Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of organic synthesis has witnessed remarkable advancements, with photocatalysis emerging as a powerful tool for achieving efficient and sustainable chemical transformations. The utilization of light as an energy source in conjunction with catalytic systems has enabled the development of novel synthetic methodologies. Among these, photocatalytic cyclization reactions have garnered significant attention, offering a versatile approach for the construction of diverse heterocyclic compounds.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest breakthroughs in the realm of photocatalytic cyclization for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. The unique reactivity and selectivity afforded by photocatalysis have opened new avenues for the assembly of complex molecular structures, facilitating the exploration of diverse chemical space. Contributions to this issue encompass a broad spectrum of research, spanning innovative catalyst design, mechanistic insights, and applications of photocatalytic strategies to access a variety of heterocyclic motifs.
We invite researchers from academia and industry to share their cutting-edge findings, methodologies, and perspectives on the evolving landscape of photocatalytic cyclization in heterocyclic compound synthesis. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the field while inspiring further advancements in this exciting and rapidly expanding area of research.

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.
