Post-synthetic modification plays a crucial role in precisely adjusting the structure and functions of advanced materials. Herein, we report the self-assembly of a tubular heterometallic PdCuL1 capsule that incorporates Pd(II) and CuL1 metalloligands. This capsule undergoes further modification with two tridentate anionic ligands (L2) to afford a bicapped PdCuL1L2 capsule with an Edshammer polyhedral structure. By employing transition metal ions, acid, and oxidation agents, the bicapped capsule can be converted into an uncapped one. This uncapped form can then revert back to the bicapped structure on the addition of Br ions and a base. Interestingly, introducing Ag ions leads to the removal of one L2 ligand from the bicapped capsule, yielding a mono-capped PdCuL1L2 structure. Furthermore, the size of the anions critically influences the precise control over the post-synthetic modifications of the capsules. It was demonstrated that these capsules selectively encapsulate tetrahedral anions, offering a novel approach for the design of intelligent molecular delivery systems.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid inorganic-organic 3D coordination polymers with metal sites and organic linkers, which are a "hot" topic in the research of sorption, separations, catalysis, sensing, and environmental remediation. In this study, we explore the molecular mechanism and kinetics of interaction of the new copper porphyrin aluminum metal-organic framework (actAl-MOF-TCPPCu) compound with a vapor of the volatile organic sulfur compound (VOSC) diethyl sulfide (DES). First, compound was synthesized by post-synthetic modification (PSM) of Al-MOF-TCPPH compound by inserting Cu ions into the porphyrin ring and characterized by complementary qualitative and quantitative chemical, structural, and spectroscopic analysis.

This manuscript explores the post-synthetic modification (PSM) of amine-functionalized porous coordination cages, specifically focusing on the formation of imine bonds through reactions with aldehydes. Targeting various cage topologies, including zirconium-, magnesium-, and molybdenum-based structures, we demonstrate the tunability of cage solubility and porosity through selective functionalization where the proximity of amine groups on the parent cage impacts the extent of modification. The work highlights the reversible nature of imine formation, offering potential applications in solubility switching and mixed-metal solid synthesis.

The pressing demand for critical metals necessitates the development of advanced ion separation technologies for circular resource economies. To separate transition metal ions, which exhibit near-identical chemical properties, adsorbents and membranes must be designed with ultraselective chemistries. We leverage the customizability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to systematically study the role of material chemistry in sorption and selectivity of Co, Ni, and Cu.

Background: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a highly promising stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), but the separation of polar compounds is limited by their low hydrophilicity. Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel COFs-based stationary phases with balanced hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity for the efficient separation of different polar compounds.

Results: In this paper, glutathione (GSH)-functionalized COFs@silica microspheres (GSH-COFs@SiO) were synthesized via a two-step, post-synthesis modification strategy.
