A metal-organic framework (MOF) material was integrated with surface superhydrophobicity, high surface areas, large and uniform pore sizes, and excellent stability. This synthetic procedure was completed via an encapsulationrearrangement strategy. Benefiting from the superhydrophobicity, this MOF could be stable in humid environments and maintained its mesoporosity and surface areas for at least 6 months. The MOF-modified sponge has great potential in applications such as oil/water separation, water remediation, and heterogeneous catalysis.

Organo‐pillared indium phosphites for multifunctional materials: By adopting indium phosphite as a platform pillared by organic ligands, porous materials with a turn‐on photoluminescent signal to p‐xylene and superhydrophobic surface are successfully prepared. A facile and unprecedented route to the superhydrophobicity of porous solids via a [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction between the linker and the foreign unit is demonstrated.
