Article Abstract
The contributions of terephthalic acid and Zn(2+)-coordinated water in N,N-diethylformamide (DEF) to the overall proton activity in the synthesis of MOF-5 (Zn4O(BDC)3, BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) were quantitatively determined by combined electrochemical and UV-vis spectroscopic measurements. Structural transformations of zinc carboxylate-based metal organic frameworks due to their exposure to environments with variable water concentrations and the chemical means necessary to revert these transitions have been investigated. It was found that the water-induced structural transition of MOF-5 to the hydroxide structure Zn3(OH)2(BDC)2 x 2 DEF (MOF-69c) can be reverted by a thermal treatment of the obtained compound and its subsequent exposure to anhydrous DEF. MOF-5 syntheses from simple carboxylates as well as a water-free synthesis based on nitrate decomposition are presented. The latter demonstrates that nitrate can serve as the sole source for the oxide ion in MOF-5.

Article Synopsis
- * Zn5 facilitates the conversion processes like transesterification and esterification, and can handle oil with up to 10% acidity without forming soaps.
- * Although Zn5 cannot be recycled due to its instability during reactions, the resulting composites (Zn5/ZnP) can still produce high FAME yields in repeated cycles, making it useful for biodiesel production under specific conditions.

This review considers the applications of Zn(II) carboxylate-based coordination polymers (Zn-CBCPs), such as sensors, catalysts, species with potential in infections and cancers treatment, as well as storage and drug-carrier materials. The nature of organic luminophores, especially both the rigid carboxylate and the ancillary N-donor bridging ligand, together with the alignment in Zn-CBCPs and their intermolecular interaction modulate the luminescence properties and allow the sensing of a variety of inorganic and organic pollutants. The ability of Zn(II) to act as a good Lewis acid allowed the involvement of Zn-CBCPs either in dye elimination from wastewater through photocatalysis or in pathogenic microorganism or tumor inhibition.

Acetate-based ionic liquids (AcILs), as a kind of typical carboxylate-based ILs, display excellent structure tunability, non-volatility, good solubility to biomass, and favorable adsorption capacity, etc. These unique characteristics of AcILs make them important candidates for a range of applications in the field of energy and in the petrochemical industry. This paper intends to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in AcILs, including pure AcILs, AcIL-based multi-solvents, and AcIL-based composites, etc.

Building a well-defined porous structure with permanent porosity in a metal-organic framework (MOF) is significant to achieve selective adsorption of guest molecules and its practicality. There have been various efforts to develop new functional frameworks, but chasing both advantages (functions and stability) is always challenging. Herein, we report a highly stable and porous 3D MOF having an imidazolium group.
