Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mechanochemistry has been used since the very early history of humankind. The introduction of fire by hitting two flints is one of the oldest, most beautiful, and basic examples of mechanochemistry. Recently, mechanochemical synthesis has been used to develop a wide range of materials, including oxides, compounds, alloys, functional materials, core–shell materials, catalysts, magnets, biomaterials, composites, inorganic and organic molecules, pharmaceutical co-crystals, metal–organic frameworks, etc. In addition, mechanochemistry can be significantly applied in waste management and pollution remediation. Mechanochemical processing is an environmentally friendly, green, energy-efficient, and low-cost technique to synthesize such materials. Mechanochemistry offers the potential of promoting interdisciplinary research for breakthrough in science and engineering.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for significant research findings of mechanochemical relevance in areas of inorganic/organic chemistry and materials science. Researchers in the field are cordially invited to submit relevant manuscripts for a Special Issue entitled “Recent Development of Mechanochemical Synthesis II” within the journal Molecules.

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.
