Summary: The core of reticular chemistry has brought precision and expertise of organic and inorganic synthesis to the solid state. The most profound scientific innovation of this field has been the design strategies for the synthesis of extended crystalline solids through strong directional bonds, highlighting the different classes of reticular materials developed and how complexity can be introduced into their backbones. Structural control over these materials is being extended from the molecular scale to their crystal morphology and shape on the nanoscale, all the way to their shaping on the bulk scale.

Summary: Although isomerism is rare in covalent organic framework (COF) materials, this study achieved controllable synthesis of topological isomers in three-dimensional COFs for the first time. Different solvents were used to obtain two isomers, JUC-620 and JUC-621, with distinct porous features. JUC-621 with a qtz net showed larger mesopores and higher surface area compared to JUC-620 with a dia net, and it exhibited efficient dye removal and excellent iodine adsorption.

Summary: The design of coordination polymers with a specific architecture requires understanding the regularities of metal coordination, ligand coordination, and framework topology. This study demonstrated the impact of local coordination on the dimensional and topological properties of coordination polymers containing copper(ii) malonates. Eight novel complexes were synthesized and characterized, and the most abundant networks were evaluated and compared to zinc(ii)-containing analogs. The results showed that the square lattice topology was highly abundant for copper(ii) malonates with N,N'-containing linkers.

Summary: The emergence of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has provided a new platform for low-cost and color-saturated blue light-emitting diodes, which are ideal for display and solid-state lighting applications. However, many established MOFs still exhibit weak deep-blue-light emission due to low energy/charge transfer efficiency. This research reports a pressure-treated strategy to greatly enhance the photoluminescence performance of deep-blue light-emitting Y(BTC)(H2O)(6) and provides insights into the structure-property relationship in MOFs, offering a promising strategy for developing deep-blue-emitting MOFs materials.

Summary: Developing adsorptive separation processes using C2H6-selective sorbents is a promising alternative for energy-intensive cryogenic distillation in C2H4 purification. Our study showed that Ni-MOF 2 exhibited significantly higher performance in C2H6/C2H4 separation compared to Ni-MOF-1. The unique aromatic pore surfaces and suitable pore spaces of Ni-MOF 2 contribute to its high C2H6 uptake capacity, making it one of the best porous materials for this gas separation. It can generate 12 L kg(-1) of polymer-grade C2H4 product from equimolar C2H6/C2H4 mixtures at ambient conditions.

Summary: In this paper, an energy-preserving collocation integrator is derived for solving hyperbolic Hamiltonian systems. Two specific high-order energy-preserving and symmetric integrators are presented by choosing collocation nodes as two and three Gauss-Legendre points, respectively. The convergence and symmetry of the constructed energy-preserving integrators are rigorously analyzed. Numerical results confirm the energy conservation property and accuracy of the proposed integrators.

Summary: In this study, we demonstrate the first use of a microporous HOF material HOF-BTB with high specific surface area for ratiometric fluorescent detection of the tumor biomarker 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. HOF-BTB exhibits rapid, highly accurate, and sensitive detection of 3-MT, with a detection limit as low as 46 nM. To the best of our knowledge, this HOF material achieves the best detection limit value among luminescent sensors and is comparable to high-performance liquid chromatography or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
