Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transition metal catalyzed C‒H bond functionalization is currently one of the most widely investigated fields, which have, currently, a broad diversion in terms of ligand engineering, catalyst design, elucidation of reaction mechanism, controlling of regio-selectivity, short-step synthesis of various important structural motifs of natural products and biological compounds. One of the major reasons for such wide progress in C‒H bond functionalization chemistry is the omnipresence of C‒H bonds in organic molecules. Conversely, this ubiquitous nature of C‒H bonds can cause a thoughtful drawback in terms of a selectivity issue. Therefore, various tactics are being discovered worldwide by various research groups to do the functionalization in a selective way. Considering the applicability and efficacy of C‒H bond activation chemistry, the inorganic and organic research community indeed thinks that this field has wide advantages for laboratory and industrial research, and it has the potential to deliver more exciting and new strategies in respect of new catalyst designing and selective functionalization.
In this Special Issue, we wish to cover the recent advancement of C‒H bond functionalization chemistry using homogeneous or heterogeneous systems. Regardless, we would be happy to consider short critical reviews along with the significant original discoveries in this area of research.

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.
