Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Molecules titled “Organometallic Photochemistry: A Commemorative Special Issue Honoring Professor Alistair J. Lees”. This Special Issue is dedicated to celebrating the distinguished career and contributions of Professor Alistair J. Lees, a professor of chemistry and vice provost of faculty affairs at Binghamton University. As the Guest Editor and a former graduate student of Professor Lees, it is my great privilege to organize this issue in celebration of his remarkable contributions to the field. Professor Lees' pioneering research in organometallic photochemistry, supramolecular chemistry, photocatalysis, and molecular sensors and probes has significantly shaped our understanding of light-induced processes and their applications. To honor his profound impact, we welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that align with these topics.
Your expertise would greatly enrich this Special Issue, and we would be honored to include your contribution. If you are interested, please let us know at your earliest convenience. We would be happy to provide further details regarding the submission process and timeline. Thank you for considering this invitation. We look forward to your valuable contribution in celebrating Professor Lees' scientific achievements.
Prof. Dr. Shih-Sheng Sun
Guest Editor
