Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a new class of crystalline porous materials constructed using organic linkers and metal nodes, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) display the features of extremely high surface area, large porosity, tunable pore size, and flexible functionality. Their applications have been found in gas storage and separation, heterogeneous catalysis, chemical sensors, proton conductivity, biomedicine, and others. Currently, researchers are keen to design functional MOFs with special functions. This Special Issue focuses on the functional MOFs and their interesting applications.
This Special Issue aims to report functional MOFs for multiple applications, provide insights into structure‒property relationships, and enhance communication among scientists around the world. We invite the submission of original research articles, communications, and reviews covering one or several of the topics included in (or related to) the keywords below.

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. Metals 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 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.
