Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Transition-metal-catalyzed reaction represents an important method towards the synthesis of structurally diverse organic compounds and has therefore attracted extensive attention from chemists in academic and industry. In particular, the development of green synthetic methodologies is of great significance due to the requirements of green chemistry. In this regard, numerous transformations involving radical chemistry, photocatalytic reactions, asymmetric catalysis, cycloisomerization, etc. have been achieved by employing effective transition-metal catalysts in a step- or atom-econonical manner over the past decades. Upon these progresses, the development of efficient and green transformations is still in high demand.

This Special Issue herein provides a platform for corresponding researchers to contribute their recent works concerning green organic synthesis and discuss the perspectives on challenges and future directions in this area.

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. Catalysts 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 2700 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.
