Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few decades, there has been extensive research on coordination compounds of transition metals, such as coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). These compounds are known for their unique multidimensional structural architectures and reactivity and are primarily studied for their potential applications in various fields related to advanced functional materials. The popularity of research on these compounds has been steadily increasing year-by-year.
In this Special Issue, we are looking for original research papers that cover new synthetic methods for coordination compounds, especially CPs and MOFs. We also welcome new molecular design strategies that lead to the formation of multidimensional homo- and heterometallic structures in the form of CPs, supramolecular clusters, MOFs, macrocycles (metalized and non-metalized porphyrins and phthalocyanines), and tailor-made discrete complexes. The key benefits of these compounds are their versatility and their wide range of uses. In this Special Issue, we are excited to present articles exploring the potential applications of these compounds in various fields, such as catalysis, molecular recognition and detection, host–guest chemistry, electrical and biomedical/diagnostic applications, and luminescent and magnetic 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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
