Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce a Special Issue on “Crystal Chemical Design of Inorganic Materials: From Structural Features to Advanced Physical Properties” of the Materials Journal.
Modern chemistry of inorganic materials is based on a detailed analysis of the features of crystal structures of compounds, since even the slightest changes in chemical composition or atomic coordinational environment can lead to a significant change in the quality of observed physical properties. This basic principle is realized in a wide range of types of inorganic materials used in modern technologies.
The crystal chemical design of new compounds involves a direct synthesis of compounds with optimal compositions taking into account structural data, which makes it possible to use one type of inorganic matrix for different technological applications. Thus, the basic principle of solid state chemistry is realized: from chemical composition and crystal structure features to advanced physical properties.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to summarize the data on different types of inorganic matrices exhibiting crystal chemical variability and isomorphic capacity, which is expressed in different types of physical properties.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
