Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cyano group is a unique and important building block in organic transformations and is also used as ligands for organometallic chemistry. The cyano group is industrially very useful and is widely used in synthetic resins, drugs, pesticides, fertilizers, or gold extraction reagents. The versatility of the cyano group allows to convert it a wide variety of compounds as aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, carboxamides, amides and heterocycles. Furthermore, it presents a highly performance for the development of multicomponent reactions. Its importance in these reactions accounts for the diversity of bond-forming processes and the high degrees of chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity reached in many reported examples.
This Special Issue covers recent advances in the synthesis of organic and organometallic compounds containing the cyano group and its reactivity to provide compounds of interest in domains from biology to materials science. Contributions dealing with the synthesis and reactivity of cyano compounds to afford valuable molecules, the development of new transformations involving this group, as well as theoretical, kinetic, and mechanistic studies are welcome.

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.
