Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Molecule-based crystalline materials, including metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent–organic frameworks (COFs), and supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs), possess a highly specific surface area, well-defined and ordered pores, variable structures, and tunable chemical functionalities, attracting great attention for their potential applications in molecule adsorption and separation, photo/electrocatalysts, biomedical engineering and optical/electric devices and sensors, and so on. This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of recent discoveries of the synthesis and functions of molecule-based crystalline materials, including new designs of MOFs, COFs, SOFs, and other molecule-based complexes, the study of their growth mechanics, and their potential applications in a broad range of fields.

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.
