Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The effective design and sustainable synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds are the main focus points in modern chemistry. The constant interest of scientists in this class of organic compounds is caused by their unique properties. Heterocycles are important not only for the pharmacy industry but also for the agrochemical and dyeing industries. Therefore, this Special Issue will cover the most recent trends in the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds. In particular, we invite researchers to publish their recent short laboratory notes and full papers on the synthesis of these compounds (including structural studies), their properties, biological activities, and potential applications. We also welcome theoretical considerations based on the analysis of electron densities applied to synthetic aspects, reaction mechanisms, and structural analyses. The submissions of review articles written by experts in this field will also be appreciated.
Dr. Karolina Kula

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.
