Abstract

Metal-Phenolic Networks In article number 2503077, Beom Jin Kim, Kyungtae Kang, and co-workers propose multiphase liquid condensates armoured with a purple metal–phenolic network (MPN) membrane formed via coordination between tannic acid and Fe3+ ions. The MPN membrane protects the internal compartments from external stimuli, mimicking the selective barrier function of membrane-less organelles. Red particles represent reactive chemical species attempting to penetrate the protocell membrane.
