Heterocyclic Chemistry with Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to the broad range of applications of heterocycles, including in materials science and medicine. Recently famed applications include those in synthesis, with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 being jointly awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis. Heterocycles are usually five or six-membered rings that are either fused or not fused onto other rings and that most often contain nitrogen atom(s) and/or oxygen atom(s). Many heterocycles have found applications as stable free radicals or as highly conjugated molecules in the photoredox catalysis of soft visible light-mediated reactions. I am therefore looking forward to receiving timeless research articles, communications, and reviews detailing the latest advances in heterocyclic chemistry with applications in medicinal, polymer, and synthetic chemistry, among others.

This Special Issue is running in parallel with another Special Issue called “Heterocycle Reaction” in our sister journal, Molbank: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/molbank/special_issues/Heterocycle_Reaction

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.
