Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover picture shows a leaf consisting of a conductive substrate. Onto this, a metal–organic framework (MOF) modified with ruthenium is grown, which then can electrochemically oxidize water. The synthesis of the MOF was conducted in a one‐pot method resulting in a poly‐dispersed distribution of the catalytic centers throughout the framework, with electron transport occurring through a redox hopping mechanism. The MOF film provides 70x the current possible for a homogeneous catalyst approach. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Lin et al. onpage 514 in Issue 3, 2017 (DOI:10.1002/cssc.201601181 ).
