Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our Special Issue "10th Anniversary of Inorganics: Organometallic Chemistry" in 2023 has been a great success (you can reference this SI here). As we feel that there is far more potential in this topic, and we have received some further agreements for manuscript submissions, we want to launch the Special Issue "Feature Papers in Organometallic Chemistry 2024" as a follow-up SI project. We invite all colleagues working in the field of organometallic chemistry to submit a contribution within this SI to shed light on this important aspect of chemistry.
Communications, full research papers, and reviews describing the synthesis of organometallic compounds, their use or relevance in catalysis, and their application in important fields such as luminescent materials, photochemical energy conversion, and bio-medical applications in diagnosis and treatment, just to name a few, 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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Abstract: The study aims to the activity of the polar monomers insertion reaction catalyzed by the cationic rare earth metal complex [(C5H5)Sc(NMe2CH2C6H4-o)]+, utilizing a combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and multivariate linear regression (MLR) methods. The insertion reaction activity could be described by the poisoning effect and the ease of monomer insertion, which could be represented via DFT calculated energy difference between σ- and π-coordination complexes (E) and insertion energy barrier (ΔG≠), respectively. The results indicate that E and ΔG≠ can be predicted by only several descriptors using multiple linear regression methods, with root mean squared error (RMSE) of less than 2.5 kcal/mol. Furthermore, the qualitative analysis of the MLR models provided effective information on the key factors governing the insertion reaction activity.
