Modern chemical science increasingly focuses not only on discovery but also on translating these advances into processes that are robust, efficient, safe, and sustainable at scale. This Special Issue, “From Flask to Factory: Chemical Innovations That Scale,” hosted by ACS Organic & Inorganic Au, will demonstrate how advances in organic, inorganic, and process chemistry translate into tangible improvements in industry.

Metal clusters play a uniquely important role in MOF construction, serving not merely as structural nodes but as well-defined inorganic modules with tunable nuclearity, geometry, oxidation state, and electronic structure. The growing global emphasis on sustainable technologies and advanced functional materials has brought cluster-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to the forefront of inorganic chemistry research.

This joint Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advances in molecular magnetism, building on the interdisciplinary momentum generated by the 19th International Conference on Molecular Magnetism. Submit your manuscript by September 30, 2026. Molecular magnetism and molecule-based magnets represent a vibrant, interdisciplinary research area that bridges chemistry, physics, materials science, and theory.
