Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Inorganics highlights the synthesis, characterization, and application of innovative coordination and organometallic complexes in cutting-edge scientific and industrial fields. Coordination and organometallic chemistry underpin significant advancements in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, light-emitting devices, molecular sensors, renewable energy technologies, and drug discovery. Particular attention is paid in this Issue to complexes with unique electronic, optical, and catalytic properties tailored for applications such as photocatalysis, photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction, OLEDs/LEECs, and metallopharmaceuticals for anticancer or antimicrobial therapies.
We invite the submission of contributions that delve into the rational design and synthesis of novel metal complexes, mechanistic insights into their reactivity, and their integration into real-world applications. Structural elucidation via advanced spectroscopic or crystallographic methods is also a key focus, providing a critical understanding of structure–function relationships.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform to share the latest advances, offering a comprehensive overview of the pivotal role coordination and organometallic complexes play in addressing the global challenges of sustainability, health, and energy innovation. Researchers are encouraged to submit original articles and reviews.
Dr. Alan R. Cabrera

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. Inorganics 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 2200 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.
