Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organometallic agents have attracted extensive interest in inorganic and medicinal chemistry. The last ten years witnessed the rise of several bioactive organometallic compounds with anticancer and antioxidant activities. The most interesting organometallic compound, cis-platin, was discovered in the late 1970s, and since then many agents have been developed with diverse applications. These include synthetic (e.g., catalysis), medicinal (e.g., anticancer, antimicrobial, and theranostic), and industrial (e.g., polymer production) applications.
In this Special Issue, we wish to cover the most recent advances in the synthesis of organometallic compounds with potential antioxidant and anticancer activities and their underlying mechanism(s) by hosting a mix of original research articles and short critical reviews.

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. Inorganics 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.
