What is this collection about?
Organic electrosynthesis relies on electricity for driving the formation of key reactive intermediates, providing a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to stoichiometric reagents. Its potential for enhanced reaction control and scalability has enabled applications in the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates, as well as in key transformations such as redox-driven functionalization, cross-coupling, and asymmetric synthesis.
This Collection invites manuscripts that highlight laboratory- and industrial-scale advances in organic electrosynthesis, including:
- Synthetic methodologies
- Electrode materials
- Reactor design
- Mechanistic understanding
- Reaction control
- Sustainable applications
Why is this collection important?
Organic electrosynthesis offers a sustainable approach to chemical synthesis by replacing stoichiometric reagents with electricity. Advances in this field are improving reaction control, scalability, and efficiency, creating new opportunities for the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, and other valuable compounds.
Why submit to a collection?
Collections like this one help promote high-quality science. They are led by In-House Editors who are experts in their fields and supported by a dedicated team of Commissioning Editors and Managing Editors at Springer Nature. Collection manuscripts typically see higher citations, downloads, and Altmetric scores, and provide a one-stop-shop on a cutting-edge topic of interest.
Who is involved?
Communications Chemistry is edited by both in-house professional editors and Editorial Board Members.
