Abstract
Inspired by enzymatic catalysis, it is crucial to construct hydrogen-bonding-rich microenvironment around catalytic sites; unfortunately, its precise construction and understanding how the distance between such microenvironment and catalytic sites affects the catalysis remain significantly challenging. In this work, a series of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based single-atom Ru1 catalysts, namely, Ru1/UiO-67-X (X = -H, -m-(NH2)2, -o-(NH2)2), have been synthesized, where the distance between the hydrogen-bonding microenvironment and Ru1 sites is modulated by altering the location of amino groups. The -NH2 group can form hydrogen bonds with H2O, constituting a unique microenvironment that causes an increased water concentration around the Ru1 sites. Remarkably, Ru1/UiO-67-o-(NH2)2 displays a superior photocatalytic hydrogen production rate, ∼4.6 and ∼146.6 times of Ru1/UiO-67-m-(NH2)2 and Ru1/UiO-67, respectively. Both experimental and computational results suggest that the close proximity of amino groups to the Ru1 sites in Ru1/UiO-67-o-(NH2)2 improves charge transfer and H2O dissociation, accounting for the promoted photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Abstract
Phosphonate-based nerve agents, as a kind of deadly chemical warfare agent, are a persistent and evolving threat to humanity. Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) are a kind of highly porous crystalline material that includes Zr-OH-Zr sites and imitates the active sites of the phosphotriesterase enzyme, representing significant potential for the adsorption and catalytic hydrolysis of phosphonate-based nerve agents. In this work, we present a new Zr-MOF, UiO-66-2I, which attaches two iodine atoms in the micropore of the MOF and exhibits excellent catalytic activity on the degradation of a nerve agent simulant, dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), as the result of the formation of halogen bonds between the phosphate ester bonds and iodine groups. Furthermore, various morphologies of UiO-66-2I, such as blocky-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets, hexahedral NPs, stick-like NPs, colloidal microspheres, and colloidal NPs, have been obtained by adding acetic acid (AA), formic acid (FA), propionic acid (PA), valeric acid (VA), benzoic acid (BA), and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as modulators, respectively, and show different catalytic hydrolysis activities. Specifically, the catalytic activities follow the trend UiO-66-2I-FA (t1/2 = 1 min) > UiO-66-2I-AA-NP (t1/2 = 4 min) ≈ UiO-66-2I-VA (t1/2 = 4 min) > UiO-66-2I-BA (t1/2 = 5 min) > UiO-66-2I-PA (t1/2 = 15 min) > UiO-66-2I-TFA (t1/2 = 18 min). The experimental results show that the catalytic hydrolysis activity of Zr-MOF is regulated by the crystallinity, defect quantity, morphologies, and hydrophilicity of these samples, which synergistically affect the accessibility of catalytic sites and the diffusion of phosphate in the pores of Zr-MOFs.

Abstract
Recent terrorist assaults have demonstrated the need for the exploration and design of sustainable and stable chemical sensors with quick reaction times combined with great sensitivity. Among several classes of chemical warfare agents, nerve agents have been proven to be the most hazardous. Even short-term exposure to them can result in severe toxic effects. Human beings inadvertently face the after-effects of these chemicals even several years after these chemicals were used. Due to the extreme toxicity and difficulty in handling, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), a simulant of nerve agents with much lesser toxicity, is frequently used in laboratories as a substitute. Having a chemical structure almost identical to those of nerve agents, DMMP can mimic the properties of nerve agents. Through this paper, authors have attempted to introduce the evolution of several chemical sensors used to detect DMMP in recent years, including field-effect transistors, chemicapacitors, chemiresistors, and mass-sensitive sensors. A detailed discussion of the role of nanomaterials as chemical sensors in the detection of DMMP has been the main focus of the work through a comprehensive overview of the research on gas sensors that have been reported making use of the properties of a wide range of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) accounts for a significant portion of textile waste, and recycling strategies for this material have attracted much attention. This study proposes a facile and innovative PET recycling method applicable to environmental remediation that involves the conversion of dyed PET fabric waste into a value-added fabric. Herein, a template-based synthesis approach capable of growing a UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) directly on a dyed PET fabric is reported. The advantage of this process lies in its simplicity, where the partial hydrolysis of PET followed by a zirconium chloride treatment results in the successful growth of UiO-66 on a dyed PET fabric with the concurrent removal of the dye without additional steps. The catalytic performance of the UiO-66-grown fabric was evaluated through the degradation of dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), a nerve agent simulant. The fabric produced by the simple metal treatment (Zr@PEThyd) exhibited excellent DMNP degradation performance with t1/2 = 43.3 min and maintained functional stability after a harsh washing procedure, an outcome attributed to the surface-assisted UiO-66 growth that ensured good bonding stability. The developed process is innovative in that it uses dyed PET waste as a template for the direct growth of UiO-66, simplifying the process without compromising the catalytic functionality. This research provides an informative option for a sustainable textile recycling strategy by transforming dyed PET waste into an advanced self-detoxifying material.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a relatively new family of materials that attract lots of attention thanks to their unique features such as hierarchical porosity, active metal centers, versatility of linkers/metal nodes, and large surface area. Among the extended list of MOFs, Zr-based-MOFs demonstrate comparably superior chemical and thermal stabilities, making them ideal candidates for energy and environmental applications. As a Zr-MOF, NU-1000 is first synthesized at Northwestern University. A comprehensive review of various approaches to the synthesis of NU-1000 MOFs for obtaining unique surface properties (e.g., diverse surface morphologies, large surface area, and particular pore size distribution) and their applications in the catalysis (electro-, and photo-catalysis), CO2 reduction, batteries, hydrogen storage, gas storage/separation, and other environmental fields are presented. The review further outlines the current challenges in the development of NU-1000 MOFs and their derivatives in practical applications, revealing areas for future investigation.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered substantial scientific interest across diverse fields, spanning gas storage, catalysis, biotechnology, and more. Zirconium, abundant in nature and biologically relevant, offers an appealing combination of high content and low toxicity. Consequently, Zr-based MOFs have emerged as promising materials with significant potential in biomedical applications. These MOFs serve as effective nanocarriers for controlled drug delivery, particularly for challenging antitumor and retroviral drugs in cancer and AIDS treatment. Additionally, they exhibit prowess in bio-imaging applications. Beyond drug delivery, Zr-MOFs are notable for their mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability, making them increasingly relevant in engineering. The rising demand for stable, non-toxic Zr-MOFs facilitating facile nanoparticle formation, especially in drug delivery and imaging, is noteworthy. This review focuses on biocompatible zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) for controlled delivery in treating diseases like cancer and AIDS. These MOFs play a key role in theranostic approaches, integrating diagnostics and therapy. Additionally, their utility in bio-imaging underscores their versatility in advancing medical applications.

