Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chiral compounds play an integral role in chemical engineering, industry, medicine, food, and our life systems. For many applications of chiral compounds, the racemic forms will no longer be accepted. As a consequence, enantioselective synthesis in general, and of enantioselective catalysis in particular, has become more important.Asymmetric catalysis is among the most important issues in chemical synthesis, not only at an academic level, but also in the field of the industrial production of fine chemicals, given that catalytic enantioselective transformations are very often key steps in the preparation of fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. In an asymmetric catalytic process, chiral information is transferred to the substrate.The aim of this Special Issue is to advance the knowledge on the rational design of homogeneous or heterogeneous asymmetric catalysts, phase transfer catalyst and immobilized complexes or enzymes, kinetic resolution, symmetric/asymmetric catalyzed reaction systems, etc.As Guest Editors it is our pleasure to invite you to contribute with original research papers, reviews, editorials, and short communications.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
