Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are 2D or 3D crystalline and porous materials constructed by connecting inorganic and organic units by strong coordination bonds, also known as reticular chemistry. The infinite possibilities of the combination of individual components have led to more than 70,000 different MOFs being synthesized and studied within the past two decades. Currently, MOFs are still attracting significant research interest from disciplines across chemistry, materials science, and engineering. The outstanding structural diversity and precise controllability of MOF structures have endowed them with incredible fucntions that are able to address many enduring societal challenges pertaining to energy and environmental sustainability.
This Special Issue aims to gather the latest advances in this topic from across the scientific community. All aspects relevent to the design, synthesis, and applications of MOFs will be considered in this Special Issue.

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.
