Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, heterocyclic compounds form the basis of a wide range of natural products. These compounds find wide applications in pharmaceuticals, plant protection products, and compounds with biological activity. The presence of a heteroatom in the ring gives these compounds special properties. Therefore, research on the structure, synthesis, properties, and applications of heterocyclic compounds is an important aspect in understanding these compounds.
In this context, the primary objective of this Special Issue, titled “Synthesis, Properties and Applications of Functional Heterocyclic Compounds and Related Materials”, is to gather recent research about the synthesis, properties and applications of heterocyclic compounds and related materials. We sincerely invite researchers and scholars in the fields of chemistry and pharmaceuticals to contribute to this Special Issue on heterocyclic compounds. Your valuable research work and insights will greatly contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this area. We look forward to receiving your submissions of original research articles or review articles based on reporting on current advances in this field. This Special Issue’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel synthetic approaches, applications, and biological activity research.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
