Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The stereoselective construction of new organic compounds is still one of the most important fields in modern synthetic organic chemistry. This Special Issue invites contributions concerning asymmetric synthesis, especially including the application of chiral ligands and organocatalysts, various theoretical aspects of optical activity of organic compounds, stereodivergent and stereoconvergent catalysis, and mechanistic aspects of asymmetric induction. As part of this Special Issue, reports describing various synthetic approaches leading to symmetric organic compounds are also welcome. They may include, for example, the synthesis of molecules bearing a plane of symmetry, symmetry axis, center of symmetry, and similar.

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.
