Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Considering the success of the first Special Issue in this field, it is my great pleasure to announce the second edition of “The Latest Trends in Catalyst Immobilization”.
Although the anchoring of a catalyst onto a (solid) support is a well-established methodology that dates back into the past, research into this field is still very active. The immobilization of a catalyst offers the possibility of an easy recovery and recycling of the catalyst itself, developments which will facilitate the recovery of the desired product without the need of an extra purification step. For these reasons, immobilized catalysts represent a key tool for the development of a modern and sustainable chemistry. The possibility of confining an immobilized catalyst into a packed-bed reactor, thus realizing a continuous flow process, has paved the way to the development of efficient and sustainable processes that combine the benefits of flow chemistry with the features of immobilized catalysts. Many catalytic reactions with supported catalysts—organic and metal-based, chiral and achiral—have been already implemented in flow, thus making this field more active and attractive. The contribution of biocatalysis to this research area has helped to induce tremendous progress in recent years, placing a powerful methodology in the hands of the synthetic organic chemist for the development of efficient and highly stereoselective catalytic reactions.
This Special Issue, entitled “Latest Trends in Catalyst Immobilization II”, has been prompted by the increasing attention that the field of immobilized catalysts has continuously received. Herein, we will present cutting-edge research works, focusing on both different aspects of catalyst heterogenization (design, synthesis and characterization) and on the use of new catalytic systems in batch and in flow.

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.
