Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organometallic chemistry is at the heart of the development of new catalytic tools to promote molecular diversity utilizing the most straightforward and atom-economic routes. Progress in homogeneous catalysis allows energy issues to be addressed through the development of highly active and reactive catalysts, which, for example, enable the activation of unreactive bonds and therefore the use of less toxic and more elementary/bulk reagents. Recent developments in homogeneous catalysis also address environmental and societal issues, such as the decrease in nonrenewable resources through the development of synthetic routes from biomass-derived feedstock, as well as the use of earth-abundant metal-based catalysts as more sustainable alternatives to noble metals.
This Special Issue will be dedicated to recent advancements in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, with a look at nickel chemistry, the development of cascade reactions, and the activation of N–C bonds.

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.
