Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, luminescent complexes of platinum group metals have attracted much attention because of their intriguing spectroscopic and luminescent properties. Whereas organic light emitters are predominantly fluorescent, in such compounds, the presence of strong spin–orbit coupling due to the effect of a heavy atom—a metal center—contributes to the formally forbidden transition from the singlet to the triplet state, enabling phosphorescent relaxation, which leads to the longer lifetime of the excitation state in microsecond domains and higher photoluminescence quantum yields. In particular, the luminescent materials based on platinum group metal complexes have a broad range of applications in the fields of light-emitting devices, luminescent chemosensors, bioimaging agents, and photocatalysis.
In this Special Issue, we will cover the most recent advances in luminescent materials based on platinum group metal complexes by including a mix of original research articles and critical reviews.

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.
