Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Zeolites are crystalline nonporous aluminosilicates whose remarkable properties offer environmentally benign alternatives for the development of cleaner, safer and more efficient chemical processes. The variety in composition, pore-size and chemical properties make zeolites versatile heterogeneous catalysts with tunable characteristics. In particular, the concentration of active sites, the stability and the shape selectivity of zeolites offer superior catalytic activity for example in oil-refining and petrochemistry. This Special Issue aims to provide an updated forum to discuss applications of zeolites for catalytic green productions including, but not limited to, bio-based derivatives, fine chemicals, and biologically active 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.
