Cover Story: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) encompass a rapidly expanding class of materials with diverse potential applications that underpin energy storage and energy conversion systems, molecular separation or sensing. In this account, a collaborative team from Trinity College Dublin describes the synthesis of two-dimensional Cu-porphyrin-based MOFs. The compounds are composed of extended one-dimensional, rod-based secondary building units containing either Mn(II) or Co(II) centers. The structural attributes make these compound types promising materials for future photocatalytic investigations, including bio-inspired water oxidation catalysis. View this paper