Abstract
Hydrolytic destruction of toxic organophosphorus nerve agents by metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts is commonly reliant on bulk water and volatile liquid base, preventing real-world implementation. Poor accessibility to MOF-based active sites in heterogeneous catalysis is also a crucial factor since reactants diffusion is limited by inherently small micropores. To overcome these practical limitations, a ligand-selective pyrolysis strategy was used to construct unsaturated Zr defects and additional mesopores in UiO-66(Zr). Owing to synergistic effect of Zr defects and hierarchical pores, hydrolysis rate constant (k) of nerve agent simulant DMNP (dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate) on optimal DHP-UiO-30% (defective hierarchical porous UiO-66) is 3.2 times higher than counterpart UiO-30% in N-ethylmorpholine buffer. Encapsulating imidazole (Im) into DHP-UiO-30% affords Im@DHP-UiO, mimicking phosphotriesterase. Im-72@DHP-UiO exhibits rapid DMNP detoxification with 99% conversion in 12 min and initial half-life (t1/2) of 1.8 min in nonbuffered water. As the first example of 'three-in-one' detoxifier, Im@DHP-UiO is further integrated onto nonwoven fabric to construct Im@DHP/Fiber, achieving solid-phase detoxification at ambient humidity with t1/2 of 19.6 min and final conversion of 91%. This is comparable to many powdered catalysts in aqueous solution buffered by volatile bases. This unified strategy is critical and viable to efficiently hydrolyze nerve agents in practical settings.

Abstract
The destruction of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is a crucial area of research due to the ongoing evolution of toxic chemicals. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of porous crystalline solids, have emerged as promising materials for this purpose. Their remarkable porosity and large surface areas enable superior adsorption, reactivity, and catalytic abilities, making them ideal for capturing and decomposing target species. Moreover, the tunable networks of MOFs allow customization of their chemical functionalities, making them practicable in personal protective equipment and adjustable to dynamic environments. This review paper focuses on experimental and computational studies investigating the removal of CWAs by MOFs, specifically emphasizing the removal of nerve agents (GB, GD, and VX) via hydrolysis and sulfur mustard (HD) via selective photooxidation. Among the different MOFs, zirconium-based MOFs exhibit extraordinary structural stability and reusability, rendering them the most promising materials for the hydrolytic and photooxidative degradation of CWAs. Accordingly, this work primarily concentrates on exploring the intrinsic catalytic reaction mechanisms in Zr-MOFs through first-principles approximations, as well as the design of efficient degradation strategies in the aqueous and solid phases through the establishment of Zr-MOF structure-property relationships. Recent progress in the tuning and functionalization of MOFs is also examined, aiming to enhance practical CWA removal under realistic battlefield conditions. By providing a comprehensive overview of experimental findings and computational insights, this review paper contributes to the advancement of MOF-based strategies for the destruction of CWAs and highlights the potential of these materials to address the challenges associated with chemical warfare.

Abstract
Enzymatic catalysis has fueled considerable interest from chemists due to its high efficiency and selectivity. However, the structural complexity and vulnerability hamper the application potentials of enzymes. Driven by the practical demand for chemical conversion, there is a long-sought quest for bioinspired catalysts reproducing and even surpassing the functions of natural enzymes. As nanoporous materials with high surface areas and crystallinity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an exquisite case of how natural enzymes and their active sites are integrated into porous solids, affording bioinspired heterogeneous catalysts with superior stability and customizable structures. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the advances of bioinspired MOFs for catalysis, discuss the design principle of various MOF-based catalysts, such as MOF-enzyme composites and MOFs embedded with active sites, and explore the utility of these catalysts in different reactions. The advantages of MOFs as enzyme mimetics are also highlighted, including confinement, templating effects, and functionality, in comparison with homogeneous supramolecular catalysts. A perspective is provided to discuss potential solutions addressing current challenges in MOF catalysis.

Abstract
The development of high-performance catalyst materials with high catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of organophosphorus toxicants without additional pH buffer conditions has become an urgent need for practical application. Here, a multifunctional molecularly imprinted polymer double network hydrogel (MIP-DN) material has been prepared by integrating the first polymer network containing the functional group of bi-amidoxime as the catalytic active center and the cationic polymer polyethyleneimine (PEI) with pH buffer function as the main component of the second network. Advantageously, the resultant MIP-DN hydrogel showed excellent catalytic performance without additional pH buffer conditions, exhibiting a half-life of 25 min for the hydrolysis of paraoxon in pure water. Together with multi-functions of high catalytic activity, self-buffering function and excellent processability, the MIP-DN hydrogel prepared in this work provides a new strategy for the preparation of catalytic materials with practical application value toward toxic organophosphates.

Catalytic metal-organic framework-melamine foam composite as an efficient material for the elimination of organic pollutants. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:44266-44275.

