Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phosphorescent organometallic complexes have wide applications in OLED technology, bio-imaging, sensors, photo-catalysis, and so on. Phosphorescence occurs via a radiative spin-forbidden transition from the first triplet excited state (T1) to the single ground state (S0), where the spin forbiddances can be relaxed by the spin–orbit coupling (SOC). Organometallic complexes with a heavy metal atom having a large SOC constant can show near-unity phosphorescence quantum yield and have been industrialized for OLED applications. Recent years have also witnessed the great impact of phosphorescent organometallic complexes in the fields of photo-catalysis due to their long-lived triplet excited state in facilitating efficient energy/electron transfer process upon photo-excitation.
This Special Issue of Inorganics aims to publish a collection of state-of-the-art research papers illustrating recent achievements in the development of phosphorescent organometallic complexes, especially those with unconventional luminescence properties, as well as their potential applications, mechanistic and spectroscopic studies and particularly addressing the topics listed below:
- Design and preparation of new phosphorescent organometallic complexes;
- Phosphorescent materials in electronic devices;
- Electronic structures and theoretical studies of phosphorescent organometallic complexes;
- Spectroscopic studies of the triplet excited state of metal complexes;
- Photo-catalysis of phosphorescent organometallic complexes.

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. Inorganics 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 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.
