Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show promising results in various fields, such as gas separation and catalysis, but they face limitations due to problems associated with their low processability. This study addresses these challenges by utilizing postsynthetic modification (PSM) of NH-UiO-66 and NH-MOF-808 with 1,3,5-benzene tricarbaldehyde (BTCA) to form hybrid aerogels consisting of MOF-loaded covalent organic framework (COF). BTCA-modified MOF nanoparticles via imine bond formation were confirmed by H NMR, FTIR, and solid-state C NMR spectroscopies. MOF/COF composites were analyzed via TGA, PXRD, BET, and solid-state C NMR, showing retained crystallinity and increased porosity in comparison to the sum of the individual components. Moreover, improved aerogel mechanical properties and increased MOF loading of up to 75 wt % were achieved for covalently bound aerogels. Hybrid aerogel composites were successfully utilized as catalytic filters for the decomposition of nerve agent simulant and pesticide dimethyl-4-nitrophenylphosphate (DMNP), avoiding secondary pollution associated with MOF powder catalysis.

The preQ cIass-I riboswitch aptamer can utilize 7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine (preQ) ligands that are equipped with an electrophilic handle for the covalent attachment of the ligand to the RNA. The simplicity of the underlying design of irreversibly bound ligand-RNA complexes has provided a new impetus in the fields of covalent RNA labeling and RNA drugging. Here, we present short and robust synthetic routes for such reactive preQ and (2,6-diamino-7-aminomethyl-7-deazapurine) DPQ ligands.

The electronic structures of the first- and second-row homonuclear diatomics, XeF, and the weakly bound dimers of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide molecules in their ground states are discussed in terms of molecular orbital (MO) theory and, where possible, valence bond theories. The current work is extended and supported by restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock (RHF and UHF) self-consistent field (SCF), complete active space SCF (CASSCF), multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI), coupled cluster CCSD(T), and unrestricted Kohn-Sham (UKS) density functional calculations using a polarized triple-zeta basis. The dicarbon (C) molecule is especially poorly described by RHF theory, and it is argued that the current MO theories taught in most undergraduate courses should be extended in recognition of the fact that the molecule requires at least a two-configuration treatment.

In this study, we investigated the non-covalent interaction mechanism between rice protein (RP) and three polyphenols with different concentrations (ferulic acid FA, gallic acid GA, and tannic acid TA) and their effects on the structure and emulsion stability of the proteins. Hydrophobic forces dominated the binding of RP to the polyphenols, and the reaction was heat-absorbing. The three polyphenols are bound to RP in the form of static quenching to form a non-covalent complex, and during the binding process, the RP provides one binding site.

π-Hole interactions between a metal-bound halide and a quinoid ring are described in four novel isostructural co-crystals with the formula [Cu(terpy)ClX]·X'Q (terpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine; Q = quinone; X = Br, I; X' = Cl, Br). An unusually strong π-hole interaction between Cu-X and the quinoid ring is noted. Periodic DFT computations estimate the energy of the X⋯quinone interaction to be -20.

We characterize the attachment of excess-electrons to organic nanoporous systems such as molecular nanohoops and models of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) using many-body methods. All the nanopore systems exhibit diffuse electronic states where the excess-electron is bound to the molecular scaffold via long-range polarization forces, and the excess-electron is predominantly localized in the interior of the nanopore or away from the molecular scaffold. Such ``nanopore-bound'' states show an enhanced electron-transfer coupling compared to more strongly-bound skeletal-states (or valence-bound states), where the excess-electron is confined to the molecular skeleton.
