Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, flow chemistry has attracted the interest of chemists specializing in organic synthesis for many reasons. In terms of selectivity, performing reactions in continuous flow enables a more precise control of heating and mixing, avoiding the formation of side products due to parasite alternative pathways. Continuous flow apparatus helps to facilitate the optimal control of exothermic reactions as well, making the so-called “run-away reactions” safer than in conventional reactors. Furthermore, continuous flow technology creates build-up reactors with heterogeneous catalysts, which opens the gate to performing reactions in continuous mode in order to increase the turnover number (TON) of processes carried out for industrial and more economical purposes. In the field of photocatalysis, flow chemistry can improve light harvesting due to smaller channel dimensions of the flow reactor. There are many benefits in using catalysis driven by flow chemistry, and this Special Issue aims to collect the latest innovative disclosures on this topic.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
