Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes reviews and original research articles on the synthesis and application of heteroatom-containing compounds involving heteroatoms such as N, O, S, P, and metals, including their corresponding heterocycles. Hot topics may include new synthetic methods and bioorganic chemistry related to heteroatomic derivatives, N-, O-, and S-heterocycles, as well as organometallic and organophosphorus species. Natural product chemistry (e.g., alkaloids and flavonoids) and macrocycles—including crown ethers and calixarenes—are also of interest, alongside relevant aspects of catalytic and green chemistry, organocatalysis, biocatalysis, phase transfer catalysis, as well as heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. Additional areas within the scope include P-ligands, C–C and P–C coupling reactions, click reactions, microwave chemistry, ionic liquids, flow chemistry, selective and asymmetric syntheses, and optical resolutions. Studies focused on bioactivity, mechanistic investigations, and theoretical analyses also fall within the remit of this Special Issue.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Molecules.

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.
