Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The functionalization of C–H bonds has witnessed rapid development over the past two decades. It has become a powerful tool for chemists to forge C–X bonds in a totally untraditional way; a wide range of chemical bonds (e.g., C–C, C–O, C–N, C–halogen, C–B, C–Si, etc.) can be formed from C–H bonds. Applications of this technology are common in the syntheses of natural products, pharmaceutical agents, and materials. In addition to extensive investigations on the functionalizations of C–H bonds, studies on the selectivity of C–H functionalization have also garnered great interest.
The goal of this Special Issue is to collect original research papers and review articles devoted to all aspects of the selective functionalization of C–H bonds, which can occur either by transition metal-catalyzed pathways or radical processes.

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.
