Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Amongst transition metal catalysts used in organic chemistry, copper is a low-cost coinage metal that is distributed worldwide and is also more environmentally friendly than other metallic catalysts. Moreover, copper-based catalysts can be involved in two-electron or single-electron processes depending on its oxidative stage. In addition, it is very prone to coordinate to heteroatoms and multiple bonds, which makes its use as a catalyst extremely wide and diverse, with a plethora of applications. Despite having been intensively used in catalysis, interest in this metal is raising due to its role in new functionalizations and in new homogeneous and heterogeneous copper-based catalysts alike. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research on this topic.

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.
