Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topological analysis of crystal structures as well as information measurements allows comparing a large number of crystalline materials with various types of chemical bonds. The topological calculations using fundamental building units (blocks or modules) is most relevant for MOFs. However, such a modular approach in molecular and inorganic compounds also considers crystal structures as a combination of modules repeating from structure to structure.
In this Special Issue on “Crystal Chemistry, Modularity, Topology and Complexity of Molecular and Inorganic Solids”, we would like to summarize the most recent result of the detailed analysis of crystal structures in terms of the topological and modular approach.

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. Molecules 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 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.
