Principles of Design and Synthesis of Metal Derivatives from MOFs (Adv. Mater. 24/2023)

MOF-Derived Materials Despite the instability and low electrical conductivity of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-based derivatives (MDs) retain the intricate nanostructures of MOFs while boasting improved stability and significantly higher electrical conductivities. In article number 2210166, Thibault De Villenoisy and co-workers delve into the nanostructural design of MDs, discussing various established and potential future materials, and also identifying and rationalizing design parameters with the aim to guide optimal composition and performance.
