Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to see that the Nobel Prize for Chemistry has, once again, been granted to the outstanding research on asymmetric catalysis, which highlights the importance of this continuously developing research area. Although tremendous success has been achieved in recent decades, the need for novel asymmetric catalytic methodologies with powerful catalysts, new technologies, environmentally friendly systems, versatile applications, and, of course, new products, is still high.
Most recently, the development of data science, artificial intelligence and biomimetic technologies has gifted unlimited possibilities for asymmetric synthesis under novel concepts. Thus, we believe that the research on asymmetric catalysis will continue to be meaningful and fruitful.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the research on asymmetric and catalytic synthesis, including, but not limited to, new concepts and new techniques. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions to asymmetric transformations with organocatalysts, transition metals, enzyme and artificial enzymes, supramolecular catalysts, and the novel approach from chiral pools.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
