Solid-State NMR Provides Location-Specific Information on the Chemical Environment Inside MOF Pores
Solid-state NMR can capture the inequivalence of differently shaped MOF pores. We show that the chemical shifts of reporting substituents that extend a defined distance into a MOF pore reflect the por...

3-Center-3-Electron σ-Adduct Enables Silyl Radical Transfer below the Minimum Barrier for Silyl Radical Formation
Transition-metal-catalyzed cleavage of the Si–H bond in silanes to yield silyl radicals requires substantial amounts of energy, which are commonly supplied by photons. For Rh(II) porphyrins, efficient...

Congratulations Marco!
Metal‐Organic Framework–Specific Catalysis
MOF catalysis is not a successor to either homogeneous or classical heterogeneous catalysis, but rather a distinct domain of catalysis with its own set of advantages and limitations. This concept art...
