Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerous drugs and biomaterials utilize nitrogen-containing structural units to impart specific biomedical functional properties. Examples include small amino compounds that can be cyclic or noncyclic, chiral or achiral, and either monomeric or oligomeric. Simultaneously, in the field of materials science, electrical and optical properties can also depend heavily on the availability of these nitrogen-containing compounds. Research into organic circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) materials has emerged as a particularly active and significant area of interest. The development of novel synthetic methodologies for these relevant compounds has been a focus within the organic chemistry community for many decades. As such, this Special Issue welcomes, but is not limited to, submissions from the following range of areas:
- C(sp2)-H and C(sp2)-H functionalization with nitrogen-containing groups.
- Asymmetric synthesis and catalysis approaches to amino products.
- N-heterocycles inside and outside rings.
- Noncyclic amino compounds, including α- and β-amino acid derivatives.
- New protection and deprotection of known and new protection groups.
- Solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis.
- New properties of known and new amino products.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
