Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, coordination polymers (CPs) have emerged as an exciting class of crystalline materials with diverse structures and tunable functionalities, making them highly relevant for cutting-edge scientific and technological applications. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the synthesis, structural design, and multifunctional properties of CPs, with an emphasis on innovative methodologies, structure–property relationships, and emerging applications. The focus will be on both fundamental insights and practical approaches that expand the utility of CPs in fields such as catalysis, gas storage and separation, sensing, magnetism, photoluminescence, drug delivery, and environmental remediation. Suitable topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, novel synthetic strategies using CPs, post-synthetic CP modifications, advanced CP characterization techniques, computational modeling of CPs, and multifunctional applications of CPs in the fields of energy, the environment, and biomedicine.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
