Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since its foundation, the Mexican Academy of Organic Chemistry (AMQO) has organized annual meetings at various universities across Mexico. These events bring together students, researchers, and industry professionals to share and discuss the latest trends and advancements in organic chemistry and related fields, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.
This Special Issue celebrates the 20th anniversary of AMQO, featuring contributions from leading research groups that have played a key role in the academy’s development and growth over the years.
Although AMQO primarily focuses on organic chemistry, this special edition takes a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing various branches of chemistry sciences, including natural products, organometallic chemistry, supramolecular, inorganic, theoretical, analytical, environmental chemistry, materials science, biochemistry and chemical engineering, among others.
This anniversary not only marks two decades of scientific progress but also reaffirms AMQO’s commitment to strengthening research and education in Chemistry, solidifying its role as a cornerstone of Mexico’s scientific and technological development.
