Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–organic frameworks have been developed for several decades, with wide applications in the fields of storage, separation, sensing, catalysis and so on. New type of MOFs always inspire a series of new materials and applications and this trend is still ongoing. At the first beginnings of MOFs, they were recognized as not being stable in water, and as time went on, the coming of Zr-based and Cr-based MOFs broke this limitation. We believe there is great potential in this area's development. We are pleased to invite you submit your new research in this special collection. This Special Issue aims to broaden the research on MOFs in different areas and welcomes the combination of structures and applications. Molecules is a journal reporting fresh research results related to new structure and new molecules to readers from the broader chemistry community. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: new MOFs structures, advanced scale-up synthesis, optimization of synthesis, and novel applications of MOFs.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Jiangtao Jia

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.
