Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humans like to synthesize and explore crystalline substances, and sometimes, some crystals may surprise us. In these unique cases, it is necessary to focus our attention on many factors and determine the true one, which is the initiator of structural rearrangements. These unique phenomena include jumping crystals, changes in the crystalline phase under pressure, UV radiation, [2+2] cycloaddition reaction, etc. Not all observed phenomena can be unambiguously characterized using single crystal X-ray analysis; in some cases, a wide range of physicochemical methods should be used to determine the cause. Therefore, we would be grateful if you could share your experimental observations that will help other researchers as well.

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. Crystals 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 2600 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.
