Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first and second editions of the Special Issue titled "Enantioselective Synthesis, Enantiomeric Separations and Chiral Recognition" were both successes; therefore, a third edition for this topic will be published.
The importance of obtaining pure enantiomers, either by enantioseparation or by enantioselective synthesis, is well recognized by academics and industry professionals. The demand for efficient methodologies to obtain chiral bioactive compounds with a high degree of enantiomeric purity requires continuous advances in enantioselective synthesis, chiral analyses, and preparative enantioseparation, as well as in chiral recognition. Currently, this Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing advances in new materials for enantioseparation and chiral sensors as new tools for enantioselective analyses.
The third edition of this Special Issue on "Enantioselective Synthesis, Enantiomeric Separations and Chiral Recognition" will include both fundamental studies and applications in a multidisciplinary research field centered around chiral compounds. Contributions to this Special Issue, both in the form of original research or review articles, must illustrate recent and future trends in methodologies to obtain enantiomers in highly enantiomeric pure form, new materials for enantioseparation and chiral sensors, and aspects of chiral recognition in enantiomeric separations (as well as in pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and toxicological events).
Innovative approaches in the field of enantioselective synthesis, chiral analyses using chromatographic methods and chiral sensors, and chiral recognition studies are particularly welcome.

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.
