Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Boron chemistry is one of the most diverse and rapidly developing fields of modern chemistry. This is primarily due to the wide variety of compounds that boron is capable of forming, ranging from simple inorganic compounds such as oxides, nitrides and halides to organoboron compounds that play a huge role in organic synthesis, as well as unusual cluster structures in which an atypical electron-deficient bond is realized. Another reason is the wide variety of applications of boron and boron-containing compounds, including polymers, ceramics, heat-resistant materials, semiconductors, synthesis of organic fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medicines etc.
This Special Issue aims to collect data on the latest advances in synthetic and applied boron chemistry. We invite the submission of high-quality research on the synthesis, characterization, physical and chemical properties, reaction mechanisms as well as theoretical aspects and practical application of all types of boron compounds, including organoboron compounds, metal complexes with boron-based ligands and polyhedral boron clusters.
We are pleased to invite all researchers who are working in the area of boron chemistry to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue as an original research paper, communication or review.

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.
