Owing to their extraordinary robustness and high porosity, chromium(III)‐based metal–organic frameworks (Cr‐MOFs) have great potential, but they are currently difficult to synthesize. In their Communication on page 6478 ff., J. H. Wang, X. M. Zhang et al. describe the preparation of a variety of Cr‐MOFs from the corresponding Fe‐MOFs under mild conditions by solvent‐assisted metal metathesis. This efficient and versatile strategy constitutes a promising route for the synthesis of stable MOFs.
