Back Cover: Mixed-Valence CuI/CuIII Metal–Organic Frameworks with Non-innocent Ligand for Multielectron Transfer (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 50/2023)
Graphical Abstract
Two novel Cu(I)/Cu(III) mixed-valence metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are synthesized from Cu(II) and redox-non-innocent ligand 1,4-dicyano-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroxybenzene, as reported by Watchareeya Kaveevivitchai, Teng-Hao Chen et al. in their Research Article (e202312494). The coordination between the mixed-valence metal and redox-non-innocent ligand promotes through-bond charge transfer between Cu metal sites, leading to semiconducting behavior and multielectron transfer.
