Filling crystalline gaps with small molecules can drive interfacial healing between anisotropic solids. Sufficient mobility from these fillers allows the process to happen at a low temperature of –56 °C. Mended bulk crystals show modulus leap from 4 to 12 GPa and hardness from 400 to 1000 MPa.
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are important to many sectors of science and engineering. The slight ionic nature of their coordination bonds make them dynamic or unstable in a polar medium. On page 6106, Li Tan and co‐workers report that missing building blocks in MOFs can be patched back to the defect sites, and that mended crystals at a low temperature show significantly improved appearance and...
