Dear Colleagues,

Coordination supramolecular chemistry has evolved to a stage whereby a large number of well-defined structures have been prepared through the establishment of metal–ligand interactions between small buildings blocks. In recent decades, an increasing number of combinations between acceptor metal compounds and organic or metallo-organic donor fragments have been used as building blocks, thus allowing the obtention of a huge variety of supramolecular architectures and assemblies. One of the most attractive features of this kind of compounds is the suitability for a great variety of applications. On one hand, the use of building blocks with specific functionalities can produce species with the desired properties. On the other hand, the formation of supramolecular entities can give rise to compounds with new properties that can be used in a wide range of potential applications, such as catalysis, sensoring, or switching devices, among others.

In this Special Issue, we wish to cover the most recent advances in the synthesis and applications of supramolecular coordination compounds (SCCs). This will also contribute to the discovery of new strategies and collaborations among researchers in the field.

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 2700 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.
