Outside Back Cover: Spin Frustration Determines the Stability and Reactivity of Metal–Organic Frameworks with Triangular Iron(III)–Oxo Clusters (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 41/2025)
The image illustrates frustrated spins in the triangular Fe3(μ3-O) nodes of the MIL-101(Fe). In their Research Article (e202514014), Leticia González, Georg Kresse and coworkers reveal the true antiferromagnetic ground state of such metal-organic frameworks by using spin-flip, broken-symmetry DFT. This intrinsic spin frustration determines structure stability and controls the temperature-dependent switch between N2 fixation and CO adsorption. The “spin-city” illustration is designed by Caroline Lechner.
