The pKa Values of Water in Water: A Long-Standing, Tiresome, yet Soon Forgotten Issue?
CHIMIAThe pKa values of water and the hydrogen ion (proton) in water are 14 and 0, respectively. Yet, many textbooks of general, organic, and, to a lesser extent, inorganic chemistry provide the incorrect values 15.74 and -1.74, respectively.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with metals have been recognized as versatile platforms for photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2PRR). Herein, an overview of metal integration strategies for COFs is systematically summarized. Regulatory mechanisms and structure–activity relationships between metal integration and COF‐based CO2PRR are emphasized.

3D‐Printed Porous Hydroxyapatite Formed via Enzymatic Mineralization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bone combines lightness, strength, and the ability to heal, inspiring new materials design. This work introduces a room‐temperature, enzyme‐mediated 3D printing method to create porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. The process avoids energy‐intensive sintering, preserves bioactivity, and allows control over porosity and mineralization.
