Abstract
When catalytic reactions are interfered with by radiation sources, thorium clusters are promising as potential catalysts due to their superior radiation resistance. However, there is currently very little research on the design synthesis and catalytic application of radiation-stable thorium clusters. In this work, we have elaborately engineered and fabricated three high-nuclear thorium cluster catalysts denoted as Th12L3-MA12, Th12L3-MA6-BF6, and Th12L3-Fcc12, which did not undergo any significant alterations in their molecular structures and compositions after irradiation with 690 kGy γ-rays. We systematically investigated the photocatalytic/thermocatalytic properties of these radiation-resistant thorium clusters for the first time and found that γ-rays could not alter their catalytic activities. In addition, it was found that ligand engineering could modulate the catalytic activity of thorium clusters, thus expanding the range of catalytic applications of thorium clusters, including reduction reactions (nitroarene reduction) and some oxidation reactions (N-heterocyclic oxidative dehydrogenation and diphenylmethane oxidation). Meanwhile, all of these organic transformation reactions achieved a >80% conversion and nearly 100% product selectivity. Radiation experiments combined with DFT calculations showed that the synergistic catalysis of thorium-oxo core and ligands led to the generation of specific active species (H+, O2•-, or tBuO/tBuOO•) and activation of substrate molecules, thus achieving superior catalytic performance. This work is not only the first to develop radiation-resistant thorium cluster catalysts to perform efficient redox reactions but also provides design ideas for the construction of high-nuclearity thorium clusters under mild conditions.

Abstract
The conceptual framework presented in this Perspective overviews the design principles of innovative thorium-based materials that could address urgent needs of the medicinal, nuclear energy, and waste remediation sectors from the lens of zirconium and uranium analogs. We survey the intersections of Zr, Th, and U chemistry with a focus on how the intrinsic behavior of each metal translates to broader material properties, including, but not limited to, structural and topological diversity, preferential metal-ligand binding, and reactivity. On the example of several classes of materials, including organometallic complexes, polyoxometalates, and the primary focus of this Perspective, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the design principles that govern the preparation of Zr-, Th-, and U-compounds, including oxophilicity, variation in oxidation states, and stable coordination environments have been considered. Further, we highlight how the impact of the mentioned variables may shift throughout the progression from discrete molecular systems to extended structures. We discuss the common assumption that zirconium-organic materials are typically considered a close analog of thorium-based congeners in areas such as material design and preparation. Through consideration of fundamental chemistry principles, we shed light on the relationships between Zr-, Th-, and U-based materials and highlight how a critical analysis of their distinct properties can be used to target a desired material performance. As a result, we provide a detailed understanding of Th-based materials chemistry by anchoring their fundamental properties between two well-studied reference points, zirconium- and uranium-containing analogs.

Abstract
To develop nuclear energy sustainably, it is important to effectively capture radioiodine in nuclear waste. In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) calculations to investigate how well the uranyl-organic framework (UOF) could capture radioiodine. We found that the uranyl center and C-N ring sites in both cluster and periodic UOF models are very attractive to the I2 molecule. The adsorption energies of the I2 molecule in the periodic UOF models are as high as -1.10 eV, which is much higher than in the cluster model. The interaction characteristics between the I2 molecule and the UOF were revealed by electronic density topological analyses. Our AIMD simulations at 300 and 600 K have confirmed that the UOF has high adsorption kinetics for I2 molecules and can effectively capture them. The UOF has a high adsorption capacity and good adsorption stability for the I2 molecule, making it a promising option for the environmentally friendly removal of radioiodine.

Abstract
The inherent inertness and striking physicochemical similarities of krypton and xenon pose significant challenges to their separation. Reported herein is the efficient xenon capture and xenon/krypton adsorptive separation by transition metal-free zeolites under ambient conditions. The polarized environment of zeolite, denoted as local polarity, can be tuned by changing the topology, framework composition, and counter-cations, which in turn correlates with the guest-host interaction and separation performance. Chabazite zeolite with a framework Si/Al ratio of 2.5 and Ca2+ as the counter-cations, namely, Ca-CHA-2.5, is developed as a state-of-the-art zeolite adsorbent, showing remarkable performance, i.e., high dynamic xenon uptake, high xenon/krypton separation selectivity, and good recyclability, in the adsorptive separation of the xenon/krypton mixture. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulation reveals that extraframework Ca2+ cations act as the primary binding sites for xenon and can stabilize xenon molecules together with the chabazite framework, whereas krypton molecules are stabilized by weak guest-host interaction with the zeolite framework.

