Recent Advances in Continuous Flow Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Continuous flow chemistry, whether organic, inorganic, or catalytic synthesis, is radically changing the way molecules and chemical intermediates are produced. As a result, various chemical and pharmaceutical industries are now investing in this innovative technology in research and/or production. In the context of process intensification, the development of innovative technologies associated with continuous flow, such as assisted catalysis, microwave chemistry, sonochemistry, photochemistry, mechanochemistry, and electrochemistry, has emerged in recent years and has constituted a real scientific breakthrough. For almost all chemical transformations, the combination of non-conventional activation and continuous flow has emerged as a tool to meet the expectations of the academic and industrial chemical world in terms of green chemistry and sustainable development.

This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in continuous flow chemistry and welcomes original research papers, reviews, and commentaries from the field. The potential topics include organic synthesis, homo- and heterogeneous catalysis, biocatalysis microwave chemistry, photochemistry, sonochemistry, mechanochemistry, and electrochemistry in flow systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
