Summary: Ligand functionalization allows for modification of the properties of coordination cages, but optimizing multiple properties can be challenging. Mixed-ligand cages can potentially address this issue by combining the benefits of various functional groups. Direct synthesis of mixed-ligand products is necessary for molybdenum(II) paddlewheel-based cages. Highly soluble, highly porous, and thermally stable cuboctahedral cages can be obtained using this strategy.

Summary: A sulfonated poly(ethersulfone) (SPES)-metal-organic framework (MOF) film with excellent proton conductivity was synthesized by anchoring UiO-66-NH2 to the main chain of the aromatic polymer through the Hinsberg reaction. The chemical bond formed between the amino group in MOFs and the -SO2Cl group in chlorosulfonated poly(ethersulfones) enabled the membrane to have excellent proton conductivity. Experimental and simulated results confirmed the successful synthesis of UiO-66-NH2 using powder X-ray diffraction patterns. Fourier transform infrared spectra also confirmed the successful preparation of SPES, PES-SO2Cl, and a composite film.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been extensively studied for gas separation membranes in recent years. New preparation methods have been developed for MOFs and COFs, as well as for mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). Unique processes and materials, such as Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) transforming into glasses and liquids with permanent porosity for manufacturing potent MMMs, have been highlighted. MOF materials influenced by external stimuli offer new directions for performance enhancement using in situ techniques.

Summary: This study investigated the photocatalytic reduction of U(VI) using MOF photocatalysts. The results showed that the NH2--MIL-125(Ti)@TpPa-1 heterojunction had better photoreduction efficiency and could convert U(VI) into U(IV). Photogenerated electrons and superoxide radicals played important roles in the photoreduction process. The hybridization of MOF@COF acted synergistically in the adsorption-photocatalytic reduction of U(VI).

Summary: In this study, a thiosemicarbazide-linked covalent organic framework TpTc was successfully prepared with an agaric-like structure, large specific surface area, and uniform pore size distribution. TpTc showed high adsorption capacities for Cu(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II) ions through multi-layer sorption involving chemical adsorption, following the Freundlich and pseudo-second-order model. XPS analysis revealed the adsorption mechanism involving coordination and electrostatic interaction between metal ions and N, O, and S atoms on TpTc COF.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)/coordination polymers have potential applications in gas separation, fuel storage, catalysis, and biopharmaceuticals. This study explores the possibility of using MOFs as structural adhesives. By applying a sintering technique to a ZIF-67 gel, Cu substrates can be joined with a shear strength comparable to conventional adhesives. The study also investigates the effects of temperature and pressure on adhesion, finding that the removal of excess 2-methylimidazole and acetic acid from the sintered material results in a microstructure essential for achieving high shear strength.

Summary: This study demonstrates a microwave facilitated synthesis process to attach few-layer covalent organic framework (COF) films onto monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC). The electronic coupling between TMDC and COF at higher TMDC defect densities results in a shift in the A-exciton peak location of MoSe2.

Summary: The research discovered the rearrangement mechanism of cyclopentadienone 7 into cyclophane 6, which was found to occur in two steps with the involvement of ethanol as a solvent molecule according to DFT computational study. Furthermore, the rearrangement could be avoided by generating 7 under mild conditions and using benzynes as dienophiles to afford the targeted cyclophanes 14 and 16, the latter of which exhibits dual fluorescence emission.

Summary: A series of cyanomethylcarbamoyl-bridged molecular ensembles were synthesized using a simple two-step Strecker-acylation method, resulting in arene-arene dyads with unique solid-state optical properties. The solid-state fluorescence properties were found to be significantly influenced by the arene groups and the molecular packing in the crystalline state. The close face-to-face stacking of the fluorogenic arenes in the solid state led to long-wavelength luminescence, while the cyanomethylcarbamoyl bridge offered a binding site for fluoride anion, enabling fluorescence turn-off sensing in polar organic solvents such as DMSO.
