Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterocyclic chemistry has a rich history of more than 200 years of research. Starting in the 19th century with the isolation of furfural and pyrrole from natural sources, nowadays it is one of fastest developing branches of synthetic chemistry. The extraordinary amount of attention paid to heterocyclic compounds is due to their very high rate of occurrence in nature as well as their crucial role in drug design and the development of functional materials. Over the past three decades, the advancement of heterocyclic chemistry was especially boosted by the implementation of catalysis, and hundreds of methods for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds were published. Nevertheless, chemistry keeps surprising researchers with unusual, unexpected, and even tricky reactions leading to the formation of novel heterocyclic systems.
This Special Issue aims to familiarize readers with the most modern trends and achievements in the field of heterocyclic chemistry. We strongly encourage authors to submit original research articles, review papers, and short communications covering the last two decades of development in heterocyclic chemistry. We especially welcome research works involving the application of both metal catalysis and organocatalysis in the synthesis and functionalization of heterocyclic compounds. We are very excited to receive manuscripts devoted to the modern application of heterocycles in the field of medicinal chemistry and the development of functional materials.

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.
