Ruthenium Complex
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This hot topic issue of Molecules covers challenging aspects on the design and application of a broad series of ruthenium complexes in catalysis, synthesis of bioactive organic and organometallic compounds, unnatural and natural compounds of biological relevance, chemotherapeutic treatment, supra-molecular chemistry, and materials sciences. Special attention is devoted to recent developments in the synthesis and characterization of coordination and organometallic ruthenium compounds, as well as to selected chemical transformations promoted by highly active and chemo-selective ruthenium-based catalytic systems. Such transformations include C-H and C-X bond activation, hydrogenation and hydrogen transfer reactions, oxidation and hydroxylation, olefin metathesis and related C-C coupling reactions, and isomerization, oligomerization, and polymerization reactions. Topics will be devoted to novel mono- and bi-nuclear ruthenium compounds, complexes with diverse chiral ligands, and ruthenium antitumor agents. Cutting-edge applications in biology and medicine, catalysis, materials science, petrochemicals, and agrochemicals will be covered while disclosing the most relevant trends in future development.

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.
