Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of the society has caused a substantial increase in the emission of pollutants and the generation of waste, which in turn have triggered serious environmental repercussions, ranging from the depletion of natural resources to climate change. Currently, there is a need to develop new chemical processes allowing the advancement of science, but, at the same time, respectful of the environment and allowing us to conserve our resources. Green chemistry is a constantly evolving interdisciplinary science providing a new way of looking at organic synthesis as it reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances, and allowing the development of new processes. Therefore, green synthesis and characterization are considered viable approaches for organic synthesis, as they is more biocompatible, inert, and environmentally safe.
Today, it is of great importance to establish more sustainable processes to reduce the use of harmful substances and cost of materials.
Thus, we wish to include papers regarding various topics related to novel green techniques and their application in organic synthesis and characterization. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome, including both qualitative and quantitative studies as well as empirical and theoretical contributions.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Process;
- Applications;
- Catalysis;
- Synthesis;
- Characterization;
- Environmental sustainability;
- Climate action.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
