Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mechanochemistry has attracted significant interest in the last decade as a powerful, sustainable, timesaving, environmentally friendly, and more economical synthetic pathway. Mechanical activated methods are considered green and sustainable approaches to prepare a wide diversity of compounds and are currently important synthetic tools in different fields. Mechanochemistry can activate chemical transformations via mechanical forces, e.g., compression, shear, or friction, in the solid phase free of solvents or with catalytic amounts of solvents. The advantages of mechanochemistry go far beyond the non-use of solvents, as it is a highly efficient technique, involving low costs, as well as reduced energy usage and CO2 emissions.
The main aim of this Special Issue on “Mechanochemistry: New Perspectives of Green Chemistry” is to create an open forum where scientists can share their research and discoveries in this promising field and increase their visibility along with interaction with industries and production systems. The contributions to this issue, in the form of original research or review articles, may cover all aspects of mechanochemistry.

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.
