Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted world of organometallic compounds, focusing on their design, synthesis, and diverse applications. Organometallic compounds, at the intersection of organic and inorganic chemistry, offer a rich playground for researchers to explore. The scope encompasses the rational design of novel organometallic complexes, including ligand design, metal coordination, and structural elucidation. Synthesis methodologies, ranging from traditional organic synthesis techniques to advanced organometallic methodologies, will be highlighted. Moreover, this Special Issue will showcase the broad range of applications for organometallic compounds across various fields, such as catalysis, materials science, medicinal chemistry, polymers, and beyond. From catalyzing key chemical transformations to serving as building blocks for innovative materials and polymers, organometallic compounds play a pivotal role in advancing modern science and technology. Contributions exploring strategies to combine theory and experiment techniques, as well as those addressing emerging trends and challenges in the field, are encouraged. Overall, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and future directions in organometallic chemistry.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
