Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic of this special issue is "Design, Structural Analysis and Application of Porous Hybrid Materials ". In recent years, the catalytic applications of porous materials, such as MOFs, COFs, POPs materials, have grown exponentially due to their excellent properties such as high surface area, high porosity, chemical versatility, and customizable catalytic active site design. To improve the mechanical, thermal or chemical stability under reaction conditions, hybrid forms of porous materials with other materials (e.g. nanoparticles, molecular catalysts, polymers, etc.) are developing at a very fast rate, as the catalytic activity of the parent material can be significantly enhanced by a rational design of the hybrid materials. Therefore, a compilation of the latest advances in this field is useful for authors and readers interested in this topic. This special issue aims to cover the latest and emerging strategies for the design, structure analysis and catalytic applications of porous hybrids materials based on COFs, MOFs, POPs, focusing on the features that drive current and future research, from the design, synthesis, and structural characterization of hybrid materials to their application in environmental, chemical or energy-related catalysis or other related chemical transformations. For authors, this issue will be a great opportunity to publish their original research following peer review by expert researchers in porous hybrid materials and catalytic sustainable chemistry. We also strongly encourage experts in such research fields to submit review articles for publication in this special issue.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Porous hybrid materials synthesis; Metal-organic frameworks; Covalent-organic frameworks; Supramolecular chemistry or Guest/host interaction; Porous-organic frameworks; Structral characterization of porous hybrid materials.

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.
