The back cover illustrates scanning electron micrographs of copper(II) hydroxide (elongated crystals) and HKUST‐1 (octahedral crystals). Javier Pérez‐Ramírez and Gerardo Majano demonstrate on page 1052 a sustainable and scalable route to quantitatively converting an insoluble layered hydroxide into the pure metal‐organic framework (MOF) with the highest reported productivities. This simple and low‐cost synthesis is expected to bring an expanded use of this MOF in laboratory investigations and in industrial scenarios.
