Wrapping up Metal–Organic Framework Crystals with Carbon Nanotubes (Adv. Funct. Mater. 41/2023)

Metal–Organic Framework Crystals In article number 2302246, Carlos Martí-Gastaldo and co-workers show the use of tetrazine linkers to wrap up the surface of porous molecular crystals with an ultrathin layer of carbon nanotubes. Click chemistry is used to tether the nanotubes to the surface of the crystal to produce a permeable, protective shell. The resulting crystal composite combines water stability, electrical conductivity and permanent porosity of near 4.000 m2 g−1.
