Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of our civilization has been linked to the development of new materials for centuries. Pushing the boundaries in this field has led us to the very advanced state of knowledge we have today. Currently, the development of new materials with designed properties involves the manipulation of individual molecules or atoms. One of the currently popular approaches to the development of new materials is to build molecular systems from synthetic or natural building blocks. However, designed molecular systems often require suitable support to ensure their stability and spatial arrangement. Porous materials, which often form nanostructures with a predicted ordered spatial structure, can fulfill this function and ensure the excellent stabilization of molecular systems. Therefore, it is extremely important to conduct research on inert porous materials with different porosity in parallel with research on molecular systems. Often, these studies are conducted simultaneously to ensure the best possible match of both components.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the emerging trends in molecular systems supported on porous materials and their applications in various fields. The rapid progress observed in this field in recent years suggests that this approach to material design will bring many solutions in urgent areas such as medicine, energy science, and environmental science. This Special Issue will bring together cutting-edge research and innovative contributions that explore the latest trends in such materials design as well as the physical-chemical mechanisms for controlling their behaviors.
We look forward to your valuable contribution to this Special Issue, which will contribute to the development of the field of molecular engineering and promote its practical applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
