Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cycloaddition reactions provide a powerful tool for the synthesis of a wide range of carbo- and heterocyclic molecular systems. The resulting compounds often exhibit unique properties that enable their application across various fields, including polymer chemistry, materials science, and medicinal chemistry, where their bioactivity plays a crucial role.
Most cycloaddition processes proceed with high yields and selectivity. Moreover, reaction conditions can be optimized to minimize byproduct formation, aligning well with the principles of green chemistry.
This Special Issue on “Methods and Applications of Cycloaddition Reactions” aims to highlight various aspects of cycloaddition reactions, including both methodological advancements and practical applications of the obtained products. We particularly encourage the submission of experimental studies detailing innovative approaches to conducting cycloaddition reactions.
Additionally, we welcome theoretical studies focusing on electron density analysis applied to synthetic strategies, reaction mechanisms, and the prediction of biological properties of the obtained compounds. Review articles authored by experts in the field will also be highly appreciated.
We look forward to your contributions.
Dr. Agnieszka Łapczuk

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.