Abstract
Adsorption separation of the Xe/Kr mixture remains a tough issue since Xe and Kr have an inert nature and similar sizes. Here we present a chlorinated metal-organic framework (MOF) [JXNU-19(Cl)] and its nonchlorinated analogue (JXNU-19) for Xe/Kr separation. The two isostructural MOFs constructed from the heptanuclear cobalt-hydroxyl clusters bridged by organic ligands are three-dimensional structures. Detailed contrast of the Xe/Kr adsorption separation properties of the MOF shows that significantly enhanced Xe uptakes and Xe/Kr adsorption selectivity (17.1) are observed for JXNU-19 as compared to JXNU-19(Cl). The main binding sites for Xe in the MOF revealed by computational simulations are far away from the chlorine sites, suggesting that the introduction of the chlorine groups results in the unfavorable Xe adsorption for JXNU-19(Cl). The optimal pores, high surface area, and multiple strong Xe-framework interactions facilitate the effective Xe/Kr separation for JXNU-19.

Abstract
Structural exploration and functional application of thorium clusters are still very rare on account of their difficult synthesis caused by the susceptible hydrolysis of thorium element. In this work, we elaborately designed and constructed four stable thorium clusters modified with different functionalized capping ligands, Th6-MA, Th6-BEN, Th6-C8A, and Th6-Fcc, which possessed nearly the same hexanuclear thorium-oxo core but different capabilities in light absorption and charge separation. Consequently, for the first time, these new thorium clusters were treated as model catalysts to systematically investigate the light-induced oxidative coupling reaction of benzylamine and thermodriven oxidation of aniline, achieving >90% product selectivity and approximately 100% conversion, respectively. Concurrently, we found that thorium clusters modified by switchable functional ligands can effectively modulate the selectivity and conversion of catalytic reaction products. Moreover, catalytic characterization and density functional theory calculations consistently indicated that these thorium clusters can activate O2/H2O2 to generate active intermediates O2·-/HOO· and then improved the conversion of amines efficiently. Significantly, this work represents the first report of stable thorium clusters applied to photo/thermotriggered catalytic reactions and puts forward a new design avenue for the construction of more efficient thorium cluster catalysts.

Abstract
Abstract
In the past decade, the area of solid state chemistry of actinides has witnessed a rapid development in China, based on the significantly increased proportion of the number of actinide containing crystal structures reported by Chinese researchers from only 2% in 2010 to 36% in 2021. In this review article, we comprehensively overview the synthesis, structure, and characterizations of representative actinide solid compounds including oxo-compounds, organometallic compounds, and endohedral metallofullerenes reported by Chinese researchers. In addition, Chinese researchers pioneered several potential applications of actinide solid compounds in terms of adsorption, separation, photoelectric materials, and photo-catalysis, which are also briefly discussed. It is our hope that this contribution not only calls for further development of this area in China, but also arouses new research directions and interests in actinide chemistry and material sciences.

Abstract
Efficient xenon/krypton (Xe/Kr) separation has played an important role in industry due to the wide application of high-purity Xe and with regard to the safe disposal of radioactive noble gases (85Kr and 133Xe). A less energy-demanding separation technology, adsorptive separation using porous solid materials, has been proposed to replace the traditional cryogenic distillation with intensive energy consumption. As a cutting-edge class of porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring permanent porosity, designable chemical functionalities, and tunable pore sizes hold great promise for Xe/Kr separation. Here, we report a two-dimensional (2D) lanthanide-organic framework (termed LPC-MOF, [Eu(Ccbp)(NO3)(HCOO)]·DMF0.3(H2O)2.5) with one-dimensional (1D) local positively charged rhomboid channels whose size matches well with the kinetic diameter of Xe, leading to its superior Xe/Kr separation performance. Column breakthrough experiments demonstrate that LPC-MOF exhibits a high Xe/Kr selectivity of 12.4 and an Xe adsorption amount of 3.39 mmol kg-1 under simulated conditions for real used nuclear fuel (UNF)-reprocessing plants. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate not only the intrinsic mechanisms of Xe/Kr separation at the molecular level but also the detailed influence of the local positive charge (N+) on the performance of Xe/Kr separation in the MOF system.

