Herein we report the design of a bacteriochlorin-based nanoscale metal-organic framework, Zr-TBB, for highly effective photodynamic therapy via both type I and type II mechanisms. The framework of Zr-TBB stabilizes 5,10,15,20-tetra(-benzoato)bacteriochlorin (TBB) ligands toward oxygen and light via geometrical constraint. Upon 740 nm light irradiation, Zr-TBB efficiently generates various reactive oxygen species, including singlet oxygen, superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals, to afford superb antitumor efficacy on mouse models of breast and colon cancers, with cure rates of 40% and 60%, respectively.

Unlike homogeneous metal complexes, achieving absolute control over reaction selectivity in heterogeneous catalysts remains a formidable challenge due to the unguided molecular adsorption/desorption on metal-surface sites. Conventional organic surface modifiers or ligands and rigid inorganic and metal-organic porous shells are not fully effective. Here, we introduce the concept of "ligand-porous shell cooperativity" to desirably reaction selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis.

The sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) result in a high overpotential in alkaline solutions. A high-curvature metal oxide heterostructure can effectively boost the electrocatalytic HER by leveraging the tip-enhanced local electric field effect. Herein, NiP/NiMoO nanocones were synthesised on a nickel foam (NF) substrate by etching a metal-organic framework template.

This review examines the recent advancements and unique properties of polymer-inorganic hybrid materials formed through coordination bonding (Class II hybrids), which enable enhanced functionality and stability across various applications. Here, we categorize these materials based on properties gained through complexation, focusing on electrical conductivity, thermal stability, photophysical characteristics, catalytic activity, and nanoscale self-assembly. Two major synthetic approaches to making these hybrids include homogeneous and heterogeneous methods, each with distinct tradeoffs: Homogeneous synthesis is straightforward but requires favorable mixing between inorganic and polymer species, which are predominantly water-soluble complexes.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) based substrates have great potential for quantitative analysis of hazardous substances using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) due to their significant signal enhancement, but face challenges like complex preparation, and lack of tunability. Here, we have successfully prepared a well-defined core-satellite superstructure (ZIF-8@Ag) through solvent-induced assembly of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on truncated rhombic dodecahedral ZIF-8. By wisely selecting toluene as the solvent, the assembly process can be easily initiated through ultrasonic treatment and it allows for precise morphological adjustments to build a range of superstructures with different assembly densities of Ag NPs feed ratio tuning.

As an alternative to bulk counterparts, metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles isolated within conductive mesoporous carbon matrices are of increasing interest for electrochemical applications. Although promising, a "clean" carbon surface is generally associated with poor compatibility and weak interactions with metal/ligand precursors, which leads to the growth of MOFs with inhomogeneous particle sizes on outer pore walls. Here, a general methodology for in situ synthesis of eight nanoMOF composites within mesochannels with high dispersity and stability are reported.
