Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect research and review contributions focused on recent advances in fundamental and applications of ferrocene compounds, as well as some memories from the history of ferrocene chemistry.
In 2021, the world chemical community will celebrate the 70th anniversary of this unique compound discovery. Over the past few years, the rapid development of the chemistry of so-called sandwich compounds has led to the synthesis of new substances with various properties. Among them, there are catalysts for the combustion of solid rocket fuels, and a cure for anemia, and potential drugs for the treatment of malaria, cancer, and tuberculosis.
We invite researchers in the fields of ferrocene chemistry, computer chemistry, biology, medicine, materials, catalysis, and history of science in this Special Issue. We are sure that historical overviews or notes will be of interest not only to scientists, but also to young people who are starting to engage in science, or who are interested in science.
Prof. Dr. Lubov Snegur

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. Inorganics 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.
