  • Uranium extraction is important for both uranium recovery and nuclear waste management. Here, inspired by the high sensitivity of proteins towards specific metal ions, Ma and colleagues demonstrate that introducing secondary coordination spheres into amidoxime-functionalized porous polymers can enhance their uranyl chelating abilities.

  • Strong metal–support interactions (SMSI) are effective in tuning the structures and catalytic performances of catalysts but limited by the poor exposure of active sites. Here, the authors develop a strategy to engineer SMSI via a reverse route, which is in favor of metal site exposure while embracing the SMSI.

  • A series of chiral metal–organic frameworks with channels of tunable size have been modified through post-synthetic functionalization to bear catalytic centres along their pore walls. The resulting materials catalyse a carbon–carbon-bond-forming reaction, and the enantioselectivity of the transformation can be altered by changing the size of the channels.

  • Amidoxime-functionalized polymeric adsorbents are the most promising materials for harvesting uranium from seawater. Here the authors investigate the preferential extraction of vanadium over uranium by polyamidoximes by exploring the unusually strong and selective binding of vanadium.
