Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainable development of metal complexes is an interesting and significant topic, attracting increasing attention due to the complexes’ aesthetically pleasing structures and unique electronic and stereochemical properties. Their sustainable development has been successfully applied in the fields of solid-state lighting, biological diagnosis treatment, molecular magnetism, catalysis, adsorption, and intelligent sensing, and is gradually moving towards emerging fields. In addition, metal complexes contain both inorganic and organic substances. Therefore, the unique physical and chemical properties of both inorganic and organic compounds are of great significance for the development of a new generation of multifunctional materials, and various multifunctional metal complexes have emerged. However, chemists prefer to select specific organic ligands and metal ions to synthesize metal complexes with certain specificity, in particular, the design and synthesis of finite high-nuclear metal complexes with specific structural connections, beautiful topologies, and rich properties. In recent years, high-nuclear metal complexes have attracted intense interest, which can be attributed to their wide application value in emerging fields such as luminescent materials, chemical sensors, biosensors, catalysis, and smart materials. With the development of science and technology, focus on metal complexes has become more and more specific and scientific, which provides valuable opportunities for their cross-application in different 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.
