The Inside Back Cover shows the crystal structure of an ionized Zr metal–organic framework (MOF) and its selective adsorption of CO 2 over N 2 and CH 4 for applications in clean energy and environmental sustainability. A library of 20 UiO‐66‐derived MOFs is synthesized in a combinatorial approach involving mixed ligand copolymerization and two post‐synthetic modifications in tandem. These MOFs exhibit excellent water stabilities in a pH range of 1 to 12, together with high CO 2 uptake capacities and selectivities as revealed by the analysis of 147 isotherms. This approach paves a way towards the systematic study of water‐stable and affordable MOFs as highly efficient adsorbents for CO 2 separation in the applications of post‐combustion CO 2 capture and natural gas upgrading. More details can be found in the Communication by Hu et al. on page 2791 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201402378 ).
