Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
This Special Issue will cover the following topics: modern synthetic approaches to macrocycles synthesis, with an emphasis on metal-catalyzed reactions, macrocycles with various types of chirality, and macrocycles with unusual heteroatoms and (hetero)aromatic endocyclic moieties. Much attention will also be paid to the following aspects of the application of macrocycles: coordination with metal cations; inorganic and organic anions; organic polar molecules; and the abilities of macrocycles for molecular detection and recognition, including colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensors based on macrocyclic compounds. Another subdivision of the chemistry of macrocycles is naturally occurring macrocyclic compounds—synthetic macrocycles possessing various biological activity.

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.
