A novel, biocompatible, calcium-based coordination polymer was hydrothermally synthesized using as linker the bone antiresorptive bisphosphonate alendronate. Its structure was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by chemical analysis, infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Its bioactivity was finally evaluated in vitro, revealing a very high stability towards simulated body fluid

Benchmarked micro or nanosized HKUST-1, ZIF-8 and Fe3(BTC)2 as well as template-assisted Fe3(BTC)2 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of various morphologies were synthesized via a green and scalable aerosol route. Their high space time yields make this continuous method very promising for the industrial production and shaping of MOFs.

The front cover picture shows nanoparticles of mesoporous metal trimesate MIL‐100(Al, Cr or Fe) metal–organic framework, which were synthesized by a microwave‐assisted solvothermal route using green solvents. The optimization of yield, crystallinity, and particle size was achieved through the control of synthetic parameters. The particle size strongly depends on the nature of the metallic cation and the organic precursor, leading to nanoparticles smaller than 100 nm for iron‐ and chromium‐based MIL‐100 . Finally, stable colloidal solutions of iron and chromium MIL‐100 nanoparticles were obtained to prepare thin films of high optical quality by dip coating, and their porosity was investigated by environmental ellipsometry. Details are discussed in the article by P. Horcajada, C. Serre, C. Boissière et al. on p. 5165 ff.
