On March 21, 2025, Science Exploration is proud to announce the official launch of its latest international open-access journal, Chiral Chemistry. This new publication is devoted to cutting-edge research in the science of chirality and is now accepting high-quality submissions from around the world. Journal Website: https://www.sciexplor.com/cc

In a world where the subtle asymmetry of molecules can define the behavior of drugs, catalysts, and advanced materials, Chiral Chemistry emerges as a timely and essential platform for interdisciplinary research. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles across the full spectrum of chiral science—from fundamental synthesis and mechanistic studies to real-world applications in pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and beyond.

Founding Editor-in-Chief

Professor Xingwei Li

The founding Editor-in-Chief of Chiral Chemistry is Professor Xingwei Li from Shaanxi Normal University, China. Professor Li is a distinguished researcher in the field of chiral functional molecules and asymmetric catalysis. He is a recipient of numerous prestigious accolades, including the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), Leading Talent in Science and Technology Innovation for Middle-aged and Young Scientists, and National High-Level Talent.

Professor Li's research focuses on organic synthetic methodology, C-H bond activation, and asymmetric catalysis. His team pioneered the study of high-valent rhodium-catalyzed C–H activation in China, developing novel substrate activation strategies that overcome the limitations of low metal-carbon bond reactivity in traditional C–H activation systems. His work has led to the first realization of high-valent iodination, alkynylation, oxygen atom transfer, hydrogen atom transfer, and cycloaddition reactions via C–H activation mechanisms. He has published over 220 SCI papers in top-tier journals.

With his academic expertise and leadership, Chiral Chemistry is positioned to become a high-quality, internationally recognized journal in the field of chiral science.

Aims & Scope

Chiral Chemistry seeks to publish innovative work that deepens our understanding of chirality and expands its applications across scientific disciplines. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

• Design, synthesis, and separation of chiral molecules
• Asymmetric catalysis and stereoselective transformations
• Chiral drug development and structure–activity relationship studies
• Chiral materials, supramolecular systems, and nanostructures
• Chirality in biological processes, environmental systems, and food chemistry
• Computational modeling and theoretical insights related to chirality

To foster global collaboration and knowledge sharing, the journal currently waives all article processing charges (APCs). A streamlined peer-review system and dedicated editorial team ensure rapid, fair, and high-quality publication. Exceptional articles will also benefit from targeted promotion and visibility campaigns.
