Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a universally used solvent in various synthetic reactions, and trace amounts of DMSO residual are often seen on the surface of chemical product. It is difficult to quickly determine whether the residual DMSO is washed completely. This work reports a Cd metal-organic framework (MOF) SXU-4 which can detect trace amounts of DMSO in various solvents. Fluorescence experiments reveal its turn-on fluorescence effect toward DMSO with high selectivity and sensitivity, indicating that it can be used as an effective luminescent probe for rapid chemical product purity detection by testing the washing solution. Crystallographically characterized DMSO loaded SXU-4 (DMSO@SXU-4), in combination with computational results uncover that the enhanced DMSO-MOF conjugation through multiple DMSO-MOF supramolecule interactions and charge rearrangement are the main causes of fluorescence intensification.

The efficient separation of C₂H₂/CO₂ mixture is crucial for industrial applications. A promising strategy is proposed herein to fine-tune the C₂H₂/CO adsorption and separation by pillar-layered metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents via molecular rotation. Keeping the same ultramicroporous architecture, three Zn-X-TRZ (TRZ = 1,2,4-triazole) adsorbents are prepared with X-pillar rotors varying from 9,10-anthracenedicarboxylic acid (ADC), 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDC) to 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (BDC).

The rational design of metal-nitrogen-doped carbons (M-N-C) from available and cost-effective sources featuring high electrocatalytic performance and stability is attractive for the development of viable low-temperature fuel cells. Herein, mimosa tannin, an abundant polyphenol easily extracted from the Mimosa plant, is used as a natural carbon source to produce a tannin-Fe(III) coordination complex. This process is assisted by Pluronic F127, which acts as both a surfactant and a promoter of Fe-N active sites.

The separation and purification of acetylene from the light hydrocarbon gas mixtures is considered as one of the most industrially challenging task for the production of fine chemicals. Though metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates for such separation and offer a cost and energy-efficient pathway, achieving the trade-off between sorption capacity and separation selectivity along with framework robustness is a daunting task and demands effective design. Herein, a new 3D chemically stable MOF, IITKGP-24 (stable over a wide range of aqueous pH solution, pH = 2-12) is developed, displaying excellent separation selectivity of 13.

Efficient computational screenings are integral to materials discovery in highly sought-after gas adsorption and storage applications, such as CO capture. Preprocessing techniques have been developed to render experimental crystal structures suitable for molecular simulations by mimicking experimental activation protocols, particularly residual solvent removal. Current accounts examining these preprocessed materials databases indicate the presence of assorted structural errors introduced by solvent removal and preprocessing, including improper elimination of charge-balancing ions and ligands.
