A new stepwise ligand-elongation strategy by amide spacers is utilized to prepare isoreticularly high-porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, quasi-mesoporous [Cu2 (PDBAD)(H2 O)]n (H4 PDBAD=5,5'-((4,4'-((pyridine-3,5-dicarbonyl)bis(azanediyl))bis(benzoyl))bis(azanediyl))diisophthalic acid; NJU-Bai22: NJU-Bai for Nanjing University Bai's group), and mesoporous [Cu2 (PABAD)(H2 O)]n (H4 PABAD=5,5'-((4,4'-((4,4'-((pyridine-3,5-dicarbonyl)bis(azanediyl))bis(benzoyl))bis (azanediyl))bis(benzoyl))bis(azanediyl))diisophthalic acid; NJU-Bai23). Compared with the prototypical MOF of [Cu2 (PDAD)(H2 O)]n (H4 PDAD=5,5'-(pyridine-3,5-dicarbonyl)bis(azanediyl)diisophthalic acid; NJU-Bai21, also termed as PCN-124), both MOFs exhibit almost the same CO2 adsorption enthalpy and CO2 selectivity values, and better capacity for CO2 storage under high pressure; these results make them promising candidate materials for CO2 capture and sequestration. Interestingly, this new method, in comparison with traditional strategies of using phenyl or triple-bond spacers, is easier and cheaper, resulting in a better ability to retain high CO2 affinity and selectivity in MOFs with large pores and high CO2 storage capacity. Additionally, it may lead to the high thermal stability of the MOFs and also their tolerance to water, which is related to the balance between the density of functional groups and pore sizes. Therefore, this strategy could provide new opportunities to explore more functionalized mesoporous MOFs with high performance.

Exosomes, which are considered nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs), are secreted by various cell types and widely distributed in different biological fluids. They consist of multifarious bioactive molecules and use systematic circulation for their transfer to adjoining cells. This phenomenon enables exosomes to take part in intercellular and intracellular communications.

The integration of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with functional materials has established a versatile platform for a wide range of energy storage applications. Due to their large specific surface area, high porosity, and tunable structural properties, MOFs hold significant promise as components in energy storage systems, including electrodes, electrolytes, and separators for alkali metal-ion batteries (AIBs). Although lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used, their commercial graphite anode materials are nearing their theoretical capacity limits, and the scarcity of lithium and cobalt resources increases costs.

Flexible two-dimensional nickel-cobalt metal-organic frameworks/graphene oxide/carbon nanotubes (2D NiCo-MOF/GO/CNTs) hybrid films have been designed and prepared as high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials vacuum filtration. The 2D NiCo-MOF nanosheets serve as the main source of capacitance for the hybrid films, while CNTs function as both the conductive network, enhancing the electrical conductivity of the MOFs, and the binder, linking the 2D NiCo-MOF nanosheets and GO. When the mass ratio of 2D NiCo-MOF, GO, and CNTs is 2 : 1 : 0.

Xylene isomers, including -xylene (X), -xylene (X), -xylene (X), and ethyl benzene (EB), are important raw materials in industry. The separation of xylene isomers has been recognized as one of the "seven chemical separations to change the world". However, because of their similar physicochemical properties, totally separating four xylene isomers has remained a big challenge until now.

2D and 3D porous coordination networks (PCNs) as exemplified by metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, have garnered interest for their potential utility as sorbents for molecular separations and storage. The inherent modularity of PCNs has enabled the development of crystal engineering strategies for systematic fine-tuning of pore size and chemistry in families of related PCNs. The same cannot be said about one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, CPs, which are understudied with respect to porosity.
