Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The discovery of cross-coupling reactions was regarded as a milestone in organic chemistry long before the Nobel Prize in Chemistry of 2010 was awarded to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki. The ability to efficiently and selectively create complex organic structures under mild conditions with the help of metal catalysts opened up possibilities that go beyond the formation of biphenyls. The significance of coupling reactions is reflected by the fact that approximately one-fourth of the medicines synthesized nowadays are made with the use of these couplings. Many multi-ton processes for forming agrochemicals are based on cross-coupling. Beyond its biological applications, Suzuki Polycondensation (SPC) is commonly incorporated in the synthesis and functionalization of a myriad of structures, providing research objects for applications such as organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics.
Development in this branch of organic chemistry has not seemed to slow down, with new findings related to additives, leaving groups, catalysts, reaction conditions and nucleophiles being continuously investigated and published. Furthermore, different aspects of cross-coupling reactions are being explored with the use of experimental as well as computational methodologies to elucidate the mechanistic details of observed reactivities. Thus, we see a need to periodically gather all this new knowledge and highlight the most important findings with potential to significantly impact future research on cross-couplings.
This Special Issue aims to present recent progress made in the field of cross-coupling reactions and their adaptations in various contexts. We are pleased to invite expert researchers in the field to publish their latest developments and concepts in this Special Issue in the form of short communications, full-research papers, perspectives and reviews.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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.
