Synthesis and Molecular Applications of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to various approaches to the preparation and modification of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), as well as their application,  the focus is on molecular research. In recent years, research in this area has not subsided.

This is not surprising because MOFs are very important in the following fields: sorption materials, catalysis, semiconductors, storage, fuel cells, compounds separation, solid-state sensors, etc. 

The main purpose of this Special Issue on “Synthesis of Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs)” is to be an open forum where researchers may share their investigations and findings in this promising field. Contributions to this issue, both in the form of original research and review articles, may cover all aspects of synthesis; studies with multidisciplinary input, offering new methodologies or insights, are particularly 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. 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.
