Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Selenium (Se) has recently become an important element in a diverse range of research fields, such as biology, biomimetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis, material science, etc., owing to its characteristic redox behaviors, which are similar but discretely different from those of sister chalcogen elements such as sulfur (S) and tellurium (Te). In this special issue of Molecules, we invite original research articles and reviews on related topics, focusing on the latest advances in selenium catalysts and antioxidants.
