Special Issue Information
Cycloaddition reactions are among the most important reactions in organic chemistry, allowing the construction of any cyclic compound. The specific use of cycloaddition reactions also encompasses highly synthetically useful reactions that provide access to 4-, 5-, and 6-membered rings with excellent stereocontrol. It is well recognized that cycloaddition reactions are among the most powerful and commonly used methodologies in organic synthesis, which are used to construct various molecules that are important in industry and demonstrate biological activity.
This Special Issue, titled “Modern application of cycloaddition reactions: experimental and theoretical research”, covers the most recent trends in the field of cycloaddition reactions. In particular, we invite researchers to submit review articles on their experimental perspectives, properties, biological activities, and potential applications, as well as theoretical research.

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.
