N,O,S-Donor Ligands and Metal Complexes: From Structural Characterization to Biological and Catalytic Applications
This special issue belongs to the section "Applied Chemistry".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been significant progress in research on N,O,S-donor ligands and their metal complexes. Due to their unique coordinating properties, these ligands have broad applications in coordination chemistry, catalysis, and biomimetics. Metal complexes with N,O,S-donor ligands play a key role in fundamental research and industrial and biomedical applications.
The goal of this Special Issue is to gather the latest research findings in the following areas:
- Synthesis and modification of N,O,S-donor ligands.
- Structural and spectroscopic characterization of metal complexes.
- Theoretical modeling and DFT calculations.
- Applications in catalysis and industrial processes.
- Biomedical and biological applications of metal complexes with N,O,S-donor ligands.

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.
