Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Visible light-promoted fluoroalkylation reactions have great value in synthetic chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of new compounds for medicine, agriculture, materials science, and more. These reactions have advantages such as gentler reaction conditions, improved selectivity, and sustainability. This Special Issue provides an opportunity for researchers and readers to learn about this field and its potential applications. The latest advances, such as new photosensitizers, different fluoroalkylating agents, and optimized reaction conditions, are showcased, which can accelerate the development of useful molecules and help progress in various fields.
Articles and review papers are welcome and may include the following topics:
- Development of novel photosensitizers for efficient visible light-promoted fluoroalkylation reactions;
- Use of organic dyes as photosensitizers in visible light-promoted fluoroalkylation reactions;
- Exploration of different fluorinated alkenes and alcohols as fluoroalkylating agents to expand the scope of the reaction;
- Investigation of reaction mechanisms to gain insight into reaction pathways and improve reaction efficiency;
- Optimization of reaction conditions to achieve high efficiency, selectivity, and scalability in fluoroalkylation reactions;
- Development of green and sustainable methods for visible light-promoted fluoroalkylation reactions;
- Application of visible light-promoted fluoroalkylation reactions in the synthesis of novel drug candidates and materials;
- Integration of visible light-promoted fluoroalkylation reactions with other synthetic methodologies to enable the rapid synthesis of complex molecules.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