Abstract
Water-insoluble organic pollutants in environment, such as sea oil spill, industrial reagents, and the abused organic pesticides, bring great risks to global water systems, which thus requires effective approaches for organic pollutant elimination. In this study, we report a catalytic metal-organic framework (MOF)-melamine foam (MF) composite material (DDT-UiO-66-NH2@MF) showing excellent oil-water separation performance and enzyme-like degradation ability toward organophosphorus pesticides. The fabrication of DDT-UiO-66-NH2@MF is based on the immobilization of a MOF-derived nanozyme (UiO-66-NH2) on MF sponge, and followed by the hydrophobic modification of UiO-66-NH2 by 1-dodecanethiol (DDT). The obtained DDT-UiO-66-NH2@MF thus displayed superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic property with a high water contact angle (WCA = 144.6°) and specific adsorption capacity toward various oils/organic solvents (62.2-119.8 g/g), which leads to a continuous oil-water separation on a simple device. In the meanwhile, owing to the enzyme-like property of UiO-66-NH2, DDT-UiO-66-NH2@MF also displayed good ability to hydrolyze paraoxon under mild conditions, which facilitates the elimination of toxic pesticide residuals in water systems. This work provides a simple, efficient, and green approach for the separation and treatment of water-insoluble organic pollutants, as well as expands the use of MOFs-MF sponge composite materials in environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a versatile class of porous materials offering unprecedented scope for chemical and structural tunability. On account of their synthetic versatility, tunable and exceptional host-guest chemistry they are widely utilized in many prominent water remediation techniques. However, some of the MOFs present low structural stabilities specifically in aqueous and harsh chemical conditions which impedes their potential application in the field. Among the currently explored MOFs, UiO-66 exhibits structural robustness and has gained immense scientific popularity. Built with a zirconium-terephthalate framework, the strong Zr-O bond coordination contributes to its stability in aqueous, chemical, and thermal conditions. Moreover, other exceptional features such as high surface area and uniform pore size add to the grand arena of porous nanomaterials. As a result of its stable nature, UiO-66 offers relaxed admittance towards various functionalization, including synthetic and post-synthetic modifications. Consequently, the adsorptive properties of these highly stable frameworks have been modulated by the addition of various functionalities. Moreover, due to the presence of catalytically active sites, the use of UiO-66 has also been extended towards the degradation of pollutants. Furthermore, to solve the practical handling issues of the crystalline powdered forms, UiO-66 has been incorporated into various membrane supports. The incorporation of UiO-66 in various matrices has enhanced the rejection, permeate flux, and anti-fouling properties of membranes. The combination of such exceptional characteristics of UiO-66 MOF has expanded its scope in targeted purification techniques. Subsequently, this review highlights the role of UiO-66 in major water purification techniques such as adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, and membrane separation. This comprehensive review is expected to shed light on the existing developments and guide the inexhaustible futuristic scope of UiO-66 MOF.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great success in aqueous-phase hydrolysis of nerve agents, with some even showing promise in the gas phase. However, both aqueous-phase reactivity and gas-phase reactivity are hindered because of the binding of the hydrolyzed products to the MOF nodes in a stable, bridging configuration, which limits turnover. Single transition-metal atoms in MOFs have been a growing field of interest for catalytic applications, and single atoms have been proposed to prevent the unwanted bridged conformation and increase catalytic turnover. To date, there has been little experimental evidence to support the hypothesis. Herein, we report two copper single atom-modified UiO-66 MOFs for nerve-agent simulant degradation. Despite the capping of highly active Zr4+ nodes with fewer Lewis acidic Cun+ atoms, the reactivity of both CuMOFs approaches that of native UiO-66 under aqueous conditions. Computational studies reveal that the Cu coordination environment impairs product inhibition with respect to the native MOF.

Abstract
Since the emergence of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear risks, significant efforts have been made to create efficient personal protection equipment. Recently, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have emerged as new promising candidates for the capture and degradation of various threats, like chemical warfare agents (CWAs) or radioactive species. Herein, we report a new synthesis method of MOF-textile composites by microwave irradiation, with direct anchoring of MOFs on textiles. The resistance of the composite has been tested using normed abrasion measurements, and non-stable samples were optimized. The protection capacity of the MOF-textile composite has been tested against dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, a common CWA simulant, showing short degradation half-life (30 min). Radiological/nuclear protection has also been tested through uranium uptake (up to 15 mg g-1 adsorbent) and the capture of Kr or Xe gas at 0.9 and 2.9 cm3/g, respectively.

