Carboxylic acid-functionalized Pd and Pt PNP pincer complexes were used for the assembly of two porous Zr metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), 2-PdX and 2-PtX. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the new MOFs adopt cubic framework structures similar to the previously reported ZrO(OH)[(PCP)PdX], [PCP = 2,6-(OPAr)CH); Ar = p-CHCO, X = Cl, I] (1-PdX). Elemental analysis and spectroscopic characterization indicate the presence of missing linker defects, and 2-PdX and 2-PtX were formulated as ZrO(OH)(OAc)[M(PNP)X] [M = Pd, Pt; PNP = 2,6-(HNPAr)CHN; Ar = p-CHCO; X = Cl, I]. Postsynthetic halide ligand exchange reactions were carried out by treating 2-PdX with Ag(OSCF) or NaI followed by PhI(OCCF). The latter strategy proved to be more effective at activating the MOF for the catalytic intramolecular hydroamination of an o-substituted alkynyl aniline, underscoring the advantage of using halide exchange reagents that produce soluble byproducts.

Functional nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking activities, termed as nanozymes, have found wide applications in various fields. However, the deviation between the working and optimal pHs of nanozymes has been limiting their practical applications. Here we develop a strategy to modulate the microenvironmental pHs of metal-organic framework (MOF) nanozymes by confining polyacids or polybases (serving as Brønsted acids or bases).

The rising demand for gold requires innovative methods for its recovery from e-waste. Here we present the synthesis of two tetrazine-based vinyl-linked covalent organic frameworks: TTF-COF and TPE-COF that adsorb gold ions and nanoparticles and catalyze the carboxylation of terminal alkynes. These covalent organic frameworks have low band gaps and high photocurrent responses.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials that are of topical interest for their utility in water-related applications. Nevertheless, molecular-level insight into water-MOF interactions and MOF hydrolytic reactivity remains understudied. Herein, we report two hydrolytic pathways leading to either structural stability or framework decomposition of a MOF (ZnMOF-1).

The development of novel methods to enhance enzyme-carrier interactions in situ, at a feasible cost, and on a large scale is crucial for improving the stability and durability of current immobilized enzyme systems used in industrial settings. Here, a pioneering approach termed "silica-based inorganic glue" is proposed, which utilizes protein-catalyzed silicification to fix enzyme within porous matrix while preserving enzyme activity. This innovative strategy offers several key benefits, including conformational stabilization of enzymes, improved interactions between enzymes and the matrix, prevention of enzyme leakage, and mitigation of pore blocking.

The demand for temperature-robust electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials is escalating due to the varying operational temperatures of electronic devices, which can easily soar up to 100 °C, significantly affecting EMW interference management. Traditional absorbers face performance degradation across broad temperature ranges due to alterations in electronic mobility and material impedance. This study presented a novel approach by integrating semiconductor metal-organic frameworks (SC-MOFs) with paraffin wax (PW), leveraging the precise control of interlayer spacing in SC-MOFs for electron mobility regulation and the introduction of paraffin wax for temperature-inert electromagnetic properties.
