Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Visible-light photoredox catalysis has received increasing interest in the last few decades as a powerful strategy enabling unprecedented transformations to be made in organic synthesis. Compared to other catalytic approaches, photoredox catalysis can allow powerful transformations under mild reaction conditions through the use of visible light as a renewable energy source. The use of many different transition metal complexes as photocatalysts has enabled the analysis of unprecedented organic reactions that were previously inaccessible via other means. This Special Issue covers the recent developments made in such photoactive transition metal complexes as well as their excited-state catalysis for the construction of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. This includes examples of innovative synthetic methodologies, new catalyst designs, photophysical properties, inner/outer sphere catalysis, as well as the transition metal photoredox processes of potential applications.

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.
