Derivatization in Analytical Chemistry-II

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of our first Special Issue on Analytical Derivatization in the journal Molecules (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules/special_issues/derivatization_analytical_chemistry), we are pleased to announce the launch of a follow-up SI under the title “Derivatization in Analytical Chemistry—II”.

Derivatization is one of the most widely used sample pretreatment techniques in analytical chemistry and chemical analysis. Reagent-based or reagent-less schemes offer improved detectability of target compounds, modification of the chromatographic properties, and/or stabilization of sensitive compounds until analysis. Either coupled to separation techniques or as a “standalone” analytical procedure, derivatization offers endless possibilities in all aspects of analytical applications.  

The present Special Issue aims to cover the latest research trends and applications of analytical derivatization. Researchers working on all aspects of basic research and applications of derivatization in food, environmental, and biomedical sciences are cordially invited to contribute a research or review article in this Special Issue.

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-anonymized 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.
