The development of synthetic routes to access stable, ultra-small ( <5 nm) lead halide perovskite (LHP) quantum dots (QDs) is of fundamental and technological interest. The considerable challenges include the high solubility of the ionic LHPs in polar solvents and aggregation to form larger particles. Here, we demonstrate a simple and effective host-guest strategy for preparing ultra-small lead bromide perovskite QDs through the use of nano-sized MOFs that function as nucleating and host sites. CrO(OH)(HO)(terephthalate) (Cr-MIL-101), made of large mesopore-sized pseudo-spherical cages, allows fast and efficient diffusion of perovskite precursors within its pores, and promotes the formation of stable, ∼3 nm-wide lead bromide perovskite QDs. CsPbBr, MAPbBr (MA = methylammonium), and (FA)PbBr (FA = formamidinium) QDs exhibit significantly blue-shifted emission maxima at 440 nm, 446 nm, and 450 nm, respectively, as expected for strongly confined perovskite QDs. Optical characterization and composite modelling confirm that the APbBr (A = Cs, MA, FA) QDs owe their stability within the MIL-101 nanocrystals to both short- and long-range interfacial interactions with the MOF pore walls.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have dramatically changed the fundamentals of drug delivery, catalysis, and gas storage as a result of their porous geometry, controlled architecture, and ease of postsynthetic modification. However, the biomedical applications of MOFs still remain a less explored area due to the constraints associated with handling, utilizing, and site-specific delivery. The major drawbacks associated with the synthesis of nano-MOFs are related to the lack of control over particle size and inhomogeneous dispersion during doping.

Due to their flexible composition, large surface areas, versatile surface properties, and degradability, nanoscale metal organic frameworks (nano MOFs) are drawing significant attention in nanomedicine. In particular, iron trimesate MIL-100 (Fe) is studied extensively in the drug delivery field. Nanosized MIL-100 (Fe) are obtained mostly by microwave-assisted synthesis.

Microemulsions (MEs) comprising choline dioctylsulfosuccinate [Cho][AOT], a biobased ionic liquid (IL) surfactant as an emulsifier, ()-(+)-limonene (RL) as a nonpolar phase, and ethylene glycol (EG)/ethanolammonium formate (EOAF) as an organic solvent/low-viscosity IL polar component were constructed. Spontaneous aggregation of [Cho][AOT] was observed with a negative Δ form using isothermal titration calorimetry. The aggregates of [Cho][AOT] in RL showed a critical micellar concentration (cmc) of ∼5.

Although a number of nanozymes have been developed, it is still difficult to develop single-component nanozyme with overall high multienzyme-like activities. In this study, the nanosized metal-organic frameworks (nano-MOFs) FePCN (PCN stands for porous coordination network) was synthesized by integrating zirconium and iron ions with different catalytic property on single-component MOFs and exhibited superior intrinsic multienzyme-like activities, namely oxidase-, peroxidase- and phosphatase-mimicking activity. The catalytic active sites of oxidase- and peroxidase-, and phosphatase-like activity of FePCN were Fe-centers and Zr-O clusters, respectively.