Abstract
For the neutralization of chemical warfare agents (CWAs), the generation of an effective catalyst that can be handled safely and applied in personal protective equipment is required. Recently, zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs: UiO-66 and UiO-67) have shown great promise in the degradation of CWAs, including nerve agents. Their catalytic activity is owed to the interplay of both Zr(IV) Lewis acids and Lewis basic groups in the MOF structure. The latter act as proximal bases that can interact with CWAs and improve the catalytic activity of Zr-MOFs. The powder form of MOFs, though, makes them impractical catalysts, as it is challenging to handle, regenerate, and reuse them. To address this challenge, we have synthesized three Zr-MOFs with Lewis basic amino and pyridine functionalities and shaped them in spherical polymeric beads using the phase inversion method. Using this method, we can generate beads with many polymer and MOF combinations (MOF@polymer). We controlled the MOF loading in these beads, and scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the MOF crystals are evenly distributed in the polymeric matrix, ensuring effective catalytic activity. We used these beads to degrade dimethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), a simulant for the G-type nerve agent. Using 31P NMR, we showed that UiO-66-NH2@PES and UiO-67-(NH2)2@PES PES: poly(ether sulfone) beads destruct DMNP to dimethyl phosphate (DMP) with a half-life (t1/2) of 5.09 and 4.34 min, respectively. Beads made of hydrophobic polymers such as poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), polystyrene (PS), and Zr-MOFs with pyridine functionalities show that the quantitative hydrolysis of DMNP requires more time compared to that seen with the UiO-66-NH2@PES beads. Our work highlights the facile shaping of MOF powders into beads that can be easily regenerated with their catalytic activity to be maintained for at least three cycles of use.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a subclass of nanoporous coordination polymers, have emerged as one of the most promising next-generation materials. The postsynthetic modification method, a strategy that provides tunability and control of these materials, plays an important role in enhancing its properties and functionalities. However, knowing adjustments which leads to a desired structure-function a priori remains a challenge. In this comprehensive study, the intermolecular interactions between 21 industrially important gases and a hydrostable STAM-17-OEt MOF were investigated using density functional theory. Substitutions on its 5-ethoxy isophthalate linker included two classes of chemical groups, electron-donating (-NH2, -OH, and -CH3) and electron-withdrawing (-CN, -COOH, and -F), as well as the effect of mono-, di-, and tri-substitutions. This resulted in 651 unique MOF-gas complexes. The adsorption energies at the ground state and room temperature, bond lengths, adsorption geometry, natural bond orbital analysis of the electric structure, HOMO-LUMO interactions, and the predicted zwitterionic properties are presented and discussed. This study provides a viable strategy for the functionalization, which leads to the strongest affinity for each gas, an insight into the role of different chemical groups in adsorbing various gas molecules, and identifies synthetic routes for moderating the gas adsorption capacity and reducing water adsorption. Recommendations for various applications are discussed. A custom Python script to assess and visualize the hypothetical separation of two equal gas mixtures of interest is provided. The methodology presented here provides new opportunities to expand the chemical space and physical properties of STAM-17-OEt and advances the development of other hydrostable MOFs.

Abstract
Novichoks are a novel class of nerve agents (also referred to as the A-series) that were employed in several poisonings over the last few years. This calls for the development of novel countermeasures that can be applied in protective concepts (e.g., protective clothing) or in decontamination methods. The Zr metal-organic framework MOF-808 has recently emerged as a promising catalyst in the hydrolysis of the V- and G-series of nerve agents as well as their simulants. In this paper, we report a detailed study of the degradation of three Novichok agents by MOF-808 in buffers with varying pH. MOF-808 is revealed to be a highly efficient and regenerable catalyst for Novichok agent hydrolysis under basic conditions. In contrast to the V- and G-series of agents, degradation of Novichoks is demonstrated to proceed in two consecutive hydrolysis steps. Initial extremely rapid P-F bond breaking is followed by MOF-catalyzed removal of the amidine group from the intermediate product. The intermediate thus acted as a competitive substrate that was rate-determining for the whole two-step degradation route. Under acidic conditions, the amidine group in Novichok A-230 is more rapidly hydrolyzed than the P-F bond, giving rise to another moderately toxic intermediate. This intermediate could in turn be efficiently hydrolyzed by MOF-808 under basic conditions. These experimental observations were corroborated by density functional theory calculations to shed light on molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
A defining characteristic of nearly all catalytically functional MOFs is uniform, molecular-scale porosity. MOF pores, linkers and nodes that define them, help regulate reactant and product transport, catalyst siting, catalyst accessibility, catalyst stability, catalyst activity, co-catalyst proximity, composition of the chemical environment at and beyond the catalytic active site, chemical intermediate and transition-state conformations, thermodynamic affinity of molecular guests for MOF interior sites, framework charge and density of charge-compensating ions, pore hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, pore and channel rigidity vs. flexibility, and other features and properties. Collectively and individually, these properties help define overall catalyst functional behaviour. This review focuses on how porous, catalyst-containing MOFs capitalize on molecular-scale confinement, containment, isolation, environment modulation, energy delivery, and mobility to accomplish desired chemical transformations with potentially superior selectivity or other efficacy, especially in comparison to catalysts in homogeneous solution environments.

Abstract
The performance of MOFs in catalysis is largely derived from structural features, and much work has focused on introducing structural changes such as defects or ligand functionalisation to boost the reactivity of the MOF. However, the effects of different parameters chosen for the synthesis on the catalytic reactivity of the resulting MOF remains poorly understood. Here, we evaluate the role of metal precursor on the reactivity of Zr-based MOF-808 towards hydrolysis of the peptide bond in the glycylglycine model substrate. In addition, the effect of synthesis temperature and duration has been investigated. Surprisingly, the metal precursor was found to have a large influence on the reactivity of the MOF, surpassing the effect of particle size or number of defects. Additionally, we show that by careful selection of the Zr-salt precursor and temperature used in MOF syntheses, equally active MOF catalysts could be obtained after a 20 minute synthesis compared to 24 h synthesis.

Abstract
A Ag3PO4/GO/UiO-66-NH2(AGU) composite photocatalyst was prepared by an ultrasonic-assisted in situ precipitation method. The optical property, structure, composition, and morphology of photocatalysts were investigated using UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and charge flow tracking by photodeposition of Pt and PbO2 nanoparticles. In comparison with Ag3PO4 and Ag3PO4/UiO-66-NH2(AU), the AGU composite photocatalyst showed heightened photocatalytic performance for the degradation of levofloxacin hydrochloride (LVF). The AGU photocatalyst (dosage: 0.8 g/L) with 1% mass content of graphene oxide (GO), the mass ratio of Ag3PO4 and UiO-66-NH2(U66N) reached 2:1, showed the highest photodegradation rate of 94.97% for 25 mg/L LVF after 60 min of visible light irradiation at pH = 6. The formation of a heterojunction and the addition of GO synergistically promote faster separation of electron-hole pairs, retain more active substances, and enhance the performance of the photocatalyst. Furthermore, the mechanism of the Z-scheme of the AGU composite photocatalytic is proposed.

