Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organoselenium compounds have a great impact on several research fields, such as organic synthesis, materials science, and bioorganic as well as medicinal chemistry. These reagents are well known as electrophiles, nucleophiles, and radicals, and their use as catalysts has been largely explored, introducing new important aspects to modern selenium chemistry. Moreover, owing to their characteristic redox behavior, they can be exploited in a variety of synthetically useful transformations and play crucial roles in several biologically processes. Extensive studies on selenium-containing species in biological and medicinal contexts are underway, with particular attention to small-molecule-containing species. Given the widespread interest, a number of new methodologies and applications of selenium compounds continue to appear every year in the literature. This Special Issue aims to present a collection of original research papers, reviews, and short communications focused on any of the abovementioned topics in organoselenium compound 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.
