Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crystalline porous materials, including metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), etc., are emerging materials that show excellent crystallinity, high surface areas and tailored pore environments. Over the past few decades, a great number of crystalline porous materials with fascinating crystal structures have been extensively explored. Moreover, the diverse applications of porous materials have been studied in the fields of chemical engineering, material science, biological medicine, and energy-related areas. With the help of crystal engineering and reticular chemistry, we are more likely to discover new aesthetic structures and multi-functional applications.
This Special Issue, entitled “Design, Synthesis, and Multi-Functional Applications of Crystalline Porous Materials”, focuses on the progress of porous materials, with special attention to novel structures and their functional properties. The potential topics of the papers (including full papers, communications or reviews) to be submitted to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced synthetic methods;
- Novel crystal structures;
- Functional composites;
- Optical/electrical/magnetic properties;
- Photo-/electro-catalysts;
- Guest sensors;
- Energy conversion/storage materials.

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.
