Developing efficient, low-cost, MOF catalysts for CO conversion at low CO concentrations under mild conditions is particularly interesting but remains highly challenging. Herein, we prepared an isostructural series of two-dimensional (2D) multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) containing copper- and/or silver-based cyclic trinuclear complexes (Cu-CTC and Ag-CTC). These MTV-MOFs can be used as efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalysts for the cyclization of propargylamine with CO.

However, the challenge lies in the limited availability of sunlight during cloudy days and at night, which hinders the effectiveness of green advanced porous materials. This study developed all-weather-available advanced porous materials in the form of loofah-like structured porous frame composed of 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane/MXene/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/sodium alginate (SA)/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (NaCMC).

Yet, the design and synthesis of porous MOF liquids for drug delivery remain less explored. Herein, a simple and general strategy is reported to prepare ZIF-91 porous liquid (ZIF-91-PL) via surface modification and ion exchange.
