Summary: A convenient strategy of doping metal ions into the framework nodes of MOFs is adopted to enhance ferroelectric performance. The doped Co-Gallate materials show obviously improved ferroelectric properties compared with the parent MOF, with enhanced remanent polarization. The increase in ferroelectric behavior is related to the difference in ionic radius between Co2+ ions and the metal ions.

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 proposes a strategy of integrating sub-nano catalysts into a metal-organic framework (MOF) to address the shuttle effect and sluggish redox kinetics in lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). The designed MOF host, MOF-TOC, with sub-nano Ti-O clusters (TOCs), acts as an efficient reaction chamber in the LSBs. The electrochemical tests and calculations demonstrate that MOF-TOC can effectively trap and confine lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and accelerate the bidirectional redox reactions of sulfur species through the interaction with TOCs. The use of MOF-TOC significantly improves the areal capacity and cycling stability of LSBs at high sulfur loadings and lean electrolytes. This work provides insights into the rational design of catalyst-containing MOF hosts and advances the development of high-performance LSBs.

Summary: Organically modified materials are widely used adsorbents for Hg(II) removal due to their abundance of organic and inorganic substrates with desirable properties and ease of surface chemical modifications. Future research in the design and development of advanced adsorbents can be guided by a deeper understanding of the chemical reactions and their relation to the Hg(II) adsorption mechanism.

Summary: To address the challenges of tumor recurrence and infected wound tissue defect after surgical treatment of primary chest wall cancer, this study applied blending electrospinning to incorporate GOx/BMOFs into PU fibers, which achieved effective cancer therapy and improved wound healing. The synergistic chemodynamic therapy and starvation therapy effectively killed tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. The electrospun fiber platform supported the adhesion and proliferation of wound tissue cells and had antibacterial ability, accelerating infected wound repair in vivo.

Summary: This study reports a new nanostructure CS@Pd, which involves implanting ultra-small Pd nanoparticles onto metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with tailored electronic properties. The all-in-one catalyst CS@Pd3 exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction under visible light irradiation. The microscopic study confirms the well-ordered CS morphology and precise decoration of Pd nanoparticles over the CS networks, while computational density functional theory calculations validate the involvement of active Pd and Co sites in improved photocatalytic activity.

Summary: The development of peptide-metal frameworks as proteomimetic materials has been limited by the restricted choice of side chains and few variable residues compatible with metal ions. In this study, a noncovalent strategy using g-stacking bipyridyl residues was developed to assemble longer peptides into crystalline frameworks. These materials exhibited proteomimetic behaviors and could be optimized for increased affinity towards complex organic molecules.

Summary: Nanocomposites, combining metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), show promising potential in biomedical applications due to their improved performance in diagnosis and treatment. However, research on MOFs-UCNPs nanocomposites is still in the early stages due to lattice mismatching between the two materials.

Summary: Hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs) are modular materials composed of metal cations and combinations of inorganic and organic ligands, making them suitable for crystal engineering studies. They have practical significance due to their excellent gas separation performance in industrial gas mixtures. This study reports the design and synthesis of a sulfate-linked HUM and sets a benchmark for the difference in sorption heats between C2H2 and CO2 at low loadings.

Summary: A rigid H-shaped [2]rotaxane molecular shuttle was synthesized, which consists of an axle containing benzimidazole recognition sites and a central bipyridyl group interlocked with a 24-crown-8 wheel. The central bipy unit acts as a speed bump that raises the barrier to shuttling for the [2]rotaxane. Coordination of a PtCl2 moiety to the bipy unit creates a steric barrier to shuttling, while addition of Zn(II) ions allows shuttling to occur through a ligand exchange mechanism.

Summary: Two Zr(IV) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were studied, incorporating a new H-shaped tetracarboxylate linker with [2]rotaxane molecular shuttles. Solid-state NMR and solution NMR spectra confirmed the successful incorporation of the [2]rotaxanes, while the study found that the structure of the linker affects the shuttling rate of the macrocyclic ring.
