centres.
With all of these pieces together, inorganic compounds as catalysis can be harnessed as an engine to satisfy multiple objectives.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
