Organosulfur and Organoselenium Chemistry II

Dear Colleagues,

Sulfur- and selenium-containing compounds are important in organic synthesis. These sulfur- and selenium-containing molecules are not only widely applied in pharmaceuticals, materials, natural products, biology, etc., but they are also useful building blocks in organic synthesis. Additionally, sulfur and selenium show divergent functions and potencies in different oxidative states, which has led to the rich chemistry of sulfur and selenium in organic synthesis. The diversified oxidation states enable sulfur and selenium to acquire significant functions for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the development of pharmaceuticals. The unique optical and electronic properties of sulfur and selenium also make this element indispensable in organic photoconducting materials and batteries.

Molecules plans to publish a Special Issue comprising high-quality contributions by top researchers in the fields of organosulfur and organoselenium chemistry. This Special Issue invites original papers and reviews reporting on recent progress in the development of novel organosulfur and organoselenium chemistry. In this Special Issue, we hope to offer insights into different research areas of organosulfur and organoselenium chemistry by active researchers in the relevant field. The topics include the synthesis and transformation of sulfur- and selenium-containing compounds and their application in polymers, organic semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemical and food chemistry.

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.
