Advances in Low-Dimensional Metal–Organic Frameworks: Basic Science and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), known for their exceptional structural diversity and tunable properties, have emerged as versatile materials with promising applications in various fields, including catalysis, nanoelectronics, gas storage and separation, spintronics, drug delivery, sensing, and environmental remediation. This Special Issue will focus on (but not exclude other subjects) low-dimensional, conducting MOFs which have appeared recently as highly promising materials combining magnetism and electrical conductivity. Furthermore, they enhance the exceptional properties of other low-dimensional conducting materials, such as graphene, by introducing magnetic moments into the conduction process, leading to extreme richness in phenomena to be investigated from a fundamental or applied point of view. Contributions are expected to cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the design and fabrication of conducting MOFs, either on properly chosen substrates or in aqueous environments, and their structural and physicochemical properties, as well as their applications in nanoelectronics, catalysis, spintronics, gas adsorption, as magnetic or other sensors. New studies on their electronic and magnetic properties ranging from theory and X-ray spectroscopy to optical investigations are also welcome. By bringing together cutting-edge research and insights from experts in the field, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in conducting MOFs and their potential impact on various fields.

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. Magnetochemistry 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.
