In porous materials, metal sites with coordinate solvents offer opportunities for many applications, especially those promoted by host-guest chemistry, but such sites are especially hard to create for Li-based materials, because unlike transition metals, lithium does not usually possess a high-enough coordination number for both framework construction and guest binding. This challenge is addressed by mimicking the functional group ratio and metal-to-ligand charge ratio in MOF-74. A family of rod-packing lithium-organic frameworks (CPM-47, CPM-48, and CPM-49) were obtained. These materials exhibit an extremely high density of guest-binding lithium sites. Also unusual is the homo-helical rod-packing in the CPM series, as compared to the hetero-helical rod packing by helices of opposite handedness in MOF-74. This work demonstrates new chemical and structural possibilities in developing a record-setting high density of guest-binding metal sites in inorganic-organic porous materials.

Efficient separation of acetylene (CH) from carbon dioxide (CO) and ethylene (CH) is a significant challenge in the petrochemical industry due to their similar physicochemical properties. Pore space partition (PSP) has shown promise in enhancing gas adsorption capacity and selectivity by reducing pore size and increasing the density of guest binding sites. Herein, we firstly employ the 2D→3D polycatenation strategy to construct a PSP metal-organic framework (MOF) Ni-dcpp-bpy, incorporating functional N/O sites to enhance CH purification.

Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy is a widely employed method for studying chiral analysis, requiring the presence of a chromophore close to a chiral centre. Porphyrinoids are found to be one of the best chromophoric systems serving for this purpose and enabling the application of ECD spectroscopy for chirality determination across diverse classes of organic compounds. Consequently, it is crucial to understand the induction mechanisms of ECD in the porphyrin-based complexes.

In the current study, one new quercetin-based Zn(II) complex [Zn(Qr)(CNNCN)(HO)] (Complex ) which is developed by condensation of quercetin with ZnCl in the presence of NaN(CN) and Cu(II) complex [Cu(Qr)N(CHOH)(HO)] (complex ) which is developed by the condensation reaction of quercetin and CuCl in presence of NaN are thoroughly examined in relation to their use in biomedicine. The results of several spectroscopic studied confirm the structure of both the complexes and the Density Functional Theory (DFT) study helps to optimize the structure of complex 1 and 2. After completion of the identification process, DNA and Human Serum Albumin (HSA) binding efficacy of both the investigated complexes are performed by implementing a long range of biophysical studies and a thorough analysis of the results unveils that complex has better interaction efficacy with the macromolecules than complex .

Quartz tuning forks (QTFs), which were coated with gold and with self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of a lower-rim functionalized calix[4]arene methoxy ester (CME), were used for the detection of benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene in water samples. The QTF device was tested by measuring the respective frequency shifts obtained using small (100 µL) samples of aqueous benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene at four different concentrations (10, 10, 10, and 10 M). The QTFs had lower limits of detection for all three aromatic hydrocarbons in the 10 M range, with the highest resonance frequency shifts (±5%) being shown for the corresponding 10 M solutions in the following order: benzene (199 Hz) > toluene (191 Hz) > ethylbenzene (149 Hz).
