Summary: The release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases poses a global threat and the efficient capture and separation of these gases is of great significance. Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, with their unique structure and high surface areas, have been extensively studied for their applicability in this field. This review provides a comprehensive account of the progress in using MOFs as adsorbents for capture and separation of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorocompounds. The strategies, performance, mechanisms, challenges, and perspectives associated with the development of MOF materials are discussed.

Summary: Rapid phase elucidation is crucial in the development of new materials. However, routine X-ray diffraction analysis is often limited by the small size and quantity of crystalline phases. In this study, we demonstrate the use of SerialRED for high-throughput phase identification of complex polycrystalline zeolite products. By automating the analysis of hundreds of crystals, SerialRED enables the identification of zeolite phases that are undetectable using X-ray diffraction, providing new opportunities for rapid development of polycrystalline materials.

Summary: The formation of porous and non-porous polymorphs in different solvents is shown to depend on a solvophobic effect driven by dispersion interactions, with weak dispersion interaction facilitating porous packing. Dense packing is a universal tendency of organic molecules in the solid state, but a solvophobic approach allows for the successful synthesis of porous polymorphs.

Summary: This paper presents the synthesis, crystal structure, and characterization of several new noncentrosymmetric rare-earth borates of the gaudefroyite family Sr2MBi(REEO)3(BO3)4 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba; REE = Y, Eu). Sr2MBi (YO)3(BO3)4 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) borates were synthesized through multi-step solid state reactions. The crystal structures of Sr3Bi(YO)3(BO3)4, Sr2CaBi(YO)3(BO3)4, and Sr2BaBi(YO)3(BO3)4 were refined and their thermal expansion coefficients were calculated. Second-harmonic generation measurements showed an increase in the nonlinear optical activity of the materials when Sr was partially substituted with Ca and Ba, and a decrease when Y atoms were replaced by Eu.
