Catalysts (ISSN: 2073-4344) has launched the “Catalysis in Organic and Polymer Chemistry” Section. This Section is dedicated to publishing original and high-quality research communications, articles, and review articles on the related topics of organic and polymer synthesis using catalysts (metal catalysts, organocatalysts). The fields to be covered widely concern homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis as well as organic, organometallic, inorganic, and bioinorganic chemistry.

As they are published in an open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full text of all the articles published in our journal. We welcome you to read our most highly cited papers published in 2020 and 2021 listed below:
