Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on coordination compounds, also known as transition metal complexes, used in the design of catalytic materials, storage devices, and sensors. Coordination compounds are formed when transition metal ions bind with ligands to create a stable complex. Due to their versatility, customizability and unique properties, they are promising candidates for the development of innovative technologies in various fields.
Coordination compounds have proven to be versatile catalysts for various reactions, offering distinct advantages such as high selectivity, tunable reactivity, and efficient catalytic activity. Their use can lead to the development of more efficient and sustainable catalytic processes.
In the field of energy storage systems, coordination compounds have shown the potential to create new materials for energy storage devices such as rechargeable batteries and fuel cells. These compounds have high energy storage capacity, improved stability, and better performance, paving the way for the development of advanced energy storage systems.
The unique properties of coordination compounds, such as sensitivity to external stimuli, have made them excellent candidates for their potential application in sensors. Scientists have been able to create sensors based on coordination complexes with higher selectivity, sensitivity, and response speed, enabling the detection of specific molecules in complex samples.
This Special Issue aims to publish outstanding papers covering the latest progress in the field of materials based on coordination compounds. We welcome scholars in this field to submit original research articles, reviews, and short communications related to the subject.

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. Materials 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 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.
