Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Because of the unique properties of fluorine atom, fluorinated compounds have shown growing interest in various fields of application. Among the fluorinated substituents, the CF3 and HCF2 groups have been particularly studied in recent years; in particular because of their potential benefits in life science. Furthermore, the association of these fluorinated parts with heteroatoms, and mainly chalcogens, have shown a particular interest due the obtained specific physico-chemical properties. Therefore, molecules bearing CF3O, CF3S, CF3Se, HCF2O, HCF2S and HCF2Se groups have been recently synthesized and studied. Such chemistry requires the development of new reagents and new methodologies to propose larger molecular diversity and complexity. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather research articles or reviews concerning, not only the development of new synthetic strategies to obtain these fluorinated molecules, but also the study of the properties and potential applications of these new compounds.

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.
