Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dr. Michel Pfeffer was educated at the University of Strasbourg where he received his Ph.D. in 1975 under the supervision of late Prof. Jean Dehand. He then spent one year as a post-doctoral student with Prof. F. G. A. Stone at the University of Bristol (U.K.). Since 1973, he has held a CNRS position at the University of Strasbourg, where he became Research Director in 1985 and Emeritus in 2014. During these years, he has made enormous contributions to the field of metal-mediated C–H bond activation and functionalization through the formation of metallacycles, in particular, pallada- and ruthenacycles, and through subsequent reactions aimed at forming new C–C and C–Heteroatom bonds. More recently, he moved from C–H activation to medicinal chemistry through the study of the anti-cancer properties of cycloruthenated compounds.
This Special Issue of Molecules celebrates the pioneering efforts of Dr. Michel Pfeffer in the field of C–H bond functionalization and his extensive contribution to the synthesis and application of metallacycles.

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.
