Hg is highly toxic and can cause serious harm to the environment and humans. Thus, it is vital to develop efficient Hg sensors. In this work, a LMOF-based (LMOF = luminescent metal-organic framework) "turn-on" Hg sensor () is first developed by an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) functional ligand. with a formula of [Cd()(NDA)(HO)()(MeOH)] ( = 4,4'-((2,7-di--butyl-9-fluoren-9-ylidene)-methylene)dipyridine; HNDA = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) exhibits a unique (3,4)-connected 2-D framework with 3-connected Cd1, 4-connected [Cd(COO)] cluster, and and NDA bridges. The fluorene rings of in stack in a back-to-back manner. has excellent water, pH, and thermal stabilities and can "turn-on" detect Hg with ultrahigh sensitivity, good selectivity, and recyclability in a water medium. Furthermore, shows obvious naked-eye-visible emission change and an extremely fast sensing response toward Hg (<1 S) and can maintain its enhanced intensity over 5 min. The test paper is developed for practical "turn-on" Hg sensing application. The "turn-on" Hg sensing mechanism of is discussed in detail.

Early and portable detection of pathogenic bacteria is crucial for ensuring food safety, monitoring product quality, and tracing the sources of bacterial infections. Moving beyond traditional plate-culture counting methods, the analysis of active bacterial components offers a rapid means of quantifying bacteria. Here, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived NiCo-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (LDHs), synthesized via the Kirkendall effect, were employed as highly effective oxidase mimics to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Indium nitride (InN) exhibited significant potential as a photoelectrode material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, attributed to its superior light absorption, high electron mobility, and direct bandgap. However, its practical application was constrained by rapid carrier recombination occurring within the bulk and at the surface. To address these limitations, researchers developed InN/UiO-66 heterojunction photoelectrodes, which markedly enhanced PEC water splitting for hydrogen production.

Metal-organic complexes with long afterglow luminescence have attracted extensive attention due to potential applications in display, sensing and information security. However, most of the metal-organic complex long afterglow materials reported so far are limited to the use of UV light as the excitation source, and the ambiguity of the structure-activity relationship makes the development of metal-organic complexes extremely limited. Herein, a series of metal-organic complexes with ultralong emission lifetime is constructed by coordination assembly of Zn(II) with three isomers.

The encapsulation of viologen derivatives in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to construct host-guest materials has been widely discussed owing to their distinctive spatial arrangement and physical/chemical properties. Herein, three new photochromic MOFs (NWM-1-3) have been successfully synthesized by 1,1,2,2-Tetra(4-carboxylphenyl)ethylene (H4TCPE) ligand as well as three different viologen derivatives based on host-guest strategy. Remarkably, NWM-1-3 exhibit a notable reversible photochromism change from yellow to green under 365 nm UV irradiation.

The rapid advancement of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in recent years has firmly established them as a new class of molecularly precise and highly tuneable porous materials. However, compared to other porous materials, such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks, the successful integration of hierarchical porosity into COFs remains largely unexplored. The challenge lies in identifying appropriate synthetic methods to introduce secondary pores without compromising the intrinsic structural porosity of COFs.
