Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the next 20 years, the world is facing huge challenges, as the climate crisis and the need for nutrition and medical care for a growing population under the limitation of sustainable development take hold. At the same time, in some parts of the world, the population is not growing anymore but aging. This has socio-economic consequences and also calls for improved medical care. These problems might be frightening. However, I do not call the upcoming situation “catastrophic”, but choose the term “challenge” as I believe that science, engineering, and medicine will find solutions. For me as an Inorganic Chemist, an important question is whether Inorganic Chemistry will be an important part of the urgently needed problem-solving processes. Or to put it in the words of the title: “Are we relevant” in our research?
In this Special Issue of Molecules we will address this question by presenting review articles on recent developments and new directions in Inorganic Chemistry research. I am sure that this issue will show that we are “relevant”.

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.
