Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fields of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and catalysis have been extensively combined during the last years due to the characteristics of MOFs being well suited for catalytic applications, for example, their high porosity, chemical versatility, and possibility for tailoring the design of catalytic active sites. The catalytic applications of MOFs and MOF-derived materials are increasing exponentially along with the number of publications related to new and improved performance of MOF materials in chemical reactions leading to industrially relevant compounds. Therefore, a compilation of the latest advances in these fields (MOFs + catalysis) would be useful to connect interested authors and readers. This Special Issue aims to cover recent and emerging strategies for the synthesis and catalytic applications of MOF-type materials, focusing on the aspects that drive present and future research, from the study of the material structure to applications in chemical reactions of organic and inorganic substrates. This will have an impact on the sustainable synthesis of chemicals, fuels, and environmental remediation strategies. For authors, this issue will be a good opportunity to publish their original research following peer review by expert researchers of MOFs and catalysis. Review articles by experts in such fields of research are also strongly encouraged to be submitted for publication in this Special Issue.

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.
