Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among the many emergent physical properties of framework materials, especially metal-organic and covalent organic frameworks (MOFs and COFs), photo interaction with these materials is an important research area due to its potential applications in photo-chemistry, as well as its photo-physical-based applications. This is because the intrinsic structural order, predictable and tailored building units and topology of these framework materials render a straightforward structure–property correlation, which is a challenging task for the contemporary self-assembled organic materials, as well as inorganic materials. A straightforward integration strategy for optically active organic and inorganic units into MOFs and COFs has built excitement in the material science community, and, hence, a very large fraction of research is currently directed towards exploring new photophysical and chemical properties of the framework solids.
In this Special Issue, we aim to collect research articles and reviews that are focused on the area of photochemistry and physics of both MOFs and COFs. Some of the exciting aspects that we would like to focus on are “topochemical reaction, photopolymerization/condensation, photoredox processes, light-harvesting, nonlinear optics, photoinduced charge transfer, and photoswitches”. We believe that this collection, encompassing the exciting optical properties of the framework solids, will represent its emergent nature and will be a guide and inspiration to the young MOF/COF material science community. We very much look forward to having your exciting research shared with us.

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.