Abstract
Rapid and robust sensing of nerve agent (NA) threats is necessary for real-time field detection to facilitate timely countermeasures. Unlike conventional phosphotriesterases employed for biocatalytic NA detection, this work describes the use of a new, green, thermally stable, and biocompatible zirconium metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF) catalyst, MIP-202(Zr). The biomimetic Zr-MOF-based catalytic NA recognition layer was coupled with a solid-contact fluoride ion-selective electrode (F-ISE) transducer, for potentiometric detection of diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), a F-containing G-type NA simulant. Catalytic DFP degradation by MIP-202(Zr) was evaluated and compared to the established UiO-66-NH2 catalyst. The efficient catalytic DFP degradation with MIP-202(Zr) at near-neutral pH was validated by 31P NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy and potentiometric F-ISE and pH-ISE measurements. Activation of MIP-202(Zr) using Soxhlet extraction improved the DFP conversion rate and afforded a 2.64-fold improvement in total percent conversion over UiO-66-NH2. The exceptional thermal and storage stability of the MIP-202/F-ISE sensor paves the way toward remote/wearable field detection of G-type NAs in real-world environments. Overall, the green, sustainable, highly scalable, and biocompatible nature of MIP-202(Zr) suggests the unexploited scope of such MOF catalysts for on-body sensing applications toward rapid on-site detection and detoxification of NA threats.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 417:126056.

Abstract
Constructing versatile materials with self-detoxification properties are highly desired for emergency destruction of chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Herein, we first reported in-situ fabrication of ZnIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 nanocomposites (ZnInS/UiO) and their application in catalytic detoxification of two CWA simulants. For nerve agent simulant dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), the optimal ZnInS/UiO-23.9 displayed 5.9 times increase in hydrolysis rate having the turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.0586 s-1 under simulated solar light (SSL), which is superior to the reported UiO-based catalysts. Photo-assisted enhancement in DMNP detoxification was due to photothermal effect of ZnInS and close interfacial contact in ZnInS/UiO heterostructures, facilitating instantaneous heat transfer from ZnInS to UiO catalytic sites. As for mustard gas surrogate 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), under SSL irradiation for 15 min, ZnInS/UiO-23.9 can eliminate 96.7% of CEES in droplet experiment, being 4.17 and 3.24 times of ZnInS and UiO accordingly. It was ascribed to spatial separation of photoinduced electron-hole pairs and photothermally-assisted charge transfer in ZnInS/UiO composites, improving catalytic activity for CEES detoxification. Besides, the detected products suggested that CEES conversion underwent reductive dechlorination, radical reactions and hydrolysis. This study can be extended to other multifunctional catalysts based on metal-organic frameworks and provides new opportunities for photoassisted enhanced detoxification of CWAs.

Abstract
Although banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention, organophosphorus nerve agents are still available and have been used in regional wars, terroristic attacks or for other crtaiminal purposes. Their degradation is of primary importance for the severe toxicity of these compounds. Here we report that gold nanoparticles passivated with thiolated molecules bearing 1,3,7-triazacyclononane and 1,3,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane ligands efficiently hydrolyze nerve agents simulants p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate and methylparaoxon as transition metal complexes at 25 °C and pH 8 with half-lives of the order of a few minutes. Mechanistically, these catalysts show an enzyme-like behavior, hence they constitute an example of nanozymes. The catalytic site appears to involve a single metal ion and its recognition of the substrates is driven mostly by hydrophobic interactions. The ease of preparation and the mild conditions at which they operate, make these nanozymes appealing catalysts for the detoxification after contamination with organophosphorus nerve agents, particularly those poorly soluble in water.

Analysis of Organophosphorus-Based Nerve Agent Degradation Products by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS): Current Derivatization Reactions in the Analytical Chemist's Toolbox.

Abstract
The field of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in the analysis of chemical warfare agents (CWAs), specifically those involving the organophosphorus-based nerve agents (OPNAs), is a continually evolving and dynamic area of research. The ever-present interest in this field within analytical chemistry is driven by the constant threat posed by these lethal CWAs, highlighted by their use during the Tokyo subway attack in 1995, their deliberate use on civilians in Syria in 2013, and their use in the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Great Britain in 2018 and Alexei Navalny in 2020. These events coupled with their potential for mass destruction only serve to stress the importance of developing methods for their rapid and unambiguous detection. Although the direct detection of OPNAs is possible by GC-MS, in most instances, the analytical chemist must rely on the detection of the products arising from their degradation. To this end, derivatization reactions mainly in the form of silylations and alkylations employing a vast array of reagents have played a pivotal role in the efficient detection of these products that can be used retrospectively to identify the original OPNA.

Abstract
Two novel Ag(I) complexes containing synergistic pyridine and amidoxime ligands (Ag-DPAAO and Ag-PAAO) were first designed as complex monomers. Taking advantage of the molecular imprinting technique and solvothermal method, molecular imprinted porous cross-linked polymers (MIPCPs) were developed as a robust platform for the first time to incorporate Ag-PAAO into a polymer material as a recyclable catalyst. Advantageously, the observed pseudo first-order rate constant (kobs) of MIPCP-Ag-PAAO-20% for ethyl-parathion (EP) hydrolysis is about 1.2 × 104-fold higher than that of self-hydrolysis (30 °C, pH = 9). Furthermore, the reaction mechanism of the MIPCP-containing Ag-PAAO-catalyzed organothiophosphate was analyzed in detail using density functional theory and experimental spectra, indicating that the amidoxime can display dual roles for both the key coordination with the silver ion and nucleophilic attack to weaken the P-OAr bond in the catalytic active site.

