Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are calling for potential contributions for this Special Issue, “State-of-the-Art Polymerization Catalysis”. This Special Issue will cover recent trends in metal-catalyzed polymerization, including olefin coordination insertion polymerization, metathesis polymerization, ring-opening polymerization, condensation polymerization, etc. This Special Issue thus includes (i) the synthesis of functional materials (polymers) by olefin polymerization and efficient carbon–carbon bond formation; (ii) the synthesis of metal complex catalysts for olefin polymerization/oligomerization; (iii) metal-catalyzed polymerizations; and (iv) organometallic reactions related to efficient carbon–carbon bond formation. The design of molecular catalysis clearly plays a very important role in the synthesis of functional materials through precise olefin polymerization. These efforts aim to contribute toward the development of sustainable green chemistry and a circular economy.
We hope this topic is of interest to you as we are taking the opportunity to look at recent developments as well as explore the future scope in this field.
If you would like to submit papers to this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house editor, Mr. Ives Liu (ives.liu@mdpi.com).

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.
