Special Issue Information
Dear colleagus,
Metal–organic frameworks (MOF) represent a class of hybrid material built from metal ions and organic bridging ligands with well-defined coordination geometries and structures. The easy tunability of their pore size and the wide array of combinations within their constituents offers them a set of special characteristics such as porosity, large surface areas, intriguing framework architectures, and high chemical/mechanical stability. These features have made MOFs well known in applications such as catalysis, energy storage, drug delivery systems, nonlinear optics, sensing, and gas storage.
This Special Issue intends to present some of the most relevant progress on the design and development of MOFs and their applications. The Special Issue will significantly benefit from the contribution of original research articles and critical review articles in this scientific field.

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.
