4th Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE) Days Meeting 2022

Dear Colleagues,

The Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE) is one of the oldest chemical research units in Portugal. Ranked as Excellent, it integrates the Institute for Molecular Sciences, a recently created Associated Laboratory. Its multi- and interdisciplinary research is organized around four Thematic Lines, linked to major societal challenges: (1) Synthesis, Catalysis and Reactivity; (2) Materials, Soft Matter and NanoChemistry; (3) Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment, Energy, and Manufacturing; (4) Medicinal and Biological Chemistry for Health.

This Special Issue will cover the research performed at Centro de Química Estrutural (CQE) mostly during the 4th edition of the CQE Days meeting, with the intent of sharing the most recent research findings. The list of topics is not confined to those presented in the meeting, and manuscripts discussing advances in methodologies and effects on chemical or biological processes, including experimental, computational, and/or simulation studies are welcomed. Synthesis, catalysis, materials, nanochemistry, chemistry for the environment, energy, and medicinal and biological studies are topics of interest to this issue.
