Chromium(III)-based metal-organic frameworks (Cr-MOFs) are very attractive in a wide range of investigations because of their robustness and high porosity. However, reports on Cr-MOFs are scarce owing to the difficulties in their direct synthesis. Recently developed postsynthetic routes to obtain Cr-MOFs suffered from complicated procedures and a lack of general applicability. Herein, we report a highly efficient and versatile strategy, namely solvent-assisted metal metathesis, to obtain Cr-MOFs from a variety of Fe -MOFs, including several well-known MOFs and a newly synthesized one, through judicious selection of a coordinating solvent. The versatility of this strategy was demonstrated by producing Cr-MIL-100, Cr-MIL-142A/C, Cr-PCN-333, and Cr-PCN-600 from their Fe analogues and Cr-SXU-1 from a newly synthesized MOF precursor, Fe-SXU-1, in acetone as the solvent under very mild conditions. We have thus developed a general approach for the preparation of robust Cr-MOFs, which are difficult to synthesize by direct methods.

The pressing demand for critical metals necessitates the development of advanced ion separation technologies for circular resource economies. To separate transition metal ions, which exhibit near-identical chemical properties, adsorbents and membranes must be designed with ultraselective chemistries. We leverage the customizability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to systematically study the role of material chemistry in sorption and selectivity of Co, Ni, and Cu.

Indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) are promising alternative heavy-metal CdSe QDs for light-emitting diode (LED) application. However, their highly reactive core surface is prone to oxidation, which reduces the photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY) and impedes subsequent shell growth. Traditional etching methods using HF aqueous solution are problematic as water can induce reoxidation during or after etching.

It remains challenging to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms behind the dynamic chirality inversion of supramolecular assemblies with pathway complexity. Herein, metal coordination driven assembly systems based on pyridyl-conjugated cholesterol (PVPCC) and metal ions (Ag or Al) are established to demonstrate pathway-directed, recyclable chirality inversion and assembly polymorphism. In the Ag(I)/PVPCC system, a competitive pathway leads Ag-Complex to form either kinetically controlled supramolecular polymer (Ag-SP I) or thermodynamically favored Ag-SP II, accompanied by reversible chiroptical inversion.

To investigate the ocean contamination caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), UiO-67/perfluorooctanoic acid (UiO-67/PFOA) was synthesized through solvent-assisted ligand incorporation method. The UiO-67/PFOA was then served as an adsorbent in headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) technology for collecting and concentrating trace PAHs. The addition of the PFOA improved the hydrophobicity and stability of the UiO-67/PFOA coating, and the C-F functional group in UiO-67/PFOA could form the pseudo hydrogen bonding with the CH on the benzene ring of PAHs, which endowed the UiO-67/PFOA with 1.

This study presents a series of six vivid green Tb(III) complexes, denoted by the general formula [Tb(L).secondary sensitizers], where L represents 1-cyclopropyl-7-(4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)-6-fluoro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid and secondary sensitizers consist of heterocyclic N-donor aromatic systems. The synthesis of these complexes were achieved through a solvent-assisted grinding method, and their characterization involved various techniques such as CHN analysis, FTIR, NMR, UV, XRD, and NIR spectroscopy.
