Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last century, chemists have made significant and valuable advances to global health with their wisdom and creativity. In particular, the development of the chemical industry has positively impacted lives to an unexpected extent through the construction of new compounds, the invention of new materials, and the discovery of new medicines. These targets could not be achieved without one necessary substance: catalysts. Catalytic reactions can be divided into metal catalysis, organocatalysis, enzyme catalysis, and photo catalysis, and these have played an important role in the construction of structurally complex and valuable molecules. Recently, significant efforts have been made in the development of catalytic reactions. We believe that there should be increasing interest and contributions in exploring novel catalytic reactions and discovering powerful catalysts. Therefore, we are pleased to announce this Special Issue on “Recent Catalysts for Organic Synthesis”.
We invite the scientific community to submit their contributions as original research articles or review articles that describe novel catalytic processes, creative designs and syntheses of catalysts, and applications of such catalysts in the laboratory or industry. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The synthesis and application of catalysts for metal catalysis, organocatalysis, etc.;
- Synthetic methodologies in catalytic reactions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Catalysts 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.
