Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–organic frameworks are a class of porous materials composed of metal ions or clusters connected by organic ligands. They exhibit diverse structures and properties, making them highly versatile for various applications, including gas storage and separation, catalysis, sensing, and drug delivery.
In this Special Issue, we welcome research articles or reviews that delve into the functional aspects of MOFs, particularly emphasizing the interactions between guest molecules (such as gases, solvents, or ions) and the host framework. The exploration of these interactions is crucial for understanding the sorption mechanisms and designing MOFs with tailored properties for specific applications.
Overall, this Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers to exchange insights, present cutting-edge developments, and contribute to the advancement of functional metal–organic frameworks and their diverse applications in various fields.

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.
