Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photoredox catalysis has emerged as an attractive tool for organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. The application of visible light-induced processes can greatly accelerate drug discovery programs and pharmaceutical research, through sustainable and environmentally compatible one-step reactions.
In this Special Issue, “Photoredox Catalysis for Sustainable Chemical Synthesis/Medicinal Chemistry”, we invite papers related to new methodology enabled by photoredox catalysis, development and application of new photocatalysts, natural products and biologically active molecules synthesis using photoredox catalysis, and relevant mechanism studies. We also invite papers that describe new platforms for assessing the bioactivity of lead molecules through photoredox processes, enable structure–activity relationship studies, and facilitate hit-to-lead library development. Papers related to electrophotocatalysis, metallaphotoredox catalysis, photo-organocatalysis, and on-scale photoredox processes for drug discovery are also encouraged.

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.
