In this issue of Acta Crystallographica Section B, Moghzi et al. (2020) report the chemical design of a metal-organic compound with an outstanding iodine (I2) sorption capability. Sequestration of I2, an extremely volatile gas, has important applications in terms of controlling radioactive gases, as various radionuclides of I2 are released during the fission of nuclear fuels. Thus, the preparation of porous materials that can efficiently capture and store I2 is of importance not only from an academic point of view, but also for real-life applications.
