TL;DR: A novel synthetic strategy that exploits a metal-organic framework (MOF)-driven, self-templated route toward nanoporous metal oxides via thermolysis under inert atmosphere is reported, which can be expanded to other nanoporous monometallic and multimetallic oxides with a multitude of potential applications.

TL;DR: A Li-based MOF can detect an explosive aromatic compound containing nitro groups as an explosophore, by showing a dramatic color change with concurrent luminescence quenching in the solid state.

TL;DR: The relationship between the nature of the parent MOF and the porosity of the daughter carbon material-a controversial issue in the synthesis of porous carbons is addressed and will facilitate a deeper understanding of MOF/CP conversion routes and will accelerate further development in this field.

TL;DR: Flexibility is a unique property of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that differentiates them from other rigid inorganic porous materials such as zeolites and porous silica as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a transformative route to nanoporous nanocrystalline metal oxides with tunable oxidation states using manganese oxides as model systems, which enabled the preparation of low-oxidation phase MnO and metastable intermediate phase Mn5O8 with nanoporous architectures.
