Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aromatic compounds comprise a unique and historically well-explored class of organic molecules especially due to their p-conjugated system of electrons and resulting peculiar properties, such as planar arrangement, reactivity, conductivity, color, odor, etc. These properties are even more pronounced by embedding a heteroatom within the aromatic scaffold. The heteroatom may act either as an electron releasing or withdrawing moiety, which allows property fine-tuning along with its chelating and acid/base character. Aromatic heterocycles constitute highly tunable and functionalized organic materials that are very attractive for chemists, physicists, engineers, and materials scientists and represent a burgeoning and long-lasting area of research. They have significantly infiltrated modern organic devices across organic electronics, batteries, switches, sensors, catalysts, drugs, and many others. Hence, this Special Issue covers the synthesis, functionalization, fundamental physicochemical properties, and mostly miscellaneous applications of aromatic heterocyclic 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. Organics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
