Chemistry and Applications of Compounds Containing Quinoline or Isoquinoline Structure

Dear Colleagues,

Quinoline and isoquinoline structural motifs are found in the molecular structures of countless natural and synthetic compounds, and more and more new ones are still prepared synthetically or isolated from natural materials. Moreover, the properties of these compounds and their combinations with other substances are the subject of many studies. The reason is their versatile use and that they are interesting from different points of view. Not infrequently, their research also brings surprising results. These facts call for the systematic creation of collections of papers that deal with them, thereby facilitating researchers to acquire or maintain an overview of them.

This Special Issue is focused on original research papers and reviews in the above-mentioned class of compounds, which deal with the syntheses of new compounds, novel synthetic approaches, isolations from natural materials, structure elucidations, new findings on chemical reactivity or possible synthetic utilization, as well as biological or physical properties and applications.

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.
