Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The International Journal of Molecular Sciences is planning to launch a new Special Issue, entitled "The Design, Synthesis and Study of Metal Complexes". The issue will focus on the development of modern physicochemical methods for the synthesis of new coordination compounds of metals with ligands of different classes, the identification of the obtained compounds and the study of their structure and properties. Comprehensive fundamental and applied research can establish more effective practical application of coordination compounds in various fields, including science, medicine, industry and agriculture. Due to the diversity of transition metals, the variability in their oxidation states, and the almost limitless variety of ligands (both organic and inorganic), the chemistry of coordination compounds provides researchers with ample opportunities for directed design to obtain compounds with the desired properties. We invite authors to submit their work to this Special Issue, which we hope will serve as a significant contribution to the development of coordination compound chemistry.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
