Catalysis for Green Chemistry II

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Second Edition of “Catalysis for Green Chemistry”.

Synthetic chemistry has greatly enriched people’s lives and dramatically changed the world in every aspect due to its impressive capacity to construct diverse functional groups and structurally complex molecules. However, traditional synthetic reactions normally suffer from low atom economy, harsh conditions, as well as hazardous waste production. Recently, the general principles of green chemistry have required the design of environmentally benign organic reactions, which is of great importance for the sustainable development of our society. Therein, it is pivotal to achieve new catalytic strategies for organic synthesis guided by the connotations of green chemistry.

The goal of this Special Issue is to collect original research papers and review articles devoted to all aspects of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis for green chemistry, including metal catalysis, organocatalysis, photocatalysis, and biocatalysis. Submission of manuscripts describing green catalytic technologies such as flow chemistry, multiphase catalysis, green reagents and solvents, catalyst immobilization, and recycling is also encouraged.

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.
