Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Light-driven organic chemical transformations have become a hot topic in organic synthesis in the last years. In this context, photocatalysis using visible-light has emerged as an efficient tool for generating structural complexity and for straightforward synthesis of complex molecules. The focus of this Special Issue is to present papers that cover the synthesis of a single compound or a family of compounds using photocatalysis. All contributions on this topic are encouraged. Sufficient experimental details and characterization data should be included to facilitate other researchers in accessing the new compounds

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. Molbank is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 500 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.
