Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past decades, we have witnessed the rapid growth of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as two important classes of porous materials. Their various structures, fascinating properties and versatile applications enable them to stand out from traditional porous materials. At present, the robust development of MOFs and COFs is introducing a variety of groundbreaking achievements in both fundamental and applied research. In order to summarize and present the latest research trends of MOFs and COFs, this Special Issue aims to collect original high-quality reviews and research articles that exploit all aspects of MOFs and COFs, from their design, syntheses and properties, to a wide range of applications. The scope of the Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Design and structure determination of MOFs/COFs;
- Sustainable and large-scale synthesis of MOFs/COFs;
- Amorphous and defective MOFs/COFs;
- MOF/COF membranes and composites;
- MOF/COF sensors and devices;
- MOFs/COFs for energy, environment and health applications;
- Molecular modeling and machine learning for MOFs/COFs;
- Performance comparison of other related materials with MOFs/COFs.

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.
