Inside Cover: Layer‐by‐Layer Assembled Conductive Metal–Organic Framework Nanofilms for Room‐Temperature Chemiresistive Sensing (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52/2017)

Electrically conductive metal–-organic framework (EC-MOF) thin films can be fabricated by a spray layer-by-layer liquid-phase epitaxial method. In their Communication on page 16510 ff., G. Xu and co-workers use OH functionalized substrates to orient the film growth. The corresponding chemiresistor gas sensors exhibit excellent room-temperature sensing for NH3, a typical biomarker for kidney and liver diseases in breath analysis.
