Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Cheng-an Tao, Jianfang Wang and co-workers at the University of Defense Technology. The image depicts a novel starfruit-shaped metal-organic framework composed of zirconium and tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine linkers and characterized by 2D nanosheet petals grown through edge-sharing that showcases superior catalytic activity.
