Nature Chemistry, Published online: 08 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02248-wRigid coordination bonds readily generate highly connected secondary building units in metal–organic frameworks, but weaker and less directional interactions have rarely afforded comparable architectures in molecular crystals. Now ammonium halide ion pairs are shown to aggregate into discrete clusters that function as soft secondary building units, opening a route to non-metallic organic frameworks with diverse topologies.

Nature Reviews Clean Technology, Published online: 09 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s44359-026-00218-6Carbon dioxide removal has been described both as a mitigation necessity and as a risk to mitigation ambition or sustainability in the academic literature. This Comment examines the assumptions underlying carbon dioxide removal narratives and investigates whether they are reconcilable to inform the focus of research and policy.

An in-depth phenomic analysis of health and disease patterns from 1.9 million participants of the Our Future Health cohort reports the prevalence of health conditions and medication-use patterns compared with national UK estimates and the UK Biobank.

Communications Chemistry, Published online: 10 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s42004-026-02185-2Incorporating nitrogen into π-conjugated hydrocarbons provides a powerful way to tune molecular geometry, electronic and light-emission properties. Here, the authors report two modular synthetic strategies for precisely positioning nitrogen atoms in double aza-helicenes and diazabenzo-fused terrylenes.
