Abstrakt
On the occasion of this Special Issue, I would like to present an editorial message on this good occasion. While planning to organize this Special Issue among 12 editorial board members of Catalysts, in the Organic and Polymer Chemistry Section, we discussed how to organize it to improve in this special anniversary issue.
We announced the Special Issue and accepted manuscripts related to molecular catalysis, including metal-catalyzed organic transformations (efficient organic synthesis), polymerization, mechanistic studies, and synthesis of functional polymers. This Special Issue consists of two review articles entitled "Oxidative Degradation of Pharmaceuticals: The Role of Tetrapyrrole-Based Catalysts [1]", "Catalytic Hydrofunctionalization Reactions of 1,3-Diynes [2]", and a perspective article, entitled "α-Diimine Ni-Catalyzed Ethylene Polymerizations: On the Role of Nickel(I) Intermediates [3]".
As expected from the beginning, the scope in this section is broad, from homogeneous to heterogeneous catalysts.
