Catalysis for Functionalization Reaction of Hydrocarbons Compounds

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the crucial field of catalysis for the functionalization reaction of hydrocarbon compounds, aiming to explore the latest advancements and innovations in this area. The background lies in the increasing importance of efficient and selective catalytic processes for transforming hydrocarbon compounds into valuable products. The scope encompasses various aspects, including the development of novel catalysts, understanding the reaction mechanisms, optimizing reaction conditions and exploring the application of these reactions in different industrial sectors. This Special Issue provides a platform for authors and readers to share their research findings, exchange ideas and contribute to the advancement of this field, ultimately driving the development of more efficient and sustainable catalytic processes for the functionalization of hydrocarbon compounds.

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. Catalysts 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 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.
