In this issue, M. Dincă et al. review electric conductivity in porous metal–organic frameworks. What is the recent progress in this field, what are the design principles of this emerging class of materials? In a Minireview, D. E. Fogg et al. discuss olefin metathesis in industrial production. The Highlight deals with gene editing (Á. Somoza).

In the Communications section, C. M. Williams et al. validate Eaton’s hypothesis regarding cubane as a benzene bioisostere (see picture). J. L. Kiplinger et al. present infinite coordination polymers of thorium diazide. S. Jeong et al. succeeded in the preparation of passivated indium phosphate colloidal quantum dots in tetrahedral shape.
