Metal Complexes

Dear Colleagues,

Undoubtedly, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) is one of the most powerful and robust techniques for solid-state structure determination. The properties of crystalline materials are related directly to their crystal structure. Crystallography provides the foundation for the understanding of the structure–properties relationship and connects the fundamental understanding of materials with their applications. The goal of this Special Issue of “Crystals” is expected to provide not only an excellent platform to report results that highlight the synthesis, characterization, and crystal structures of metal complexes, e.g., metal–organic and organometallic compounds but also the significant features of their structures such as interesting intra- and intermolecular interactions revealed by crystal structure analysis.

It is a pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue; regular articles, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
