Synthesis, Characterizations and Applications of Atomically Precise Nanomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Nanoclusters that feature atomically precise structures have emerged as an important platform to bridge the gap between small molecules and relatively macroscopic nanocrystals. Their atomically well-defined structures enable reliable establishment of structure–property relationships and provide guidance to design desired nanostructures. More importantly, nanoclusters usually feature small sizes of less than 3 nm, which endow them with quite unique chemophysical properties due to the strong quantum confinement. This Special Issue aims to collect recent research advancements in the fields of synthesis, characterizations, or applications of nanomaterials with new structures. Any related subjects are also welcomed in this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 2100 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.
