Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To further the success of the Special Issue of Polymers entitled “Coordination Polymer”, we are delighted to reopen the Special Issue, which is now entitled “Coordination Polymer II”.
Coordination polymers (CPs) have attracted a great deal of attention, not only for their fascinating structural characteristics, but also for their potential functional applications, including adsorption, separation, gas storage, catalysis, sensing, and electronic devices. This Special Issue focuses on creating a multidisciplinary forum for discussion on recent advances in the synthesis and exploration of this new class of porous materials and their applications in energy, catalysis, and sensors. This Special Issue welcomes high-quality full articles and short communications containing original research results and review articles of exceptional merit.
Potential topics include (but are not limited to): the design of new ligands in the synthesis and structural topology of new porous CPs; CO2 capture; H2 and CH4 storage; gas separation; water harvesting using adsorptive properties of CPs; heterogeneous catalysis; photocatalysis; fluorescent sensors; and magnetic behavior based on CPs.

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. Polymers 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.

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.
