Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will encompass research pertaining to halogenated marine natural products, their biosynthesis, total synthesis, biological and pharmacological profiles, and halogen bonding to receptors. Articles submitted may be full research papers or reviews covering the past five years (2010–2015). Full research papers claiming to have ascertained molecular structures of natural products or intermediates and final products in the total synthesis of natural products must at a minimum provide IR spectra, proton and carbon NMR spectra, and HRMS as supporting data; HMBC and NOESY specta may be required for compounds of sufficient stereochemical complexity. Syntheses must also contain as supplement detailed, experimental procedures, including isolated yields.
Prof. Dr. Miguel O. Mitchell
