Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent two significant research avenues in the field of materials science. Their unique structures and properties have attracted considerable attention, and the research on MOFs and COFs is advancing rapidly, with promising applications in several fields. The research on MOFs is not only concerned with the optimisation of their structures and properties but also with their applications in specific fields. These include biomedicine, antimicrobial applications and orthopaedic materials, among others. In contrast, COFs demonstrate considerable potential in the fields of sensors, gas separation and electrochemical energy storage, due to their distinctive physicochemical properties. With a more profound comprehension of both materials and the advancement of more effective synthesis techniques, their impact on scientific research and industrial applications will continue to expand.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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.