Abstract
This perspective highlights the recent advances in the structural and practical aspects of thorium-based metal-organic frameworks (Th-MOFs) and molecular clusters. Thorium, as an underexplored actinide, features surprisingly rich coordination geometries and accessibility of the 5f orbital. These features lead to a myriad of topologies and electronic structures, many of which are undocumented for other tetravalent metal-containing MOFs or clusters. Moreover, Th-MOFs inherit the modularity, structural tunability, porosity, and versatile functionality of the state-of-the-art MOFs. Recognizing the radioactive nature of these thorium-bearing materials that may limit their practical uses, Th-MOFs and Th-clusters still have great potential for various applications, including radionuclide sequestration, hydrocarbon storage/separation, radiation detection, photoswitch, CO2 conversion, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis. The objective of this updated perspective is to propose pathways for the renaissance of interest in thorium-based materials.

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
The generation of high-purity thorium is the precondition for next-generation nuclear energy; however, this remains a challenging task. To this end, we present herein an ultrasimple technique with the combination of crystallization plus phase transformation. Crystallization into ECUT-68 is found to show almost 100% selective uptake of Th(IV) over rare earth and UO22+ ions, while multistep phase transformation from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to inorganic compounds is found to directly generate inorganic Th(IV) compound and then Th(IV) solution, suggesting its superior application in the generation of high-purity thorium.

Abstract
Xe/Kr separation is industrially important but remains a daunting issue in chemical separations. Herein, a fluorinated metal-organic framework (MOF), [Ni2(μ2-O)(TFBPDC)(tpt)2]n (named JXNU-13-F), built from 3,3',5,5'-tetrakis(fluoro)biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic (TFBPDC2-) and 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridinyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) ligands is provided. JXNU-13-F displays a three-dimensional (3D) framework constructed from distorted octahedral cages and an impressive Xe capacity of 144 cm3 g-1 at 273 K and 1 bar, ranking among top MOFs. The high Xe uptake and moderate Xe/Kr adsorption selectivity endow JXNU-13-F with efficient Xe/Kr separation demonstrated by experimental column breakthrough tests. The comparative studies of gas adsorption between isostructural JXNU-13-F and JXNU-13 (the nonfluorinated analogue ([Ni2(μ2-O)(BPDC))(tpt)2]n with biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic (BPDC2-)) revealed that the F groups serve as the innocent groups during the Xe and Kr adsorption in JXNU-13-F. Thus, a combination of highly hydrophobic and π-electron-rich pore surfaces made of aromatic rings with strong interactions with the Xe atom possessing large polarizability and appropriate pore sizes that match well Xe having a large atom diameter has resulted in high Xe uptake and effective Xe/Kr separation characteristics of JXNU-13-F.

Abstract
Solar-initiated CO2 reduction is significant for green energy development. Herein, we have prepared a new mesoporous/microporous porphyrin metal-organic framework (MOF), IHEP-20, loaded with polymetallic oxygen clusters (POMs) to form a composite material POMs@IHEP-20 for visible-light-driven photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The as-made composite material exhibits good stability in water from pH 0 to 11. After POMs were introduced to IHEP-20, they showed superior activity toward photocatalytic CO2 reduction with a CO production rate of 970 μmol·g-1·h-1, which is 3.27 times higher than that of pristine IHEP-20. This study opens a new door for the design and synthesis of high-performance catalysts for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2.

