Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scientific research and development in the field of material sciences cover the synthesis, crystal structural integrity, physicochemical properties, and applications of coordination polymers (CPs). This is because the combination of properties of organic ligands and metal ions allows conveying the final material properties, which would not exist in typical complexes or in each discrete candidate alone. Additionally, the ability to adjust the dimensionality of the final compound allows control over materials’ properties, such as porosity or magnetism. From these properties derive a wide variety of applications, for example, gas storage or catalysis.
Our goal is to collect all the continuing research and future standpoints as well as thorough reviews on the design, synthesis, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, molecular magnetism, topological nature, and supramolecular assembly of coordination polymers. This Special Issue accepts high-quality full articles and short communications containing original research findings of a new class of porous materials and their applications in energy, catalysis, and sensors.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
