Innenrücktitelbild: Integrated Soft Porosity and Electrical Properties of Conductive‐on‐Insulating Metal‐Organic Framework Nanocrystals (Angew. Chem. 35/2023)

Conductive-on-insulating metal–organic framework (cMOF-on-iMOF) heterostructured nanocrystals are reported by Ken-ichi Otake, Susumu Kitagawa et al. in their Research Article (e202303903). These nanocrystals combine soft porosity and electrical properties into a single material. They exhibit semiconductive soft porous interfaces that connect a flexible core and a chemiresistive shell. The cMOF-on-iMOF nanocrystals demonstrate enhanced selective sorption towards CO2, as well as readable softness, electrical gating, and shape memory effects for the guest-responsive iMOF core.
