Article Synopsis
- The study focused on fine-tuning SiF-containing metal-organic frameworks (SIFSIX) by substituting metal centers and ligands, which significantly altered the apertures from 8.3 Å to 3.8 Å, enhancing separation efficiency for alkane isomers.
- SIFSIX-1-Zn, SIFSIX-1-Cu, and SIFSIX-3-Zn were identified as effective stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography, with SIFSIX-3-Zn showing the best performance in separating alkane isomers and benzene homologues.
- The improved separation was attributed to the optimal size matching between the ultramicroporous structure of SIFSIX-3-Zn and the target analytes,
The stacking between nanosheets is an intriguing and inevitable phenomenon in the chemistry of nano-interfaces. Two-dimensional metal-organic framework nanosheets are an emerging type of nanosheets with ultrathin and porous features, which have high potential in separation applications. Here, the stacking between single-layer metal-organic framework nanosheets is revealed to show three representative conformations with tilted angles of 8°, 14°, and 30° for Zr-1, 3, 5-(4-carboxylphenyl)-benzene framework as an example.

In this review, we describe recent progress in the application of MOFs to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). Owing to their high porosities, specific affinities, and photon absorption capacities, MOFs can be used as solid adsorbents to selectively capture peptides (including endogenous peptides, phosphopeptides, and glycopeptides) and as matrices in MALDI MS.
