Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inorganic nanoclusters, typically possessing 10–1000 atoms, possess huge technological potential (e.g., catalysis, nanostructured materials) while presenting a fundamental challenge to our ability to understand inorganic materials at the smallest of scales. Both theoretical and experimental studies from a range of disciplines (e.g., physics, chemistry, nanoscience) are essential in this ongoing endeavor, and synergistic collaborations are very often required to make advances. Here, we highlight a set of representative research studies in this active field to provide a varied overview of current progress and recent breakthroughs in our understanding of the properties and structure of inorganic nanoclusters.

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.