Abstract
The discovery of high-performance adsorbents for highly efficient separation of xenon from krypton is an important but challenging task in the chemical industry due to their similar size and inert spherical nature. Herein, we report two robust and radiation-resistant Hofmann-type MOFs, Co(pyz)[Ni(CN)4] and Co(pyz)[Pd(CN)4] (termed as ZJU-74a-Ni and ZJU-74a-Pd), featuring oppositely adjacent open metal sites and perfect pore sizes (4.1 and 3.8 Å) comparable to the kinetic diameter of xenon (4.047 Å), affording the benchmark binding affinity for polarizable Xe gas. These materials thus exhibit both record-high Xe uptake capacities (89.3 and 98.4 cm3 cm-3 at 296 K and 0.2 bar) and Xe/Kr selectivities (74.1 and 103.4) at ambient conditions, all of which are the highest among all the state-of-the-art materials reported so far. The locations of Xe molecules within ZJU-74a-Ni have been visualized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, in which two oppositely adjacent metal centers combined with the right aperture size can construct a unique sandwich-like binding site to offer unprecedented and ultrastrong Ni2+-Xe-Ni2+ interactions with xenon, thus leading to the record Xe capture capacity and selectivity. The excellent separation capacity of ZJU-74a-Pd was verified by breakthrough experiments for Xe/Kr gas mixtures, providing both unprecedentedly high xenon uptake capacity (4.63 mmol cm-3) and krypton productivity (214 cm3 g-1).

Abstract
The propensity of uranyl for hydrolysis in aqueous environments prevents precise control of uranyl species in the scenarios of on-demand separation and tailored synthesis. Herein, using cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) as the macrocyclic molecule and 4,4'-bipyridine-N,N'-dioxide (DPO) as the string molecule, we propose a new kind of multidentate pseudorotaxane ligand, DPO@CB[7] for capturing uranyl species at different pH's. With the aprotic nature of DPO for metal coordination, the coordination ability of the DPO@CB[7] ligand is less affected by pH and can work in a wide range of pH's. Furthermore, by adaptive uranyl coordination, this aprotic pseudorotaxane ligand achieves effective recognition for different uranyl species ranging from monomeric to tetrameric originating from hydrolysis at varying pH's, and four novel uranyl-rotaxane compounds (URC1-4) are successfully obtained. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the DPO@CB[7] ligand coordinates with uranyl centers from monomeric to tetrameric in four different modes, as a result of structural flexibility of the DPO@CB[7] pseudorotaxane ligand. A detailed discussion for conformation flexibility of the DPO@CB[7] ligand has been conducted on the position changes of the DPO ligand trapped in the CB[7], which thus reveals good adaptivity of DPO@CB[7] that is noncovalently bonded as a supramolecular motif. In addition, characterization of the physicochemical properties of URC1 and URC2 with high phase purity, including powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and luminescence properties, are also provided. This work provides a good case of an adaptive pseudorotaxane ligand for the recognition and capture of different uranyl species and will bring valuable hints to the design of multifunctional supramolecular ligands for actinide separation in the future.

Abstract
Lanthanide-uranyl phosphonates possess intriguing crystal structures and huge application prospects, but the construction of these materials remains challenging. In this work, we demonstrate that new uranyl and lanthanide-uranyl sulfonylphosphonates with elegant crystal structures and photophysical properties can be assembled hydrothermally by employing the heterofunctional diethyl phosphonate (diethyl ((phenylsulfonyl)methyl)phosphonate, Et2L) as a precursor ligand, which provides an effective strategy for the construction of lanthanide-uranyl phosphonates.

Abstract
Single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation of metal-organic frameworks has been met with great interest, as it allows for the creation of new materials in a stepwise manner and direct visualization of structural transitions when subjected to external stimuli. However, it remains a peculiarity among numerous metal-organic frameworks, particularly for the ones constructed from tetravalent metal cations. Herein, we present a cationic thorium-organic framework displaying unprecedented triple single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations in organic solvents, water, and NaIO3 solution. Notably, both the interpenetration conversion and topological change driven by the SC-SC transformation have remained elusive for thorium-organic frameworks. Moreover, the single-crystal-to-single-crystal transition in NaIO3 solution can efficiently and selectively turn the ligand-based emission off, leading to the lowest limit of detection (0.107 μg kg-1) of iodate, one of the primary species of long-lived fission product 129I in aqueous medium, among all luminescent sensors.

