Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry and asymmetry are fascinating topics in chemistry. The Special Issue entitled “Chemistry: Symmetry/Asymmetry—Feature Reviews and Papers” covers a wide range of topics related to symmetry or asymmetry in chemistry. Papers submitted to Symmetry may include all types of symmetry-related problems in chemistry. All organic chemists, theoretical chemists, and crystal chemists are invited to submit papers focusing on, but not limited to, the following emerging research topics in related areas:
- Chirality;
- Enantiomers;
- Diastereomers;
- Molecular symmetry;
- Plane of symmetry;
- Asymmetric carbon;
- Optically active compounds;
- Stereocenter;
- Homochirality;
- Symmetry elements;
- Mirror plane;
- Molecular chirality;
- Asymmetric synthesis;
- Optical resolution;
- X-ray crystallography;
- X-ray structures;
- Crystal structures;
- Homochirality in chemistry and biochemistry;
- Symmetry and spectroscopy;
- Symmetry and isomerism;
- Homochirality in the origin of life;
- Chirogenesis;
- Stereoselective synthesis;
- Chiral ligands.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
