Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
1,2,3-triazole derivatives represent a privileged class of nitrogen-containing heterocycles with immense significance across diverse scientific disciplines. Their synthesis has been revolutionized by the advent of click chemistry, particularly the highly efficient, regioselective, and modular copper(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction founded by Sharpless and Meldal Groups at the beginning of this century, allowing for rapid generation of extensive libraries of structurally diverse derivatives. The unique structural features of the triazole ring—including stability under physiological conditions, hydrogen bonding capability, dipole moment, and robust aromatic character—contribute to its remarkable versatility. Consequently, 1,2,3-triazole derivatives exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities, driving extensive exploration in pharmaceutical chemistry as potent antimicrobials, anticancer agents, antivirals, anti-inflammatory agents, and CNS modulators. Beyond medicinal chemistry, these compounds find crucial applications as agrochemicals, corrosion inhibitors for metals, fluorescent sensors and probes, ligands in catalysis, and building blocks for functional polymers and advanced materials. Moreover, 1,2,3-triazole derivatives play remarkable roles in organic synthesis, participating in both ring-retaining and ring-opening processes.
This Special Issue invites original papers and reviews focusing on 1,2,3-triazoles, including their original synthesis, direct modifications, transannulative transformations, and applications in various fields.

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).
