Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In our daily lives, heterocyclic compounds are extremely important. One or more hetero atoms can be found in the structure of heterocyclic substances. The uses of heterocyclic compounds are numerous. They have been widely explored and applied in medicines, agrochemicals, and veterinary sciences. It is worth mentioning that heterocyclic compounds make up over 50% of known organic compounds and around 90% of pharmaceutically active scaffolds. Heterocyclic compounds are used as an effective tool to create novel materials with specific physicochemical properties. The organic compounds consisting of heteroatoms, e.g., sulfur, nitrogen, and selenium, are crucial for developing new technologies and materials. The wide application of heterocycles in molecular recognition, superconductivity, polymers sciences, crystal engineering, batteries, water purification, solar energy, molecular electronics, field transistor, soft materials, and separation sciences makes them unique.
This Special Issue aims to cover current developments related to new or efficient synthetic methods for new or existing important heterocyclic compounds and their applications in medicinal chemistry or material sciences.

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.
