The Intersection of Electrochemistry Methodology and Electrochemical Reactivity

Dear Colleagues,

The use of electrochemistry as a method for chemical synthesis has expanded rapidly, with the technique being increasingly adopted by synthetic, analytical, and process chemists alike. An understanding of the mechanism of these redox processes has allowed for a new synthetic methodology through the ability to harness electrochemically initiated reagents or reactive species. Together with this diversity of chemical transformations, there has been increased development and innovation in electrochemical reactors and processes, with the goal to achieve reproducibility, automation, and safety, or to engage otherwise inaccessible chemical intermediates.

This Special Issue aims to highlight these links between methodology (be it synthetic methodology through reaction development or process methodology through reactor design) and reactivity (the elucidation and application of unique reaction mechanism or electrochemical properties, to develop novel electrosynthetic processes or fundamental chemical knowledge). We are pleased to invite expert researchers in all areas of electrochemical synthesis to submit their most recent developments and findings in the form of articles or reviews.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
