Summary: By anchoring CuI ions with synergistic dual-pyrazol sites of MOF-303, high C2H2 packing density and efficient C2H2/CO2 separation were achieved. Adsorption experiments demonstrated that CuI@MOF-303 could quickly adsorb C2H2 with a high density, surpassing any previously reported adsorbents. CuI@MOF-303 also exhibited a high C2H2/CO2 selectivity and separation factor, making it a promising candidate for industrial C2H2 purification.

Summary: The solvothermal assembly of copper(II) cations and 5-(pyridine-3-yl)isophthalate linkers with different positions of substituted methyl groups produced four ligand-induced metal-organic framework (MOF) isomers. These isomers showed diverse selective gas adsorption properties and framework flexibilities heavily dependent on the methyl position, with the capability of effectively separating binary gas mixtures. Altering the methyl position led to tailored uptake capacities, adsorption selectivities, and framework hydro-stability. This study highlights the significance of the positional effect of functional groups in modulating MOF structures and properties.

Summary: A novel strategy for constructing hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by introducing low-coordination-number copper in zirconium-oxygen clusters is proposed. The Cu-doped MOF exhibits larger specific surface area and higher adsorption capacity for cefradine compared to the Cu-absence sample and other reported adsorbents. The adsorption behavior is well-described by Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order model, and is gradually enhanced with increasing pH. The adsorbent can be effectively regenerated using ethanol as the eluent, and the mechanism of cefradine adsorption is driven by electrostatic, hydrogen bond and coordination interactions.

Summary: Hierarchically porous enzyme@peptide-directed metal-organic frameworks (enzyme@MOFs-P) nanoarchitectures were constructed by implemented site-selective epitaxial growth to create mesopore and defect structures. The enzyme@MOFs-P-based plasmonic immunosensor showed improved sensitivity for the detection of imidacloprid pesticide compared to a typical immunoassay, achieving quantitative detection with a half maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.02 ng mL(-1). This work provides valuable insights into engineering size-tunable nanostructures and the structure-activity relationship of MOFs, guiding the construction of plasmonic biosensors for on-site application.

Summary: Micro- and nano-metal-organic frameworks with different adsorption properties were prepared using a time-modulation hydrothermal method. The most effective MIL-68(Fe)-12 was selected and mixed with chitosan to prepare porous metal-organic framework-acrylamide-chitosan composite aerogel (PMACA). Introducing acrylamide improved the adsorption capacity of PMACA, which was 1.48 times higher compared to the undoped PMCA. The stability of PMACA was enhanced with the introduction of acrylamide.

Summary: Ni(II) doping in MIL-101(Cr) resulted in morphological and structural defects, creating a new mesoporous structure that enhanced the adsorption efficiency for linear anionic azo dyes (e.g. Congo red and methyl orange) but decreased it for non-linear azo dyes (e.g. acid chrome blue K) due to steric hindrance. The adsorption performance of Ni(II)-doped MIL-101(Cr) was found to be controlled by the synergetic interplay among electrostatic interactions, steric hindrance, and the morphological and structural defects, pore volume, and mesoporous structure of the adsorbent.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
