Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Suzuki–Miyaura (SM) cross-coupling reaction continues to have a profound influence on advancing organic chemistry in its broadest sense, and the progress in this area, especially during the past decade, has been nothing short of astonishing. The SM reaction is widely utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, smart materials and complex natural and unnatural compounds.
Recent efforts focusing on the development of novel homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts and new ligands for C-C and C-X cross-coupling have resulted in increased efficiency, higher yields, and enantioselectivity. Other studies aimed at the discovery of new coupling partners, applications of neoteric and green media such as ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents, and the development of new experimental designs employing flow chemistry, multicomponent and sequential reactions have greatly expanded the utility and scope of the SM reaction. Unraveling the intricate mechanistic aspects of this transformation, both experimentally and computationally, continues to be an integral part of the recent progress in this dynamic area.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a forum for active scientists and researchers in the field to present their studies focusing on the latest discoveries and trends. The Issue welcomes original research papers as well as timely reviews.

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.
