Cover Feature: Tuning the Reactivities of the Heteronuclear [Al<sub>n</sub>V<sub>3−n</sub>O<sub>7−n</sub>]<sup> </sup> (n=1, 2) Cluster Oxides towards Methane by Varying the Composition of the Metal Centers (Chem. Eur. J. 12/2019).

- Abstract
The catalytic activity of metal‐oxide materials can be tuned by adjusting the local composition of the metal centers, as demonstrated by a gas‐phase example. [Al2VO5] selectively breaks only one C−H bond with concomitant generation of a methyl group, either chemisorbed on an Al center or liberated at room temperature. By replacing one Al atom of [Al2VO5] with a V=O unit, the cluster [AlV2O6] gains a higher oxidizing ability such that it converts methane to formaldehyde. More information can be found in the Communication by S. Zhou et al. on page 2967.
