Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic electrochemistry is now developing as an integrating area, including not only organic electrosynthesis but also material chemistry, catalytic chemistry, biochemistry, medical chemistry, and environmental chemistry. The principles of electrochemistry are widely used in organic synthesis. Organic electrochemistry involves the activation of organic molecules by transferring electrons from or to the electrode surface. In the process, it is possible to obtain a variety of new products, to study the redox properties of substances, and to realize a variety of transformations, where oxidation or reduction is the key stage. An important aspect of the electrochemical methodology is that many electrochemical processes meet the requirements of ecological cleanness. Indeed, electrochemical reactions have a number of advantages: the mild conditions of their flow, high rates, the selectivity of the process, as well as convenient operational control using parameters such as current density and potential. It is easy to automate the control of electrochemical processes. Electrochemical methods can be recommended for preventive protection of the environment since special reagents are not required.
This Special Issue aims to demonstrate and review the latest achievements in the field of organic electrochemistry, including new examples of electrochemical reactions in the context of the synthesis of complex molecules; electrochemical, efficient, and atom-economical methods for the formation of new bonds; new catalytic approaches that combine electrochemistry and redox-metal catalysis including small-molecule activation, biomimetic electrochemical reactions, radical and ionic transformations induced electrochemically, mechanism recognition, as well as various practical applications; and the fundamental issues of organic electrochemistry.

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.
