Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) were decorated onto Zn-MOF-74 crystals by photoreducing different metal precursors (Pt, Au, and Ag) using ultraviolet (UV) light in an aqueous solution with different metal concentrations without using additional stabilizers. X-ray diffraction revealed the three-dimensional structural integrity and crystallinity conservation of Zn-MOF-74 crystals during the UV decoration process. Raman spectroscopy showed a minor rearrangement in the structure of the Zn-MOF-74 crystal surface after NP decoration. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the metal oxidation states of Zn and NPs. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images proved the surface decoration of Zn-MOF-74 crystals with spherical metallic NPs with diameters between 2.4 and 9.8 nm.

In the present work, nanocrystalline Zn-MOF-74 is shown to be a heterogeneous catalyst for the acid-catalyzed ring-opening alcoholysis of cyclohexene oxide. The results corroborated that accessible open metal sites within the material are critical conditions (Zn(ii) Lewis acid sites) for this reaction. Zn-MOF-74 was tested at three different temperatures (30, 40, and 50 °C) for the alcoholysis reaction.

The controlled introduction of defects into MOFs is a powerful strategy to induce new physiochemical properties and improve their performance for target applications. Herein, we present a new strategy for defect formation and amorphization of the canonical MOF-74 frameworks based on fine-tuning of adsorbate-framework interactions in the metal congener, hence introducing structural defects. Specifically, we demonstrate that controlled interactions between the MOF and bidentate ligands adsorbed in the pores initiates defect formation and eventual amorphization of the crystal.

A zinc-based metal organic framework, Zn-MOF-74, which has a unique one-dimensional (1D) channel and nanoscale aperture size, was rapidly obtained in 10 min using a mild water-based system at room temperature, which is an example of green and sustainable chemistry. First, catalase (CAT) enzyme was encapsulated into Zn-MOF-74 (denoted as CAT@Zn-MOF-74), and comparative assays of biocatalysis, size-selective protection, and framework-confined effects were investigated. Electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction were used for characterization, while electrophoresis and confocal microscopy confirmed the immobilization of CAT molecules inside the single hexagonal MOF crystals at loading of ∼15 wt %.

The stability of metal-organic frameworks is a key factor in many applications in some fields that require working under harsh conditions. It is known that a large number of MOFs are vulnerable to humid air. It means that when they are exposed to water, a structural collapse of the crystal happens.
