About Amines

Amines are organic compounds and functional groups that contain a unit formed by the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms of ammonia by alkyl or aryl groups. In nature, there are several variations of amines including vitamins, alkaloids, and other compounds. Several drugs are amines, while dyes and polymeric materials also contain this special functional group. Amines form the basis of a good number of human neurotransmitters and chemical mediators that control a wide variety of bodily functions.

The collection aims to bring together recent research related to these compounds and their utilization within the chemical sciences and other fields and industries. Submissions to this collection can be focused on but not limited to:

• Synthesis of amines & developments of synthetic methods
• Novel utilization & applications of the compounds
• Experimental and theoretical studies

Both research and review papers are welcome.

Open Research Europe requires open access to research data supporting articles under the principle ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary’. All articles should include citations to repositories that host the data underlying the results, together with any information needed to replicate, validate, and/or reuse the results/your study and analysis of the data. We recognize there may be exceptions due to ethical, data protection, or confidentiality considerations, or because the data have been obtained from a third party and access restrictions apply. Only research funded by Horizon 2020 and/or Horizon Europe is eligible for publication on Open Research Europe. All article processing charges will be covered centrally by the European Commission.
