Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tremendous advances have been made in base metal catalysis over the past decade. Several key properties of base metal catalysts, such as ready access to multiple oxidation states and facile single electron transfer process, have allowed the development of a broad range of innovative reactions. These new catalytic systems have proven to be extremely direct methods for some challenging C–C and C–X bond formations.
The objective of this Special Issue is to report on the most recent results obtained in this field, in particular as regards: i) novel transformations catalyzed by base metal complexes such as C–C, C–X bond formation, ring-opening, radical coupling; ii) well-designed ligands enabling base metal catalysts to be of high reactivity for C–H, C–X, and C–C bond activation.
All researchers working in this field are warmly invited to join this initiative by sending their contributions.
Prof. Dr. Liangbin Huang

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.
