Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent positive impact of the first edition of our Special Issue, "Advances in the Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds and their Applications", prompted us to continue with a second edition on the same topic. This second edition aims to explore two interfaces: human life and the environment.
In this view, previous strategies, "heteroring synthesis" and "substituent modification" (and their combination), require an updated definition because of two conceptual approaches, namely "covalent" vs. "non-covalent", with reference to all types of heteromolecules, from the smallest to (supramolecular) 2- or 3D nano-architectures (dendrimers, MOFs, COFs, etc.), without neglecting the still "exotic" molecular machines.
Subject to all evolutionary facets of heterocyclic chemistry, perpetual developments reimagined within the current field of organic heterosynthesis (strategies, methodologies, reaction mechanisms, reagents, catalysts, chemical and instrumental auxiliaries) nevertheless obey two crucial common denominators, "selectivity" vs. “specificity” (these terms being, equally, preceded by typical prefixes, either chemo-, regio- or stereo-), as a mandatory criteriums.
This Special Issue of Molecules is intended to gather research articles, communications, and review papers that provide an overview of the latest progresses in synthetic methodologies and chemical technologies targeting heteromolecules, mainly those related to their near-future, defined as "atomic precision" in chemical reactivity. The sustainability of these efforts, involving intrinsic chemical diversity, is expected to highlight innovative applications of heterocyclic compounds to human life and the environment.

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.
