Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laurent Maron completed a PhD in theoretical chemistry at Toulouse University, France, and a PhD in theoretical physics at Stockholm University, in 1999. After a post-doctoral stay in the group of O. Eisenstein in Montpellier sponsored by Michelin, he was appointed as Assistant Professor in Toulouse in 2001 and was promoted to Full Professor in 2008. In 2006, he was appointed Junior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France, then Senior Member in 2019. He was also awarded an experienced researcher fellowship from the Humboldt Foundation (Germany) and from the Chinese Academy of Science (Shanghai). His research is carried out in synergy with experimental groups worldwide. This research is based on the rationalization of the electronic structure and reactivity of s-, p-, d- and f-block metal complexes. In particular, he played a pioneering role with O. Eisenstein in the development of theoretical studies of the chemistry of f-block elements. In particular, thanks to his contributions and collaborations with various experimental groups around the world, leaders in this field, he has been able to demonstrate that f elements can modify synthetic approaches long considered the prerogative of rich metals. His work has also enabled the understanding of the mechanisms governing the stoichiometric and catalytic activation of small inert molecules such as CO or CO2 using s, p, d or f metal complexes.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research papers or comprehensive reviews that demonstrate or summarize significant advances in Computational Chemistry, Density functional theory, Molecular Dynamics, and Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Catalysis.

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. Molecules 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 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.
