Abstract
AbstractThe cover picture a schematic design of a porous metal–organic framework as the background. Embedded in the MOF are illustrations representing some of the thought‐provoking contributions that make up this Cluster Issue entitled “Targeted Fabrication of MOFs for Hybrid Functionality”. With a focus towards application, this issue serves to showcase the research at the forefront of the field. The top left‐hand graphic symbolises the use of nanoscale MOFs as MRI contrast agents (W. Lin et al.; p. 3725 ff), while the bottom left depicts the use of MOFs as supports for metal nanoparticles in catalysis (R. A. Fischer et al.; p. 3701 ff). The structure–property relationship of uranyl–organic frameworks (top right‐hand corner), important in photovoltaics is highlighted by J.‐S. Chen et al. (p. 3780 ff), and the synthesis of MOF composites for use as a stationary phase in HPLC (bottom right‐hand corner) is discussed by D. E. De Vos et al. (p. 3735 ff). A sincere thanks to the authors for their excellent contributions to the cover. We thank Heulwen Price for designing the background.
