Integrating different modification strategies into a single step to achieve the desired properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been very synthetically challenging, especially in developing advanced MOF/polymer mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). Herein, we report a polymer-MOF (polyMOF) system constructed from a carboxylated polymer with intrinsic microporosity (cPIM-1) ligand. This intrinsically microporous ligand could coordinate with metals, leading to ~100 nm-sized polyMOF nanoparticles. Compared to control MOFs, these polyMOFs exhibit enhanced ultramicroporosity for efficient molecular sieving, and they have better dispersion properties in casting solutions to prepare MMMs. Ultimately, integrating coordination chemistries through the cPIM-1 and polymer-based functionality into porous materials results in polyMOF/PIM-1 MMMs that display excellent CO separation performance (surpassing the CO/N and CO/CH upper bounds). In addition to exploring the physicochemical and transport properties of this polyMOF system, scalability has been demonstrated by converting the developed MMM material into large-area (400 cm) thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes.

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) activation by STING agonists has been recognized as one of the potent and promising immunotherapy strategies. However, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment always hinders the therapeutic efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. In this report, we present polymeric metal-organic framework (PMOF) nanoparticles (NPs) for the combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and enhanced STING activation to improve the immunotherapeutic efficacy.

The sensitive determination of food-borne pathogens from food products is essential to ensure food safety and to protect people's health. Herein, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor was manufactured based on defect-rich bimetallic cerium/indium oxide nanocrystals confined in mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon (denoted as InO/CeO@mNC) for sensitively detecting Escherichia coli (E. coli) from real samples.

Metal-organic framework nanoparticles (MOF NPs) have emerged as an important class of materials that display significantly enhanced performance in many applications compared to bulk MOF materials; their synthesis, however, commonly involves a tedious sequence that controls particle size and surface properties in separate steps. Now, a simple strategy to access functional MOF NPs in one pot is reported that uses a polyMOF ligand possessing a polymer block for surface functionalization and a coordination block with tunable multivalency for size control. This strategy produces uniform polyMOF-5 NPs with sizes down to 20 nm, displaying exceptional structural and colloidal stability upon exposure to ambient conditions.
