Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Copper is a major industrial metal, used in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture, and biomimetic compounds. Its widespread use, alongside its cost, accessibility, and biocompatibility, has led several researchers to place it at the center of their studies, with various applications. Therefore, a Special Issue dedicated to this metal is essential and of the utmost importance.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute original research articles and reviews discussing current research, uses, and future applications of copper complexes in catalytic, bio-inorganic, industrial, environmental, medical, and microbiological applications, which are within the scope of this journal.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. William Castro
Guest Editor

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 2200 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The structural aspects of homo-chromophores in Cu(I)(XXX) complexes, where X3 = N3, C3, Cl3, S3, P3, Br3, or I3, are analyzed in this study. These copper(I) derivatives crystallize in five distinct crystal systems as follows: rhombohedral (1 example), trigonal (1 example), orthorhombic (4 examples), triclinic (5 examples), and monoclinic (15 examples). The angular distortion from regular trigonal geometry increases in the following order: Cu(ClClCl) < Cu(NNN) < Cu(PPP) < Cu(BrBrBr) < Cu(III) < Cu(CCC) < Cu(SSS). For Cu(I)(XX) complexes, the deviation from linear geometry increases in the order: Cu(SeSe) < Cu(SS) < Cu(OO) < Cu(ClCl) < Cu(NN) < Cu(CC) < Cu(PP) < Cu(BrBr). The structural parameters of Cu(I)(XXX) are examined, discussed, and compared with those of homonuclear Cu(I)(XX) complexes. Full article
