Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterocycles can be found in all kinds of organic compounds of interest in biology, agro chemistry pharmacology, medicine, and materials science. In the last few decade, the use of catalytic processes mainly by transition-metal complexes has considerably impacted modern organic synthesis methodologies, but many improvements are still possible in terms of selectivity or even enantioselectivity via the development of new ligands or the study of the catalytic effect of other metals to carry out the same or new chemical transformations. In addition, the attention paid to environmentally friendly methods in terms of the quantities of catalysts, ligands, and solvents is currently indispensable.
This Special Issue on Heterocyclic Chemistry and Catalysis will focus on new advances in catalytic processes applied to heterocyclic compounds. In doing so, we placed specific emphasis on original research papers and short reviews of the synthesis of biologically active compounds using transition metals catalysts, the identification of new catalysts, the synthesis of new ligands allowing selectivity or enantioselectivity of the synthetic pathway, the activity and stability of catalysts under turnover conditions, news materials, and all the improvements in the catalytic processes.

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. Catalysts 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.
