Small molecule activation is of fundamental significance in nature and in our life. The topic of this themed collection is focused on small molecule activation reactions that are involved in many significant biological and artificial catalytic processes. The scope of this collection covers the catalytic and mechanistic aspects of various small molecule activation reactions, including enzymatic and biomimetic studies for new reactions, the development of new efficient catalytic systems, the characterization of new active intermediates, and new mechanistic insights into bond forming/breaking processes. Therefore, the particular research area is enclosed in this themed collection, catalysts and catalyst design principles and strategies, and applications of small molecule activations in energy conversion and chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