Abstract
With the rapid development of the nuclear industry, how to deal with radioactive iodine waste in a timely and effective manner has become an important issue to be solved urgently. Herein, the defect-engineering strategy has been applied to develop a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based solid adsorbent by using the classical UiO-type Hf-UiO-66 as an example. After simple acid treatment, the produced defect-containing Hf-UiO-66 (DHUN) not only retains its topological structure, high crystallization, and regular shape but also shows a great increase in the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller value and pore size in comparison with the original Hf-UiO (HUN). These formed defects within DHUN have been demonstrated to be important for the great enhancement of the iodine capture and following application in computed tomography imaging in vitro. This present work gives a new insight into the control and formation of defect sites, and this simple and efficient defect-engineering strategy also shows great promise for the development of novel solid adsorbents and other functional MOF materials.

Abstract
The promising reactive sorbent zirconium hydroxide (ZH) was challenged with common environmental contaminants (CO2, SO2, and NO2) to determine the impact on chemical warfare agent decomposition. Several environmental adsorbates rapidly formed on the ZH surface through available hydroxyl species and coordinatively unsaturated zirconium sites. ZH decontamination effectiveness was determined using a suite of instrumentation including in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) to monitor sarin (GB) decomposition in real time and at ambient pressure. Surface products were characterized by ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption enthalpies, entropies, and bond lengths for environmental contaminants and GB decomposition products were estimated using density functional theory (DFT). Consistent with the XPS and DRIFTS results, DFT simulations predicted the relative stabilities of molecular adsorbates and reaction products in the following order: CO2 < NO2 < GB ≈ SO2. Microbreakthrough capacity measurements on ZH showed a 7-fold increase in the sorption of NO2 vs SO2, which indicates differences in the surface reactivity of these species. GB decomposition was rapid on clean and CO2-dosed ZH and showed reduced decomposition on SO2- and NO2-predosed samples. Despite these findings, the total GB sorption capacity of clean and predosed ZH was consistent across all samples. These data provide insight into the real-world use of ZH as a reactive sorbent for chemical decontamination applications.

Abstract
Pesticides are chemicals widely used for agricultural industry, despite their negative impact on health and environment. Although various methods have been developed for pesticide degradation to remedy such adverse effects, conventional materials often take hours to days for complete decomposition and are difficult to recycle. Here, we demonstrate the rapid degradation of organophosphate pesticides with a Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF), showing complete degradation within 15 min. MOFs with different active site structures (Zr node connectivity and geometry) were compared, and a porphyrin-based MOF with six-connected Zr nodes showed remarkable degradation efficiency with half-lives of a few minutes. Such a high efficiency was further confirmed in a simple flow system for several cycles. This study reveals that MOFs can be highly potent heterogeneous catalysts for organophosphate pesticide degradation, suggesting that coordination geometry of the Zr node significantly influences the catalytic activity.

Abstract
Selective dephosphorylation is full of great challenges in the field of biomimetic catalysis. To mimic the active sites of protein phosphatase, Hf-OH-Hf motif-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were obtained and structurally characterized, which are assembled from [Hf48Ni6] cubic nanocages and exhibit good stability in various solvents and acid/base solutions. Catalytic investigations suggest as-synthesized Hf-Ni and Hf-Ni-NH 2 display accurate type-selectivity (selectively catalyzed P-O rather than S-O or C-O bonds) and position-selectivity (selectively catalyzed phosphomonoesters over phosphodiesters) for the hydrolysis of phosphoesters. Reaction kinetic studies further revealed the high activity of the catalytic sites in these catalysts, and the unique catalytic selectivity and high activity are comparable to phosphatase. Additionally, these MOF catalysts possess good recursivity and hypotoxicity. Control experiments (including Hf- and Zr-based isomorphous MOFs) and theoretical calculations indicate that both triplet nickel and Hf6 clusters play significant roles in the unique binding site and favorable binding energy. To our knowledge, this is the first example of selective dephosphorylation through MOF catalysts as mimic enzymes, which paves a potential way for the development of specific therapeutic MOFs.

Abstract
The kinetics of hydrolysis of dimethyl nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), a simulant of the nerve agent Soman, was studied and revealed transition metal salts as catalysts. The relative rates of DMNP hydrolysis by zirconium and hafnium chlorides are in accordance with their Lewis acidity. In situ conversion of zirconium chloride to zirconium oxy-hydroxide was identified as the key step. We propose a precursor-MOF activity relationship.

Abstract
For the first time, the co-presence in the saponite structure of luminescent EuIII and catalytic NbV metal sites was exploited for the simultaneous detection and catalytic abatement of sulfur-containing blister chemical warfare agents. Metal centers were introduced in structural positions of the saponite (in the interlayer space or inside the inorganic framework) following two different synthetic methodologies. The functionalized saponites were able to reveal the presence of a sulfur mustard simulant (2-chloroethyl)ethyl sulfide (CEES) after few seconds of contact time and more than 80 % of the substrate was catalytically decomposed after 24 h in the presence of aqueous hydrogen peroxide.

In vitro human skin decontamination efficacy of MOF-808 in decontamination lotion following exposure to the nerve agent VX. Toxicol Lett 2020; 339:32-38.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown promising properties for removal of chemical warfare agents, in particular for material decontamination and functionalized fabrics. The MOF-properties could also be beneficial for skin decontamination, especially when exposed to highly toxic and low volatile nerve agents. In such exposures, efficient decontamination is crucial for adequate medical management. In the present study, seven zirconium-based MOFs were evaluated for their ability to degrade VX and subsequently tested in vitro for decontamination of VX on human dermatomed skin. Of the MOFs evaluated, MOF-808 showed the greatest ability to degrade VX in an alkaline buffer with complete degradation of VX within 5 min. PCN-777, Zr-NDC and NU-1000 displayed degradation half-lives of approximately 10 min. When including MOF-808 in a skin friendly carrier with slightly acidic pH, a decreased agent degradation rate was observed, requiring over 24 h to reach complete degradation. In skin decontamination experiments, MOF-808 enhanced the efficacy compared to the carrier alone, essentially by improved agent absorption. Adding MOF-808 to Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion (RSDL) did not improve the high effectiveness of RSDL alone. The present study showed that including MOF in skin decontamination lotions could be beneficial. Further studies should include optimizing the particulates and formulations.

