Design and Application of Periodic Frameworks

Dear Colleagues,

The past two decades have witnessed the progress of new-generation periodic frameworks including metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs). Given tailorable structures with high internal surfaces and specific pore sizes, significant attention has been gained for their structural design and potential development.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Design and Application of Periodic Frameworks”. The following type of manuscripts will be considered for publication: full research articles, short communications and reviews. This Special Issue includes but is not limited to the design, synthesis, modification, characterization, and applications of novel periodic materials.

Dr. Jiafei Lyu
Guest Editor
