Summary: Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) can be utilized in various research fields by combining the luminescent characteristics of lanthanides and the advantages of porous materials. A water-stable and high-temperature resistant Eu-MOF with high photoluminescence quantum yield was synthesized, showing excellent selectivity and quenching sensing for Fe3+ and ofloxacin. It also demonstrated color modulation with Tb3+ and La3+ for developing white LED components, and rare reverse adsorption selectivity in a CO2/C2H2 gas mixture. The protonated carboxyl groups in the Eu-MOF provided an efficient conducting platform for proton transfer.

Summary: A new C2H2 adsorption trap (UPC-80) constructed by 4-fold interpenetration nets is reported, which shows high adsorption selectivities of 6.34 and 4.78 for C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/C2H4, respectively. Laboratory-scale fixed-bed breakthrough experiments confirm the efficient separation ability of UPC-80 towards the C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/C2H4 gas mixtures, with negligible capacity loss. Theoretical simulations attribute the good separation performance to the anchoring of C2H2 by two Tb2(COO)6 clusters in adjacent interpenetration nets and the strong electrostatic interaction.

Summary: The nuclearity of Bi nodes in coordination networks depends on solvent polarity, leading to a family of Bix-sulfonate/carboxylate coordination networks with various nuclearities. The role of the solvent is more significant than the linker in defining node topologies. Photocatalytic hydrogen generation can be achieved without a co-catalyst using certain materials from this family. The DDBS linker effectively absorbs visible light and facilitates ligand-to-Bi-node charge transfer.

Summary: In this study, a copper-based coordination polymer with a three-dimensional quasi-diamond interpenetrated structure was successfully constructed by crystal engineering. The introduction of the d-d transition of the Cu2+ ion enabled the polymer to exhibit a broad absorption band in the near-infrared section, resulting in remarkable photothermal conversion performance under 808 nm light. The polymer demonstrated no performance decay after several photothermal cycling experiments, making it a promising material for laser-responsive applications due to its dense structure and energetic nitro groups.

The reaction involved 2-aminothiophenols, aldehydes, and malononitrile, using TBABF4 as an electrolyte and CuI as a catalyst. The proposed reaction mechanism suggested that CuI served as an electron relay. This method offers simplified operation, high atom economy, and mild reaction conditions.

Summary: Sulfide compounds show promise as electrocatalysts for water splitting, but their performance is limited by factors such as limited active sites and hindered substance transport. This study successfully prepared a high-entropy sulfide (ZnCoMnFeAlMg)(9)S-8, which reduced grain size and increased specific surface area, enabling the realization of a dual-functional catalyst with multiple catalytic sites. High entropy also modulated the electronic properties of sulfides, reducing the potential energy barrier for hydrolysis. This research introduces a new approach for functionalizing high entropy nanomaterials and improves the performance of water splitting catalysts.
