Summary: Six isostructural three-dimensional Ln(III)-organic frameworks were fabricated using a multifunctional ligand H3MIDC, exhibiting humidity- and temperature-dependent proton conductivity. The proton conductivity systematically enhances with decreasing ionic radius, suggesting that lanthanide contraction tactics effectively regulate proton conductivity. These Ln-MOFs show promising potential for future applications due to their water and electrochemical stability.

Summary: The first examination of Fecht's acid as a non-aromatic terephthalic acid isostere revealed the potential for greater steric bulk and control of interpenetration in MOFs. The structures of two new MOFs showed promising results in terms of pore chemistry and thermal stability, suggesting the use of non-aromatic backbones as a means to disfavor deleterious inter-framework contacts.

Summary: The confinement of proton carrier molecules in nanostructures can reduce their proton dissociation energy. However, restricted molecular motion from surface attraction impedes the easy transportation of free protons. To address this issue, imidazole is confined in the channels of porous coordination polymers with tunable geometries, and its electric/structural relaxations are measured. Imidazole confined in square-shaped channels exhibits heterogeneity in dynamics with a core-shell-cylinder model. The dimensions and geometry of the nanochannels play a crucial role in shielding the blocking effect from attractive surfaces and facilitating the filling of internal proton carrier molecules, leading to enhanced dynamics and proton conductivity.

Summary: Rheology experiments and density functional theory calculations were used to characterize the stability of coordination complexes between histamine and imidazole with Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+. It was found that the binding hierarchy is driven by the specific affinity of the metal ions to different coordination states, which can be macroscopically tuned by changing the metal-to-ligand stoichiometry. These findings facilitate the rational selection of metal ions for optimizing the mechanical properties of metal-coordinated materials.

Summary: Two new zinc-triazole-carboxylate frameworks were synthesized using a thiophene-containing dicarboxylate and two different triazole ligands. Compound 1 is a 3D anionic porous framework based on dinuclear Zn(II) tetracarboxylate paddlewheel SBUs and dinuclear [Zn-2(tz)(2)] subunits, while compound 2 is a neutral 3D framework based on Zn-triazolate layers and dicarboxylate pillars. Both frameworks exhibit irreversible solid-state structural transformations upon solvent removal/uptake, and show CO2-induced, gate-opening adsorption isotherms at 195 K. Compound 1 selectively adsorbs cationic dyes, while compound 2 hardly adsorbs any selected dyes.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with potential applications in gas separation, drug delivery, sensing, and catalysis. This study demonstrates that increasing the reaction concentration during the synthesis of MOFs leads to the unexpected trapping of a new framework called CORN-MOF-1. The structure of CORN-MOF-1 is similar to that of known MOFs, but with partially protonated linkers and charge-balancing or coordinated formate groups. CORN-MOF-1 exhibits strong photoluminescence in the solid state, while other MOFs show weak emissive properties due to excimer formation.

Summary: Chiral self-sorting is crucial for structure formation in nature and chemistry. Perylene diimide (PDI)-based coordination polymers (CPs) with large π-planes offer potential applications in sensors and optoelectronics. The LeuPDI-Cd CPs exhibit unique chiral self-recognition and high sensitivity and selectivity in detecting ethylenediamine. The MetPDI-Cd CPs demonstrate enhanced conductivity and are used in photodetectors and chemiresistive sensors for the detection of toxic phenylhydrazine.

Summary: A series of novel 3D coordination polymers, assembled from selected lanthanide ions and a non-explored quinoline-2,4-dicarboxylate building block, were prepared under hydrothermal conditions. The structures and properties of the metal complexes were characterized, and it was found that the synthesis temperature and the presence of water molecules played important roles in determining the structural diversity and stability of the complexes. The luminescence properties of the complexes were measured and analyzed, and their correlation with the crystal structures was established. Overall, this study provides insights into the synthesis and properties of 3D coordination polymers.

Summary: In this study, a one-step detection method for microRNAs based on the RNA-based catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) circuit coupled with CRISPR-Cas12a was proposed. The target miRNA can specifically trigger RNA-based CHA and induce a configurational change of the blocked crRNAs into precursor crRNAs (pre-crRNAs), which can be processed into mature crRNAs to function by leveraging the inherent RNase activities of Cas12a. The developed circuit achieves a femtomolar detection limit and shows accurate detection of miRNA levels in different cell lines.

Summary: This work presents studies on the photochemical transformations of TU and Cys with the addition of Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions. The results show that the oxidation rate of the thiols increases significantly when Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions are added to the system. It has also been found that TU and Cys can form stable complex compounds with the studied metal ions. The oxidation rates of the thiols are found to depend on the radiation intensity and emission spectrum of the irradiation sources.

Summary: The structure and electrochemical properties of zinc(II) complexes with a face-capping ligand have been investigated, revealing the effect of the ligand on bound semiquinonate (SQ) radicals. The substitution pattern of the SQ ring plays a crucial role in determining the fate of the bound SQ radicals. Additionally, the protective pocket formed by the ligand's phenyl substituents is unable to prevent decomposition of SQ radicals with minimal steric bulk, suggesting that substitution of the SQ ring is the main contributor to their stabilization.

Summary: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of copper, nickel, and palladium complexes bound by bidentate ligands derived from ortho-phenylenediamine are described. The complexes contain tunable H-bond donors and their crystal structures reveal intramolecular H-bonding interactions between the ligand scaffolds. Variations in the coordination sphere led to the isolation of the complexes in square-planar or twisted pseudo-tetrahedral geometries. Structural analysis showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions can be altered by disrupting the bonds between countercations, solvent of crystallization, and ligand scaffold, resulting in changes in the geometry of the complexes. DFT calculations confirmed that Cu complexes prefer twisted geometries while Ni and Pd complexes favor square-planar geometries.
