Summary: Constructing open metal sites with higher valence state in bimetallic organic frameworks of MIL-47(xV/Cr)-Brs enhances the adsorption performance for deep removal of thiophene-based sulfurs from oil. The synergistic effect of enhanced Metal-S and pi-pi interactions, as well as the H-Bond between mu 2-OH and S of thiophene, improves the desulfurization performance, resulting in excellent capacity of 256 mgS g-1 and high selectivity of thiophene/aromatics. This bimetallic MOF shows superior capacity even in harsh operation conditions and demonstrates potential for adsorptive desulfurization in practical applications.

Summary: In this study, we prepared photo-switchable metal-organic frameworks decorated with Cu2O active sites, showing controllable guest capture. The obtained PMOFs exhibited higher adsorption capacity due to strong interaction with guest molecules. The azobenzene moieties in the PMOFs could freely switch between trans and cis isomerization upon light irradiation, leading to controlled exposure and shelter of the active sites for tailored guest capture.

Summary: The chemical industry contributes around 7% of the global GDP, with 40% of its energy consumption coming from separation/purification processes of commodity chemicals. The use of recyclable adsorbents, such as metal-organic framework (MOF) physisorbents, shows promise in reducing this energy footprint, particularly in the separation of C6 cyclic hydrocarbons like benzene and cyclohexane. Despite the potential of MOFs as selective adsorbents, further research is needed to fully explore their capabilities in this niche area.

Summary: Researchers enhanced the performance of MIL-100(Fe) for As(V) adsorption by introducing benzoic acid as a modulator, creating vacancy defects in the structure. The modified adsorbent showed larger surface area and pore size, resulting in improved adsorption capacity for As(V). However, the presence of competing compounds such as carbonate and phosphate anions needs to be addressed for effective adsorption.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
