Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit full papers, communications, and reviews to the forthcoming Special Issue “Advance in Organic Framework Materials: Synthetic Strategies and Applications”.
Accurately controlling the assembly of functional motifs presents a significant challenge for the construction of organic framework materials, which requires the development of structurally diverse building blocks and highly reliable synthetic strategies. Porous organic materials have aroused much attention due to their modular nature and tunable structures. In particular, organic framework materials such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs), and halogen-bonded organic frameworks (XOFs) have been widely used in the fields of gas sorption and storage, catalysis, luminescence, sensing, biomedicine, environmental remediation, energy storage, and conversion. Although there has been remarkable progress in the field of reticular chemistry over the past decade, the exploration of new synthetic strategies and applications is still in its infancy. It is also necessary to establish a fundamental understanding of the relationships between chemical structures and physicochemical properties in organic framework materials used for diverse applications. Manuscripts dedicated to the research and development of organic framework materials, especially for MOFs, COFs, HOFs, SOFs, and XOFs, will be gladly considered.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
