Frontispiece: A Highly Stable Framework of Crystalline Zinc Phosphite with Selective Removal, Recovery, and Turn‐On Sensing Abilities for Mercury Cations in Aqueous Solutions

Abstract

A new crystalline framework of organic–inorganic hybrid zinc phosphite (NTOU‐4) not only exhibits the high thermal stability (up to 400 °C in air) and chemical resistance to seawater, aqueous solutions (pH 3–11), and organic solvents at boiling conditions, but also shows selective removal, recovery and “turn‐on” sensing abilities for toxic mercury ions in aqueous solutions. For the full story see the Communication by C.‐M. Wang et al. on page 9729 ff.
