Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organometallic chemistry stands as a captivating and dynamic branch of chemical science, dedicated to the synthesis, structural characterization, and functional exploration of compounds that integrate both metal and organic components. These unique compounds, including metal–organic frameworks, cages, and clusters, play a pivotal role in advancing diverse fields such as coordination chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, catalytic chemistry, materials science, and synthetic chemistry. The evolution of organometallic chemistry has transcended traditional synthesis, now extending its reach into the realm of intelligent functional materials.
In this Special Issue, we spotlight recent advancements in the synthesis, functionalities, and structural property relationships of organometallic materials. By seamlessly combining the advantageous properties of metals and organic components, these materials have been extensively studied for their applications in catalysis, optics, electronics, magnetics, and beyond. This issue not only highlights the latest breakthroughs in organometallic chemistry, but also introduces innovative concepts for the development of next-generation materials and their applications across a wide range of disciplines.
Through this collection, we aim to inspire further exploration and innovation, fostering a deeper understanding of the transformative potential of organometallic chemistry in addressing contemporary scientific and technological challenges.

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.
