Self-assembled organic-inorganic hybrid nano-materials have recently received much attention due to their novel and original functions, including new electronic, optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties. Especially, reactions in organic-metallic hybrid materials are closely related to biological reactions, such as the reactions in metal-containing protein, and the controlled metal ions assembly into organic polymers becomes very important. In the first part of this review, recent progresses in two types of organic-inorganic hybrid nano-materials (Organic compounds [character: see text] inorganic mesoporous materials and Metal ions [character: see text] organic polymer) are summarized. In the latter parts, dendrimer-metal complexes, examples of nature-mimetic materials, are introduced, and their controlled metal assembly in dendrimer and their application are reviewed.

Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites (HOIPs) have garnered a significant amount of attention due to their exceptional photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, they still face considerable challenges in large-scale applications, primarily due to their instability. One key factor influencing this instability is the lattice softness attributed to the A-site cations.

These materials, encompassing a broad spectrum of organic, inorganic, and hybrid systems including quantum dots, organic dyes, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), offer tunable emission characteristics that can be engineered at the molecular or nanoscale level to respond to specific stimuli, such as temperature, pH, and chemical presence. Recent advancements have been driven by the integration of nanotechnology, which enhances the sensitivity and selectivity of luminescent materials in sensor platforms.

Multi-signal-based self-calibrating biosensors have become a research focus due to their superior accuracy and sensitivity in recent years. Herein, the potential-resolved differential ECL immunoassay based on dual co-reactants regulation was developed. Meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) functionalized zirconium dioxide (ZrO) composites (TCPP-ZrO) was first synthesized using TCPP as the luminophore and ZrO as the enhancer and stabilizer.

The structural and electronic changes are investigated in a 3D hybrid perovskite, methylhydrazinium lead chloride (MHyPbCl) from a host/guest perspective as it transitions from a highly polar to less polar phase upon cooling, using first-principles calculations. The two phases vary structurally in the guest (MHy) orientation and the two differently distorted host (lead halide) layers. These findings highlight the critical role of guest reorientation in reducing host distortion at high temperatures, making the former the primary order parameter for the transition, a notable contrast to the case of other hybrid perovskites.

Organic-inorganic hybrid ferroelectric compounds of the halobismuthate family have emerged as a focal point of research owing to their reduced toxicity and distinctive optical characteristics. This study presents a novel ammonium hybrid perovskite, [BPMBDMA]·[Bi2Br9], which exhibits both ferro- and piezoelectric properties and crystallizes in the polar noncentrosymmetric 2 space group. The nonlinear optical (NLO) activity of [BPMBDMA]·[Bi2Br9] was corroborated through second harmonic generation measurements evidencing its noncentrosymmetric structure, which was further substantiated by piezoresponse force microscopy analyses.
