A chiral porous metal-organic framework (MOF) decorated with radicals has been successfully constructed by cocrystallizing achiral (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO)-substituted tricarboxylate and enantiopure VO(salen)-derived dipyridine ligands. The chiral MOF can function as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the sequential alcohol oxidation/asymmetric cyanation of aldehyde reactions with enhanced activity and enantioselectivity compared to the homogeneous counterpart.

Polysaccharide-based metal-organic frameworks have attracted widespread attention due to their combination of the biocompatibility and flexibility of polysaccharides. Cyclodextrin are interesting bio-ligands in the construction of polysaccharide-based MOFs. Conventional methods for preparing cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) are often time-consuming and inefficient.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great promise as pH-responsive drug delivery systems, with considerable potential for targeted cancer therapy. In this study, we synthesized a novel curcumin-loaded MOF, named UWO-2 (CUR@UWO-2), and developed its biocomposite form, CS-κ-Cr/CUR@UWO-2, by coating it with chitosan (CS) and κ-carrageenan (κ-Cr). Structural analysis through powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) confirmed the successful synthesis of UWO-2 and the incorporation of CUR within the MOF structure.

Dyes can seriously harm human health because they linger or break down in the environment and find their way into drinking water through the water cycle. Examples of the most important interactions between MOFs and dyes are provided, and an effort is made to comprehend how surface charge and size compatibility affect the adsorption process. The methods for incorporating functionalized Ce-MOF into electrospun nanofibers made of polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan to create functionalized cerium metal organic framework nanofiber membranes (FCCP nanofiber membranes) are presented in this paper.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown significant potential in the photocatalytic activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS). Although many MOFs have been investigated for their ability to activate PDS, the impact of structural interpenetration on this process remains underexplored. In this study, MIL-88D(FeNi) and MIL-126(FeNi) were selected to systematically study this effect.
