Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metalating agents are essential in most synthetic chemists' toolkits since they allow the selective and efficient functionalization of a wide range of organic substrates including aliphatic and (hetero) aromatic compounds. The growing need for complex scaffolds and fine chemicals, urges the chemists to design always more sophisticated metalating agents including main group metals. This Special Issue is intended to cover the last developments in the field focusing not only on the synthetic applications but also on reactivity, structural and mechanistic investigations from the experimental and theoretical point of views.

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.
