Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organophosphorus compounds play an important role in all fields of life; they have widespread use in organic and medicinal chemistry, as well as in agriculture and plastic industry. Organophosphorus compounds (aminophosphonates, hydroxyphosphonates, bisphosphonates, and many other types) also represent significant importance as biologically active agents. Moreover, certain phosphorus-containing derivatives can be applied as ligands, since they can easily coordinate to transition metals or even lanthanides, which may lead to the formation of valuable coordination complexes. Derivatives involving a transition metal may be utilized as catalysts in various transformations, such as cross couplings, reductions or hydroformylations.
In addition to traditional methodologies, microwave- or ultrasound-assisted, catalyst and/or solvent-free accomplishments towards the synthesis of organophosphorus compounds are also in the scope of this issue.
This Special Issue of Molecules welcomes the submission of research papers covering all areas of organophosphorus chemistry.
Dr. Erika Bálint

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.