Abstract
Many metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporate nodes that are small metal oxide clusters. Some of these MOFs are stable at high temperatures, offering good prospects as catalysts-prospects that focus attention on their defect sites and reactivities-all part of a broader subject: the surface chemistry of metal oxide clusters, illustrated here for MOF nodes and for polyoxocations and polyoxoanions. Ligands on MOF defect sites form during synthesis and are central to the understanding and control of MOF reactivity. Reactions of alcohols are illustrative probes of Zr6O8 node defects in UiO-66, characterized by the interconversions of formate, methoxy, hydroxy, and linker carboxylate ligands and by catalysis of alcohol dehydration reactions. We posit that new reactivities of MOF nodes will emerge from incorporation of a wide range of groups on their surfaces and from targeted substitutions of metals within them.

Abstract
Zr-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit a good performance of catalyzing the hydrolysis of chemical warfare agents, which is closely related to the size of MOF particles and its defects, but these two factors are often intertwined. In this article, we synthesized UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. By using a new modulator 4-Fluoro-3-Formyl-Benzoic Acid (FFBA) in different proportions, MOF particles with the same defect degree but different scales and those with similar sizes but different defect degrees can be obtained. The performance of the obtained MOF particles to catalyze the hydrolysis of the nerve agent simulant, dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), was investigated, and the effects of single factors of size or defect were compared for the first time. As the size of the obtained MOF particles increased from 81 nm to 159 nm, the catalytic degradation efficiency toward DMNP gradually decreased, and the half-life increased from 3.9 min to 11.1 min. For MOFs that have similar crystal sizes, the catalytic degradation half-life of MOF3 is only 5 min, which is much smaller than that of MOF5 due to the defects increase from 1.2 to 1.8 per Zr6 cluster.

Abstract
Owing to their molecular building blocks, yet highly crystalline nature, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) sit at the interface between molecule and material. Their diverse structures and compositions enable them to be useful materials as catalysts in heterogeneous reactions, electrical conductors in energy storage and transfer applications, chromophores in photoenabled chemical transformations, and beyond. In all cases, density functional theory (DFT) and higher-level methods for electronic structure determination provide valuable quantitative information about the electronic properties that underpin the functions of these frameworks. However, there are only two general modeling approaches in conventional electronic structure software packages: those that treat materials as extended, periodic solids, and those that treat materials as discrete molecules. Each approach has features and benefits; both have been widely employed to understand the emergent chemistry that arises from the formation of the metal-organic interface. This Review canvases these approaches to date, with emphasis placed on the application of electronic structure theory to explore reactivity and electron transfer using periodic, molecular, and embedded models. This includes (i) computational chemistry considerations such as how functional, k-grid, and other model variables are selected to enable insights into MOF properties, (ii) extended solid models that treat MOFs as materials rather than molecules, (iii) the mechanics of cluster extraction and subsequent chemistry enabled by these molecular models, (iv) catalytic studies using both solids and clusters thereof, and (v) embedded, mixed-method approaches, which simulate a fraction of the material using one level of theory and the remainder of the material using another dissimilar theoretical implementation.

Abstract
Lightweight and wearable fabrics with rapid self-detoxification functions are highly desired to resist chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with high specific surface area and customizability are singularly attractive because of their ability to effectively capture and catalytically degrade CWAs. Herein, photothermal graphene-based nanocomposite fabrics are designed by wet-spinning and chemical reduction of graphene oxide fibers followed by in situ growth of UiO-66-NH2. The flexible graphene fabrics decorated with UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles exhibit an ultrafast photothermal catalytic decontamination of dimethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP), a typical simulant of CWAs. The half-life of the degradation reaction decreases from 3.4 to 1.6 min under simulated solar light irradiation, a significant gain over the values reported in the literature. Furthermore, DMNP can be degraded in 20 min by the graphene/UiO-66-NH2 fabric, and even after 5 cycles the degradation efficiency still retains more than 92 %. More importantly, the photothermal conversion of graphene and its instantaneous heat transfer to the UiO-66-NH2 catalyst effectively accelerate the catalytic reaction kinetics, achieving the fast detoxification of DMNP. The combination of catalytic degradation of MOFs with photothermal conversion effect of graphene makes the lightweight and flexible fabrics promising for protection against CWAs and other pollutants.

Abstract
Cellular life is orchestrated by the biochemical components of cells that include nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and cofactors such as metabolites and metals, all of which coalesce and function synchronously within the cell. Metalloenzymes allow for such complex chemical processes, as they catalyze a myriad of biochemical reactions both efficiently and selectively, where the metal cofactor provides additional functionality to promote reactivity not readily achieved in their absence. While the past 60 years have yielded considerable insight on how enzymes catalyze these reactions, a need to engineer and develop artificial metalloenzymes has been driven not only by industrial and therapeutic needs, but also by innate human curiosity. The design of miniature enzymes, both rationally and through serendipity, using both organic and inorganic building blocks has been explored by many scientists over the years and significant progress has been made. Herein, recent developments over the past 5 years in areas that have not been recently reviewed are summarized, and prospects for future research in these areas are addressed.

