Three new solvent-directed three-dimensional (3D) lead(II) coordination polymers, [Pb2(L)2]n (1), [Pb3(L)3]n (2) and [Pb(L)]·H2O (3) [H3L = 2-(pyridine-2-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid], have been synthesized solvothermally. As influenced by different solvent systems, compounds 1 and 3 exhibit varying architectures from a multi-nodal 3,3,4,4-connected to a uninodal 3-connected net, while 2 with helices represents a binodal 3,4-connected topological net. Moreover, 3 possesses a micropore which is decorated with pyridyl systems and uncoordinated carboxylate oxygen atoms. In addition, the small-sized and highly polar pores enable 3 to attract CO2 strongly, leading to a high sorption heat for CO2 and significant selectivity for CO2 over H2 and N2 at 293 K. The luminescent behaviors and emissive lifetimes of 1-3 are also discussed.

In this report, a microporous metal-organic framework of [Ca(TDC)(DMA)] (1) and a two-dimensional coordination polymer of [Ca(TDC)(DMF) ] (2), (TDC =Thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate, DMA=N, N'-dimethylacetamide and DMF=N, N'-dimethylformamide) based on Ca(II) were designed by the effect of solvent, and X-ray analysis was performed for the single crystals of 1 and 2. Then, compound 1 was synthesized in three different methods and identified with a set of analyses. Compared to other adsorbents, MOFs are widely used in the field of adsorption and separation of various gases due to a series of distinctive features such as diverse and adjustable structures pores with different dimensions, high porosity and surface area with regular distribution of active sites.

Hierarchical molecular assembly is a fundamental strategy for manufacturing protein structures in nature. However, to translate this natural strategy into advanced digital manufacturing like three-dimensional (3D) printing remains a technical challenge. This work presents a 3D printing technique with silk fibroin to address this challenge, by rationally designing an aqueous salt bath capable of directing the hierarchical assembly of the protein molecules.

Thermodynamic studies of actinide-containing metal-organic frameworks (An-MOFs), reported herein for the first time, are a step toward addressing challenges related to effective nuclear waste administration. In addition to An-MOF thermochemistry, enthalpies of formation were determined for the organic linkers, 2,2'-dimethylbiphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (HMeBPDC) and biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (HBPDC), which are commonly used building blocks for MOF preparation. The electronic structure of the first example of An-MOF with mixed-metal AnAn'-nodes was influenced through coordination of transition metals as shown by the density of states near the Fermi edge, changes in the Tauc plot, conductivity measurements, and theoretical calculations.

Three new solvent-induced metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-[Cd(H2L)(H2O)3]·NMP (), [Cd3(L)(H2O)4(OH)2] () and [Cd(L)0.5(H2O)]·H2O ()-were designed and successfully prepared via solvothermal reaction by multidentate phenyltetracarboxylic acid [1,1':4',1''-terphenyl]-2',3,3'',5'-tetracarboxylic acid (H4L) and Cd(ii) salts in various solvent systems. Structural analyses indicated that the H2L/L ligands took three different coordination fashions in , and thus resulted in diversity of the targeted MOFs.
