Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photoredox catalysis has played an important role in the development of contemporary synthetic chemistry. Many researchers in chemistry ranging from biomedical to materials science are quickly adopting the use of photoredox catalysis as a mild means of achieving unique chemical reactivity. The special role of organic photocatalysts compared to their metal counterparts has been documented in many papers, revealing their access to unique chemistries and a broad range of substrates that are unreactive in most synthetic contexts. Despite the significant advances in the field of organic photoredox catalysis, there remain many opportunities for further exploration.
This Special Issue is devoted to the applications of new organic photocatalysts in organic synthesis. Reviews and original research papers are welcomed on all aspects of heterogeneous and homogeneous photocatalytic processes involving the use of organic photocatalysts.
The Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, photocatalysis developments and applications for:
- Photocatalytic mechanisms and kinetics;
- Photophysical characterization of new organic photocatalysts;
- New radical precursors in photocatalytic reactions;
- The formation of carbon-heteroatom bonds using photocatalytic reactions;
- The application of organic photocatalysts in the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched compounds;
- The synthesis of biologically active compounds or their precursors using organocatalytic reactions;
- Solar-driven photocatalytic processes;
- Pilot- and full-scale applications.

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.