Abstract
The conversion of ethanol to more valuable hydrocarbon compounds receives great attention in chemical industries because it could diminish the dependency on petroleum as raw material. We investigate the catalytic performance of Fe-supported MOF NU-1000 for the dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde with nitrous oxide (N2O) by deriving the relevant reaction profiles with density functional theory calculations. In the proposed mechanism, the activation barrier of the rate-determining step is almost four times lower in the presence of N2O than without it. The supported NU-1000 framework plays also important role since it facilitates electron transfers and stabilizes all species along the reaction coordinate. When considering the catalytic activity of tetravalent metal centers (Zr, Hf and Ti) substituted into NU-1000 it is found that their activity decreases in the order Hf ≥ Zr > Ti, based on activation energies and turnover frequencies (TOF). Concerning MOF linkers, we show that the catalytic activity is not further improved by functionalizing NU-1000 with either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing organic groups.

Abstract
A UiO-66-NCS MOF was formed by postsynthetic modification of UiO-66-NH2 . The UiO-66-NCS MOFs displays a circa 20-fold increase in activity against the chemical warfare agent simulant dimethyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) compared to UiO-66-NH2 , making it the most active MOF materials using a validated high-throughput screening. The -NCS functional groups provide reactive handles for postsynthetic polymerization of the MOFs into functional materials. These MOFs can be tethered to amine-terminated polypropylene polymers (Jeffamines) through a facile room-temperature synthesis with no byproducts. The MOFs are then crosslinked into a MOF-polythiourea (MOF-PTU) composite material, maintaining the catalytic properties of the MOF and the flexibility of the polymer. This MOF-PTU hybrid material was spray-coated onto Nyco textile fibers, displaying excellent adhesion to the fiber surface. The spray-coated fibers were screened for the degradation of DMNP and showed durable catalytic reactivity.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown promise for the catalytic decomposition of chemical weapons. Finding the best materials for the degradation of nerve agents requires the ability to screen a high number of samples and elucidate the key parameters of effective catalysis. In this work, a high-throughput screening (HTS) method has been developed to evaluate MOFs as catalysts, specifically against the V-class of nerve agents. Over 100 MOFs have been tested using the V-class simulant, O,O-diethyl S-phenyl phosphorothioate (DEPPT), revealing good activity for some UiO-66 derivatives. A medium-throughput hydrolysis assay for the nerve agent O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl]methylphosphonothioate (VX) was also performed using six MOFs selected from HTS and was validated by 31P NMR. The results demonstrated that the DEPPT-based assay is a good indicator of V-series agent reactivity and should be considered in addition to the common (4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (DMNP) assay that is used for G-series agents.

Abstract
This Review summarizes the recent progress made in the field of chemical threat reduction by utilizing new in situ analytical techniques and combinations thereof to study multifunctional materials designed for capture and decomposition of nerve gases and their simulants. The emphasis is on the use of in situ experiments that simulate realistic operating conditions (solid-gas interface, ambient pressures and temperatures, time-resolved measurements) and advanced synchrotron methods, such as in situ X-ray absorption and scattering methods, a combination thereof with other complementary measurements (e.g., XPS, Raman, DRIFTS, NMR), and theoretical modeling. The examples presented in this Review range from studies of the adsorption and decomposition of nerve agents and their simulants on Zr-based metal organic frameworks to Nb and Zr-based polyoxometalates and metal (hydro)oxide materials. The approaches employed in these studies ultimately demonstrate how advanced synchrotron-based in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and diffraction can be exploited to develop an atomic- level understanding of interfacial binding and reaction of chemical warfare agents, which impacts the development of novel filtration media and other protective materials.

Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) have been reported to be efficient catalysts for the hydrolysis of organophosphate chemical warfare agents (CWAs) in buffered solutions. However, for the gas-phase reaction, which is more relevant to the situation in a battlefield gas mask application, the kinetics of Zr-MOF catalysts may be severely hindered by strong product inhibition. To improve the catalytic performance, we computationally screened a series of synthetically accessible Zr-MOF-supported bimetallic metal-oxo clusters in which the metal-oxygen-metal active motif is preserved, aiming to find catalysts that have lower binding affinities to the hydrolysis product. For the promising catalyst Al2O2(OH)2@NU-1000 identified from the screening using density functional theory, we mapped out the full reaction pathway of gas-phase dimethyl p-nitrophenolphosphate (DMNP) hydrolysis and analyzed the free energy profile as well as the turnover frequency (TOF). We found that the catalytic mechanism on the new catalyst is slightly different from the one on NU-1000, which also led to a different TOF-limiting step. Additional factors that can affect the overall catalytic performance in practical application, such as the amount of ambient moisture and the existence of acid gases that may poison the catalyst, have also been evaluated.

Abstract
Organophoshorus nerve agents are among the most toxic chemicals known to humans, and because of their unfortunate recent use despite international bans, there is an urgent need to develop materials that can effectively degrade these nerve agents. Within the past decade, zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) have emerged as a bioinspired class of materials capable of rapidly hydrolyzing these compounds and significantly diminishing their toxicity. Both experimental and computational insights have guided the design of Zr-MOFs, leading to the development of catalysts capable of detoxifying nerve agents and simulants, chemicals with similar functionality but lower toxicity, via hydrolysis within seconds in basic aqueous solutions. While these systems are acceptable for the elimination of stockpile weapons, translating this catalytic performance to filters incorporating Zr-MOFs that can be used in masks or protective clothing is not trivial. As such, a large area of focus recently has been targeted toward integrating these hydrolysis catalysts into protective clothing and gear while retaining the performance from solution-based catalytic systems. This Forum Article provides an overview of the development of Zr-MOFs for the catalytic hydrolysis of organophosphorus substrates, including design principles and mechanistic insights for both solution-based and textile-coated systems. Finally, we highlight the remaining challenges yet to be addressed and offer perspectives on the future directions for this field.
