In article number 1707427 , Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Guangwei He, and co‐workers from EPFL report a novel method for crystalizing ultrathin metal‐organic framework membranes, demonstrating outstanding performance for propylene‐propane separation. The versatile crystallization method, allowing controlled heterogeneous nucleation on unmodified substrates, can be extended to a wide‐range of nanoporous crystals for the synthesis of defect‐free polycrystalline thin films.
