Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cobalt is the most earth abundant element of the group 9 transition metals. Due to its abundancy and reactivity, researchers have found a broad application of cobalt catalysts to transform simple starting materials to complex target molecules. In addition, nowadays a great emphasis is placed on the development of sustainable catalysis by replacing noble transition metals with cheaper alternatives, and at this point cobalt has stood out as promising alternative due to its unique reactivity. In this Special Issue, researchers are welcomed to submit original research papers, as well as review articles that highlight the key achievements and current trends for the use of cobalt complexes in a diverse range of catalytic transformations, e.g., C-H bond functionalization reactions, hydrogenation, cycloaddition, cross-coupling, as well as radical reactions.

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.

The C-H bond activation and functionalization is a powerful tool that provides efficient access to various organic molecules. The cobalt-catalyzed oxidative C-H bond activation and functionalization has earned enormous interest over the past two decades. Since then, a wide diversity of synthetic protocols have been published for C-C, C-Het, and C-Hal bond formation reactions. To gain some insights into the reaction mechanism, the authors performed a series of experiments and collected evidence. Several groups have successfully isolated reactive Co(III) intermediates to elucidate the reaction mechanism. In this review, we will summarize information concerning the isolated and synthesized Co(III) intermediates in cobalt-catalyzed, bidentate chelation assisted C-H bond functionalization and their reactivity based on the current knowledge about the general reaction mechanism.
