Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Organometallic chemistry is at the core of various aspects of science. The development and study of compounds that are characterized by novel bonding between carbon and metal atoms represents a cornerstone for chemists, enabling the discovery of novel and important concepts for organic and inorganic chemistry, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, main-group metal chemistry, material science, and many other fields. With this collection, we wish to highlight the latest developments in organometallic chemistry research carried out by European researchers, with a particular focus on methodologies. The scope of this collection covers the most important aspects of organometallic chemistry, including, for example, synthetic methods, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, mechanochemistry, photochemistry, organic materials, and mechanistic studies. Comprehensive or specific reviews are welcome.

Dr. Gianpiero Cera
Guest Editor

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Abstract
A chiral sodium glycerophosphate is successfully exploited as a catalyst in the Michael addition of methyl malonate to a number of chalcones. The reactions supplied the target adducts in satisfactory yields and good enantiomeric excesses. A tentative computational study is presented, aiming to [...] Read more.
