We use synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements to monitor the solvothermal crystallization mechanism of the aperiodic metal-organic framework TRUMOF-1. Following an initial incubation period, TRUMOF-1 forms as a metastable intermediate that subsequently transforms into an ordered product with triclinic crystal symmetry. We determine the structure of this ordered phase, which we call msw-TRUMOF-1, and show that it is related to TRUMOF-1 through topotactic reorganization of linker occupancies. Our results imply that the connectivity of TRUMOF-1 can be reorganized, as required for data storage and manipulation applications.

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with exceptional dynamics and diverse active sites possess tremendous potential in information security and anticounterfeiting applications. However, traditional MOF systems are based on broadband spectral signals with spectrum overlap, which easily leads to low-resolution signal identification, compromising the overall security level. Here, we report the coordination-defect-induced amorphous pure-MOF microsphere with switchable whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) signals as a mode-dependent security platform.

Article Synopsis
- Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are gaining popularity due to their outstanding properties, making understanding their structure-property relationship essential for their use and development.
- Scanning transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM) is a key technique for characterizing these materials at the nanoscale, but MOFs' sensitivity to electron beams complicates this process.
- The paper highlights recent advancements in low-dose (S)TEM techniques for analyzing MOFs, covering framework structures, defects, and guest molecule distribution, while also introducing new technologies and future research directions.

Article Synopsis
- Three solid solutions of [CHNH]CoNi(HCOO) were created with varying compositions (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75) and analyzed for their structural and magnetic characteristics using advanced techniques.
- All compounds exhibit an orthorhombic crystal structure at room temperature but undergo unique phase transitions upon cooling, with distinct behaviors observed for each composition.
- The study highlights that while the structural changes differ, the overall magnetic properties of the solutions create a continuous spectrum between the cobalt and nickel end compounds, allowing for manipulation of magnetic behavior through metal site doping.
Enhanced elastic stability of a topologically disordered crystalline metal-organic framework.

By virtue of their open network structures and low densities, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are soft materials that exhibit elastic instabilities at low applied stresses. The conventional strategy for improving elastic stability is to increase the connectivity of the underlying MOF network, which necessarily increases the material density and reduces the porosity. Here we demonstrate an alternative paradigm, whereby elastic stability is enhanced in a MOF with an aperiodic network topology.
