Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Except for the lighter noble gases, oxygen is able to react with nearly all elements under formation of binary oxides. In case additional elements participate in the oxidation reaction, either multinary oxides or oxido compounds can be formed. The latter are characterized by anionic groups AxOyz− with a characteristic polyhedral shape and are known for the majority of chemical elements A. Just to name a few, borates [BO33−], carbonates [CO32−], nitrites [NO2−] and nitrates [NO3−], silicates [SiO44−], phosphates [PO43−], chromates [CrO42−], or tellurites [TeO32−] and tellurates [TeO66−] are typical representatives of oxido compounds. Various possible oxidation states of A and the ability to form hydrated and/or condensed anions considerably widens this ubiquitous class of compounds. Oxido compounds not only represent the clear majority of minerals and rocks in the earth’s crust but are likewise of paramount interest in chemical and physical sciences and are present in technology with multitudinous applications.
In this Special Issue, we invite investigators working in a wide range of disciplines to submit articles or communications reporting the synthesis, structural characterisation, and properties of new inorganic oxido compounds. Some topics that may be covered by these contributions are listed below as keywords. However, the keywords are considered only as a guideline — this Special Issue is open for a much greater number of topics or sub-topics and is intended to show the broadness and importance of the research area with respect to inorganic oxido compounds.

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.

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.
