Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organofluorine has received unprecedented attention due to its unique chemical and physical properties and biological activities. Fluorine-containing compounds have been proved to be of enormous value in the areas of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and material science. As a result, there is growing interest in developing novel methods for the installation of fluorine and fluorine-containing functional groups in organic compounds. In line with this, significant progress has been achieved in developing novel strategies and fluorinated reagents, among them, fluorination, trifluoromethylation, difluoromethylation, perfluoroalkylation, trifluoromethoxylation trifluoromethylthioation and difluoromethylthioation, which have dominated in organofluorine chemistry.
Despite the recent progress in organofluorine chemistry, the field goes far behind the growing needs of both the industrial and academic community. In this Special Issue, we hope to gather the latest research trends in organofluorine chemistry, including the synthesis of fluorine-containing compounds and development of new methodologies. We welcome the submission of both original research papers and critical reviews on organofluorine chemistry.

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.
