Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The asymmetric reactions assumed a growing importance among the organic reaction from the beginning of this century. Metal chiral complexes as the catalysts, chiral pool, easily available chiral organic products, and chiral organocatalysts have been employed to perform these synthesis.
The widespread dissemination of this topic encouraged me to collect in a special issue papers that aim at enriching knowledge of organic chemists, thus new synthetic methods or reviews collecting data on known reaction will be welcomed.
We aim to design this special issue from organic chemists developing new synthetic methods to other interested in their application to the preparation of chiral organic natural products employable in industry, medicine and biology.
The audience of potential readers will be therefore very broad and I hope that many of you accept to publish your research in this special issue.
Prof. Renato Dalpozzo
Guest Editor
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
