Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
If something has happened in the last decades it is a true revolution in the science of colloids and especially those that can be used to reproduce "in vitro" certain biological aspects, such as chemical reactions that can take place at the cellular level, the movements of substances through membranes or the behavior of finished molecules in restricted media.
On the other hand, these colloidal aggregates have a great capacity to solubilize compounds and have hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties depending on the loci of the compounds in these microheterogeneous systems, thus constituting an interesting alternative to phase transfer catalysts. They also constitute a chemical nanoreactor of a scalable size that is ideal for its use in the synthesis of new nanomaterials.
In this special issue of Compounds, we intend to compile original scientific contributions or bibliographic reviews that deal precisely with reactivity (both organic and inorganic) in these microheterogeneous media, as well as different catalytic processes that take place when chemical reactions are carried out using them as means of reaction.

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. Compounds is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
