Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are prevalently used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, functionalized materials, and bioactive nature products, as they are privileged scaffolds possessing interesting pharmacological value, biological activities, and physicochemical properties. In fact, approximately 80% percent of the top 20 best-selling drugs are reported to contain nitrogen atoms, and two-thirds of them incorporate nitrogen-containing heterocycles, though this figure is increasing every year. Therefore, the development of novel and efficient methodologies for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing frameworks from simple starting materials continue to be a central focus for organic chemists.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Molecules is very pleased to host this Special Issue and invites scientists to submit their original contributions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
