Summary: The amalgamation of different disciplines at the heart of reticular chemistry has broadened the boundaries of chemistry. Reticular design enables precise prediction of crystalline framework structures, tunability of chemical composition, and fine-tuning of material properties in metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks. Leveraging the unique properties of reticular materials has led to significant advances in both fundamental and applied research.

Summary: Flexible porous frameworks are a cutting-edge area of materials research due to their ability to adaptively open and close pores induced by chemical and physical stimuli, offering a wide range of functions. However, the factors influencing the switchability are still poorly understood, including the role of building blocks, crystal size, defects, cooperativity, and host-guest interactions. This review discusses an integrated approach using idealized model materials to systematically investigate and understand the critical factors affecting framework dynamics, leading to progress in their understanding and application.

Summary: In this study, highly conductive and cyclic-stable Ti3C2 MXene@Ni-MOF composites were reported, where the MXene immobilized the Ni-MOF nanosheets, enabling fast charge transfer and preventing nanosheet aggregation. The strong interaction between the organic ligands of Ni-MOF and surface functional groups of MXene also enhanced ion transport rate and increased the layer spacing of MXene, resulting in excellent capacitance performance and cycling stability of the composite material.

Summary: The adoption of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has significantly enhanced the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance, which has gained attention due to the widespread use of electronics and wireless communication. The tunable molecular scaffold architecture of MOFs allows for customizable magnetic and electrical properties, making them ideal for shielding EM waves at multiple scales. This review highlights the importance of molecular-, nano-, micro-, and macro-scale structural design in MOF-based EMI shields, outlines current design strategies, and examines the factors hindering their widespread utilization. Future research directions for the rational design of next-generation MOF-based EMI shields are also proposed to address the concerns regarding EM radiation.

Summary: In a flow photochemical process, the effect of different irradiation times on reactions can be analyzed in a single experiment by switching off the light source and monitoring the reaction composition. The switch-off method was demonstrated using three reactions: [2 + 2] intermolecular photocycloadditions between an alkene and alkyne, and between two alkenes, and a Mallory photocyclization of cis-stilbene.

Summary: A Cu(II)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu(muco)(3,5-DCP)](n) (1) with a square-grid two-dimensional (2D) structure and paddle-wheel [Cu-2(OOC)(4)] robust secondary building units (SBUs) was synthesized using linear rigid aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, trans,trans-muconic acid (H(2)muco), and 3,5-dichloropyridine (3,5-DCP) as an auxiliary ligand. The 3,5-DCP ligands are interdigitated through antiparallel pi … pi stacking interactions, forming a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular architecture. The MOF exhibits semiconducting properties and can function as a Schottky diode, as confirmed by conductivity measurements and impedance spectroscopy.

Summary: The use of cucurbit[n]urils to control photochemical reactions in supramolecular chemistry is a new strategy. In an aqueous solution, styrylpyridine derivatives can form supramolecular complexes with cucurbit[7]uril and cucurbit[8]uril. Cucurbit[7]uril inhibits the photo-induced [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, while cucurbit[8]uril significantly increases the rate of this reaction.

Summary: In contrast to the extensive research on Al-oxo molecular cluster chemistry, the structural diversity and complexity of Al-based building units for metal-organic framework (MOF) construction are limited. This study introduced a strategy to synthesize FDM-91, a MOF with gigantic Al-24-based units, by utilizing two different linkages with distinct strength. The conversion of FDM-91 to two stable MOFs with exceptional water harvesting capacity and outstanding cycling performance was achieved by replacing weak moieties with organic linkers. The versatile chemistry demonstrated here provides a new approach for constructing important extended and discrete structures of MOFs.

Summary: Generating site-specific vacancies in a multinary MOF (FDM-6) by selectively hydrolyzing weak Zn ̶carboxylate linkages and keeping strong Cu ̶pyrazolate linkages untouched allows for systematic tuning of surface area and pore size range. The vacancies create highly connected mesopores, facilitating transportation of guest molecules towards active sites. Compared to the pristine MOF, FDM-6 with site-selective vacancies exhibits enhanced catalytic activity in bulky aromatic alcohol oxidation, demonstrating the potential of vacancy engineering in MOFs.

Summary: Lanthanides like ytterbium have high and various coordination numbers, which generate versatile secondary building units (SBUs) for metal-organic framework (MOF) synthesis. The connectivity modes between the inorganic units and the linkers are crucial for understanding the low symmetry and uncertainty in the structures. This study explores the hydrolysis of Yb(III) facilitated by a ditopic linker, leading to the generation of SBUs with [Yb4(mu(3)-OH)(4)] cores and three different MOFs. Analysis of the coordination linkages reveals different modes of linkers, resulting in structures with completely different nets. Linker vacancies are found and quantified in the crystal structures, and a divided net strategy is used to analyze the nets of two 8-connected MOFs.
