A hydrolytically stable metal-organic framework (MOF) material, named KAUST-7', was derived from a structural phase change of KAUST-7 upon exposure to conditions akin to protonic conduction (363 K/95% relative humidity). KAUST 7' exhibited a superprotonic conductivity as evidenced by the impedance spectroscopic measurement revealing an exceptional conductivity up to 2.0 × 10 S cm at 363 K and under 95% RH, a performance maintained over 7 days. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations suggested that the water-mediated proton transport mechanism is governed by water assisted reorganization of the H-bond network involving the fluorine moieties in KAUST-7' and the guest water molecules. The notable level of performances combined with a very good hydrolytic stability positions KAUST-7' as a prospective proton-exchange membrane alternative to the commercial benchmark Nafion. Furthermore, the remarkable RH sensitivity of KAUST-7' conductivity, substantially higher than previously reported MOFs, offers great opportunities for deployment as a humidity sensor.

For the first time a novel fluorescent La@ZrMOF nanomaterial was synthesized for the convenient and visual detection of ethephon (ETH) based on the ligand-metal charge transfer process. The fluorescence signal gradually enhanced as the concentration of ETH increased, accompanied by a change in the color from colorless to blue. The assay can be completed within 75 min with a detection limit of 0.

A new twofold interpenetrated 3D metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, poly[[μ-aqua-diaqua{μ-2,2'-[terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)]diacetato}barium(II)] dihydrate], {[Ba(CHNO)(HO)]·2HO}, (I), has been assembled through a combination of the reaction of 2,2'-[terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)]diacetic acid (TPBA, HL) with barium hydroxide and crystallization at low temperature. In the crystal structure of (I), the nine-coordinated Ba ions are bridged by two μ-aqua ligands and two carboxylate μ-O atoms to form a 1D loop-like Ba-O chain, which, together with the other two coordinated water molecules and μ-carboxylate groups, produces a rod-like secondary building unit (SBU). The resultant 1D polynuclear SBUs are further extended into a 3D MOF via the terephthalamide moiety of the ligand as a spacer.

Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) is a prevalent technique in materials characterization. While the analysis of PXRD often requires extensive human manual intervention, and most automated method only achieved at coarse-grained level. The more difficult and important task of fine-grained crystal structure prediction from PXRD remains unaddressed.

Periodontitis, a common chronic inflammatory condition caused by bacteria, leads to loss of attachment, resorption of alveolar bone, and ultimately tooth loss. Therefore, reducing bacterial load and fostering alveolar bone regeneration are essential components in the treatment of periodontitis. In this study, we prepared smaller-sized Ag-Metal Organic Frameworks (Ag@MOF) and loaded with sodium alginate (Alg) hydrogel for periodontitis treatment.
