Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The search for new non-waste chemical starting materials and technological schemes or, in other words, “Green Chemistry,” which is being developed in many laboratories around the world, is designed to obtain the desired substance in such a way that, ideally, it does not harm the environment at all stages of its production. Green chemistry, as a prerequisite for the sustainable development of society, is now at the forefront all over the world. Sustainable development refers to the development of new approaches, methods, and techniques that allow one, first, to reduce the strong dependence on natural resources (oil, gas, etc.), whose sources are known to be exhaustible, by using other, renewable resources (for example, biomass) and, second, to find new renewable energy sources necessary for the sustenance of mankind. Most current synthetic methods for producing new compounds are based on stoichiometric reactions, which are usually associated with the generation of large amounts of waste. On the other hand, catalytic methods are promising technologies for solving energy and environmental problems, which can help transform pollutants into non-toxic or even useful chemical compounds. Thus, this Special Issue, “Molecular Research on Catalytic Materials for Green Chemistry,” is devoted to solving the above-mentioned problems by means of catalytic chemistry, which includes both theoretical (attempts to create a theory of anticipating catalytic action and a theory of preparing catalysts, advancing knowledge of the mechanisms of catalysis) and practical (methods for selecting, synthesizing, and applying catalysts) problems for various fields of science, technology, and engineering. Our main goal is to provide researchers working in this field with an opportunity to communicate their experimental and theoretical results as well as reviews, perspectives, and viewpoints to the general public.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
