Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As our world is currently facing a sanitary crisis, there is another on its way which could be just as deadly in the very near future: the energy crisis. Fossil energy can no longer be considered the main source of power. In order to achieve sustainable development, we need to radically modify the energy vector. Dihydrogen seems to be the ideal candidate in this endeavor: H atoms are the most abundant in the universe, and combustion of hydrogen gas liberates, with a lot of energy, only water, to cite but a few of the advantages. Unfortunately, to synthesize dihydrogen, at the moment, there is no satisfying substitute to platinum, one the rarest and most expensive metals on the earth surface. Chemists have their role to play in order to find a platinum substitute, and this Special Issue is dedicated to exposing the efforts of molecular chemists toward this vital goal.

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.
