Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–organic frameworks are a versatile compound member of the inorganic polymers family. MOFs exploded at the beginning of the 2000s and erupted into the transcendental fields of chemistry and material science.
Its structural properties, stability, dimensionality, and, most importantly, high surface area mean that MOFs are vital for a number of catalytic processes.
Globally, sustainable chemistry is more important than ever, and multiple catalytic applications have been developed in the following areas: valorization of CO2, generation of fuels from biomass, reducing water in fuels cells, and a large number of hydrogenation or oxidation reactions where involucrate MOFs are used as catalysts.
Heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis have increasingly been used in the last decade for MOFs. Moreover, MOF-derived materials obtained by controlled pyrolysis present interesting potential as novel catalytic materials.
This Special Issue invites to you to submit your novel research on metal–organic frameworks and their derivatives as catalysts regarding any field related to catalytic processes.

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.
