Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline, porous materials constructed from metal ions/clusters and organic linkers with high surface areas and tunable pore environments. Over the past few decades, a significant number of MOFs with advanced synthetic methods, various structures, porosities, and framework composites have been extensively explored. Additionally, the diverse applications of MOFs have been studied in the fields of material science, chemical engineering, biological medicine, and energy-related fields. With the help of the improved synthesis strategy and enhanced stability of MOFs, we are more likely to find interesting structures and functional applications.
This Special Issue “Advanced in Multi-Functional Metal Organic Frameworks” addresses the progress in the field of MOFs, with a particular focus on novel structures and their functional properties. The potential topics of research (which includes full papers, communications or reviews) to be submitted to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, those listed below.
- Advanced synthetic methods;
- Novel crystal structures;
- Post-synthetic modification;
- Functional MOF composite;
- Luminescent materials;
- Electron/ion conducting materials;
- Magnetic materials;
- Catalysts;
- Sensors;
- Energy conversion/storage materials;
- Switchable materials;
- Multi-functional materials

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
