Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-catalyzed direct C−H bond functionalization reactions represent one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly approaches in organic chemistry due to the avoidance of pre-functionalization of reaction precursors and minimization of metal waste. As a result, considerable efforts have been devoted to studying and advancing this research area over the past half-century, with particularly significant progress taking place in the last two decades. With the development of novel strategies and improved understanding of reaction mechanisms, both site- and stereo-selectivity can now be well controlled. Additionally, this approach has found applications in synthetic studies of natural products, medicinal compounds, materials, and agrochemicals. Considering the natural abundance of C−H bonds in organic molecules and high efficiency of this approach, it is clear that this research field will undoubtedly continue to expand and play an increasingly important role in organic synthesis.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of manuscripts that concentrate on the development of metal-catalyzed C−H bond functionalization reactions of aromatic or aliphatic substrates, mechanistic studies, or synthetic applications.

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.
