Recent Advances in the Field of Non-common Heteroatom-Containing, Optically Active Molecules

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted advances in the chemistry of optically active compounds containing non-common heteroatoms, like S, P, Si, and B. The asymmetric center(s) may be in the heteroatom itself or in other parts of the molecular structure. The Special Issue welcomes regular research papers, reviews, and short communications in this field. Relevant topics include asymmetric hetereoatom-contacting organic and organometallic syntheses, and optical resolutions. Synthetic strategies and methodologies, applications of chiral auxiliaries or catalysts, transition metal complexes of P-ligands, the application of homogeneous catalysis, methods for the separation of enantiomers, theoretical or spectroscopic aspects, as well as physicochemical or biological activities of stereoisomers may be discussed in this scientific paper.

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-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.
