Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Light-emitting materials have always attracted huge attention, and today, with the possibilities of their practical application increasing at an incredibly fast pace, they are in a huge demand. Light-emitting complexes find their application in the obtaining of sensor materials, including biosensors and in the production of new generation displays, and new areas of application arise, such as luminescent contactless thermometry, etc. The importance of metal complexes as emitters is connected to their features, such as the possibility of the obtaining of narrow-band lanthanide emission or TADF luminescence of copper complexes, as well as to their stability, including thermal, compared to pure organic materials.
It is important to create new materials, or candidates to materials, taking into account the whole number of properties, which are in demand for a certain application, and the vector of the inorganic synthesis is shifted from pure synthesis toward the directed design of the compounds, which a priori demonstrate the properties in demand.
The topics covered in this Special Issue include light-emitting complexes of various metals, including d- and f-elements, and their numerous applications in chemistry, optoelectronics, or biomedicine. Light emission in the visible, as well as the NIR and UV range is within the scope of interest. New complexes with interesting properties, including with yet unclear applications, are also accepted.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
