Summary: This study reports a series of single and multiple (bi-varietal and tri-varietal) pillar-layered metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films (surface-coordinated MOF thin films, SURMOFs) with high lattice mismatch. The SURMOFs were successfully grown on the substrate surfaces with preferred [001]-orientation using a liquid-phase epitaxial (LPE) layer by layer pump method. The results show that the representative bi-varietal SURMOF with large lattice mismatch has different adsorption behavior from single SURMOFs, providing a new strategy to achieve tuning of the adsorption kinetics performance in sensing applications.

Summary: The reactivity of 2,3-pyridine-dicarboxylic and 2,5-pyridine-dicarboxylic acids as ligands towards the niobium(IV) tetrachloride precursor was studied, resulting in the formation of four crystalline mononuclear coordination complexes with different molecular arrangements. Each complex showed an eightfold coordination of the niobium(IV) center and exhibited unique structural characteristics. Magnetic measurements, EPR and XPS were used to analyze the d(1) configuration of the niobium(IV) centers, revealing an anti-ferromagnetism transition at very low temperatures for certain complexes.

Summary: A facile strategy for highly-efficient activation of MOFs utilizing rotating packed bed is proposed, which can completely activate nine representative MOFs within 2 hours without structural change. Compared with conventional methods, this activation strategy accelerates solvent diffusion and redissolution of residual reactants, significantly shortening the activation time and improving methane storage capacity.

Summary: This article describes a new method for synergistic tumor therapy using supramolecular coordination complexes. Two triangular metallacycles were constructed by the formation of pyridyl boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-platinum coordination. One of the metallacycles showed good tumor penetration and transport visualization within the tumor. It was successfully incorporated into nanoparticles and applied in chemo-photodynamic tumor therapy, showing excellent therapeutic efficacy in malignant glioma cells.

Summary: In biological systems, biomacromolecules can undergo reversible interconversion among multiple states in response to external stimuli. Constructing metallo-supramolecular systems with reversible interconversion remains a challenge. In this study, a pH-responsive ligand was used to construct metallo-supramolecular hexagonal wreaths capable of in situ reversible interconversion among four states, with efficient conversion and structural integrity.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have tunable pore size, large surface area, and potential active sites, making them excellent platforms for heterogeneous catalysis. The synthesis of a bifunctional TEMPO-IsoNTA organocatalyst with a pyridyl group as an anchoring site and a TEMPO radical as a catalytic active site is reported. Using the topologically isomorphic structures of MIL-101(Fe) and MIL-101(Cr) as co-catalysts, these MOF/TEMPO-IsoNTA systems enable efficient aerobic oxidation of alcohols under mild conditions. The MIL-101(Fe)/TEMPO-IsoNTA system exhibits superior catalytic activity due to redox-active Fe-III-oxo nodes that facilitate the regeneration of TEMPO-IsoNTA. This research not only avoids potential heavy metal contamination in homogeneous TEMPO-based catalytic systems, but also enhances understanding of MOFs/organocatalysts synergy.

Summary: Metallo-supramolecular architectures constructed by coordination-driven self-assembly have attracted significant attention due to their precise structures and wide-ranging applications. However, the effects of metal cations and counter anions on the structural stabilities of these architectures have been rarely investigated. In this study, a series of octahedral metallo-cages capable of tolerating various metal cations and counter anions were constructed. The results showed that the stability of the cages depended on the coordination abilities and stacking manners of the metal cations and counter anions. This work provides insights into the field of metallo-supramolecular chemistry and enables the design of more sophisticated assembled structures with desired functions.

Summary: In the field of supramolecular chemistry, host-guest systems have been widely used to encapsulate various substrates, but their application is limited to small molecules. This study presents a water-soluble metallo-supramolecular hexagonal prism with a large hydrophobic cavity by attaching multiple polyethylene glycol chains to the building blocks. The assembled prisms can encapsulate quantum dots with diameters below 5.0 nm. Furthermore, the supramolecular cage surrounding each quantum dot effectively modifies their photophysics by increasing the rates of relaxation processes. This work expands the substrate scope in host-guest systems and provides a new approach to tune the optical properties of quantum dots.

Summary: Coordination-driven self-assembly allows for the spontaneous construction of highly precise metallo-supramolecules through dynamic and reversible metal-ligand interactions. However, the dynamic nature of coordination often leads to structural instability in many metallo-supramolecular assembly systems. In this study, an acid-/base-responsive tridentate ligand is incorporated into multitopic building blocks to achieve self-assembly reversibility and structural stability in metallo-supramolecular cages. The in situ transformation of these dynamic assemblies provides a reliable approach to manipulate the kinetic features and stability of metallo-supramolecules and enables modulation of encapsulation and release behaviors when utilizing nanoscale quantum dots (QDs) as guest molecules.
