Environmental monitoring of pollutants is essential to guarantee the human health and maintain the ecosystem. The exploration of both simple and sensitive detection method has aroused widespread attentions. Herein, 2D bimetallic metal organic framework nanosheets (NiZn-MOF NSs) with tunable Ni/Zn ratios were synthesized, and for the first time employed to construct a tyrosinase biosensor. It is revealed that Zn element not only tuned the porosity structure and electronic structure of MOF NSs, but also modified their electrochemical activity. As a result, enzyme immobilization and electrochemical sensing performance of the NiZn-MOF NSs based biosensor were significantly enhanced by a suitable Zn addition. The fabricated tyrosinase biosensor exhibited excellent analytical detections, with a wide linear range from 0.08 μM to 58.2 μM, a high sensitivity of 159.3 mA M, and an ultralow detection limit of 6.5 nM. In addition, the proposed biosensing approach also demonstrated good repeatability, superior selectivity, long-term stability, and high recovery for phenol detection in the real tap water samples.

Aims: We develop and evaluate copper-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) incorporating cromolyn as a linker to enhance structural stability, drug delivery efficiency, and therapeutic potential, particularly for breast cancer treatment.
Materials & Methods: Two Cu-MOF formulations were synthesized: Cu-MOFs-BDC-DOX (using terephthalic acid) and Cu-MOFs-CROMO-DOX (using cromolyn as a linker). Characterization was performed using SEM/TEM for morphology, and FTIR, XRD, and TGA to confirm structural integrity.

Chiral organic-inorganic metal halide (OIMH) materials are gaining increasing attention as candidates for asymmetric materials due to their unique photoelectric, chiral optic, and spintronic properties. The introduction of chirality into OIMHs is usually achieved by the use of chiral organic cations, while previous studies often focus on primary ammonium cations derived from commercially available chiral amines, limiting the tunability of the OIMH materials. Herein, we report the use of Zincke reactions to synthesize chiral N-substituted pyridinium salts, namely, (R)/(S)-methylbenzylpyridinium (/-MBnP) chloride and the corresponding 1D chiral OIMHs, (/-MBnP)PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I).

Although metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been extensively used as fluorescent-based antibiotic sensors, newly developed hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are largely unexplored toward this direction. To realize this, the luminescent HOFs must be stable in water as the analytes are mostly found in water-based effluents in environments. In addition, HOFs should be equipped with specific recognition sites in order to direct the discrimination among the antibiotics.

Synthetic organic dye such as methylene blue (MB) is non-biodegradable and highly toxic, released from textile wastewater. This work investigates the applicability of Ni@ZnO polymer nanocomposite for MB removal from the wastewater. To understand their differences before and after MB adsorption, composites' surface morphology was characterized by various techniques including scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR) and UV-Vis spectrophotometer.
