Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, there is a spectacular growing research interest for ferrocene and its derivatives due to their versatile applications in material science, including the production of ferrocene-containing polymers and thermotropic liquid crystals, nanotubes, sensors, and related optical and redox devices, as well as in cartalysis with particular regard to asymmetric versions and redox transformations, and in the rapidly emerging field of bioorganometallic chemistry. Accordingly, this Special Issue is intended to make up a collection of high-standard original contributions and reviews highlighting the most recent achievements and up‐to‐date trends in the synthetic strategies and methodologies aiming at the rational design and development of novel ferrocene-based compounds including bimetal and polymetal complexes featuring rationally designed structural characteristics, such as tuneable redox properties, metal–metal interactions, and well-defined stereostructures that enable their innovative uses in the above-mentioned fields. Articles reporting on physicochemical investigations (e.g., electrochemical analysis), spectroscopic and theoretical modeling studies, and the synthesis and evaluation of bioactive compounds with disclosed structure–activity relationships are also welcome in this Special Issue, to illustrate the multidisciplinary nature of the research on ferrocene derivatives and related organometallics.

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.
