Summary: In this article, the synthesis of a MOF with multiple C.C bond geometrical features was achieved by adjusting the reactant ratio. Photochemical studies showed that the ligand 1,4-bis[2-(4-pyridyl) ethenyl]benzene undergoes photoisomerization under UV irradiation, resulting in a change of about 85 degrees in the angle between the C.C bonds. This allows the transformation of non-conforming C.C pairs into conforming pairs, enabling 2 + 2 photoaddition. Interestingly, the most favorable C.C pair for photoaddition is not necessarily the one that best conforms to Schmidt's rule, but the one that leads to the lowest total energy in the crystal.

Summary: A series of metal-organic coordination polymers displaying color-tunable long persistent luminescence (LPL) were successfully synthesized in this study, achieving multi-mode dynamic color tuning. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and theoretical calculations revealed that the modification of LPL was due to the balanced action from single molecule and aggregate triplet excited states caused by an external heavy-atom effect.

Summary: To understand the effect of non-covalent weak interactions on molecules, we investigated different types of weak interactions in fluorinated chiral zinc complexes, including improper H-bonding, tetrel bonds, and halogen bonds. High resolution neutron diffraction studies revealed elongation and shortening of the methylene carbon-hydrogen bond due to tetrel bonds and improper H-bond interactions, respectively. We demonstrated how multiple weak interactions can cumulatively affect the C-H bond and offset its elongation through formation of an improper H-bond. Non-covalent interaction and electrostatic potential analysis investigations confirmed the nature of these interactions using density functional theory (DFT) and related calculations.

Summary: This paper mainly discusses the applicability of using soft x-ray tomography technology to examine the multidimensional structure of metal-organic frameworks, such as their core-shell and hollow framework. By visually observing their corresponding images in different energy bands by different excitation energies for different elements, the researchers can effectively observe the distribution of metals in the structure and the type of hollow pores the metal-organic framework possesses. This pioneering evaluation of MOFs via SXT shows excellent performance in the structure identification of multidimensional metal-organic frameworks.

Summary: The objective of this research is to create monolithic heterogeneous catalysts (cordierite@MOFs) through the application of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials onto honeycomb cordierite for CO2 cycloaddition. By employing monolithic catalysts instead of powdered catalysts, the recycling and reusability of catalysts during post-reaction treatment can be significantly improved. The cordierite@ZIF-67 catalyst, known for its high activity, stability, and easy recyclability, offers significant advantages in terms of practicality and efficiency. It not only improves the overall efficiency of the catalytic process but also contributes to the sustainability and environmental friendliness of the production process by minimizing waste and resource consumption.
