The development of a new Neodymium/Dysprosium metal-organic framework, referred to as Nd/Dy-BTC MOF, based on benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid, has been achieved through an in situ growth process on 2D transition metal carbides (MXene) surfaces. This synthesis was conducted via a solvothermal method utilizing a solvent mixture of water, ethanol, and dimethylformamide. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the framework's efficacy as a photocatalyst for the degradation of anionic dye, as well as its potential for sensing certain explosives.

The double decarboxylative coupling reaction between two (similar or different) molecules of carboxylic acids is an emerging area that has gained considerable attention as a new avenue for forging carbon-carbon bonds. Since this synthetic strategy only utilizes carboxylic acids as easily accessible, non-toxic and stable starting materials, and extrudes carbon dioxide (CO) as the only waste by-product, it can be considered as an environmentally benign alternative to traditional coupling reactions which mainly rely on the use of toxic organic halides or organometallic reagents. The aim of this review is to highlight the recent advances and developments in this exciting new field that may serve as inspiration for future research to mature it.
