Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The past decade has witnessed incredible advances in organofluorine chemistry on many fronts, including the development of new and improved electrophilic and nucleophilic fluorinating agents, the discovery of new synthetic methods involving fluorinated radicals, electrochemical fluorination, selective fluorine introduction into building blocks of pharmaceuticals, stereoselective fluorination methods, the synthesis and application of fluorinated moieties using cross-coupling, fluorinated organo-catalysts, fluorinated solvents and additives, and fluorinated bioactive compounds and drug candidates. The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together contributions from active researchers in the field and inform the reader of these advances.

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. Organics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