Abstract
Polymorphism control of metal-organic frameworks is highly desired for elucidating structure-property relationships, but remains an empirical process and is usually done in a trial-and-error approach. We adopted the rarely used actinide cation Th4+ and a ditopic linker to construct a series of thorium-organic frameworks (TOFs) with a range of polymorphs. The extraordinary coordination versatility of Th4+ cations and clusters, coupled with synthetic modulation, gives five distinct phases, wherein the highest degree of interpenetration (threefold) and porosity (75.9 %) of TOFs have been achieved. Notably, the O atom on the capping site of the nine-coordinated Th4+ cation can function as a bridging unit to interconnect neighboring secondary building units (SBUs), affording topologies that are undocumented for other tetravalent-metal-containing MOFs. Furthermore, for the first time HCOOH has been demonstrated as a bridging unit of SBUs to further induce structural complexity. The resulting TOFs exhibit considerably different adsorption behaviors toward organic dyes, thus suggesting that TOFs represent an exceptional and promising platform for structure-property relationship study.

Abstract
The interlayer regulation of layered environmental adsorption materials such as two-dimensional early transition metal carbides and carbonitrides (MXenes) plays an important role in their purification performance for specific pollutants. Here the enhanced uptake of ThIV by multilayered titanium carbides (Ti3C2Tx) through a hydrated intercalation strategy is reported. ThIV adsorption behaviors of three Ti3C2Tx samples with different c lattice parameters were studied as a function of contact time, pH, initial concentration, temperature and ion strength in batch experiments. The results indicated that the ThIV uptake was pH and ionic strength dependent, and the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the heterogeneous isotherm (Freundlich) model. Thermodynamic data suggested that the adsorption process of all MXene samples was a spontaneous endothermic reaction. The dimethyl sulfoxide intercalated hydrated Ti3C2Tx featured the largest interlayer space and exhibited the highest ThIV adsorption capacity (162 mg g-1 at pH 3.4 or 112 mg g-1 at pH 3.0), reflecting the significant increase in available adsorption sites from Ti3C2Tx interlayers. The adsorption mechanism has been clarified based on adsorption experiments and spectroscopic characterizations. An ion exchange process was proposed for the interaction between hydrated MXenes and ThIV, where H+ from surface [Ti-O]-H+ groups were the primary active sites on Ti3C2Tx. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) fitting results, in combination with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses, clearly indicated that ThIV mainly formed the outer-sphere complexes on Ti3C2Tx surface through electrostatic interaction under strong acid conditions, while at pH > 3.0 the adsorption mechanism was determined by inner-sphere coordination and electrostatic interaction together.

Abstract
Efficient separation of hazardous radionuclides from radioactive waste remains a challenge to the global acceptance of nuclear power due to complex nature of the waste, high radiotoxicities and presence of large number of interfering elements. Sorption of radioactive elements from liquid phase, gas phase or their solid particulates on various synthetic organic, inorganic or biological sorbents is looked as one of the options for their remediation. In this context, highly porous materials, termed as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have shown promise for efficient capturing of various types of radioactive elements. Major advantages that have been advocated for the application of MOFs in radionuclide sorption are their excellent chemical stability, and their large surface area due to abundant functional groups, and porosity. In this review, recent developments on the application of MOFs for radionuclide sequestration are briefly discussed. Focus has been devoted to address the separation of few crucial radioactive elements such as Th, U, Tc, Re, Se, Sr and Cs from aqueous solutions, which are important for liquid radioactive waste management. Apart from these radioactive metal ions, removal of radionuclide bearing gases such as I2, Xe, and Kr are also discussed. Aspects related to the interaction of MOFs with the radionuclides are also discussed. Finally, a perspective for comprehensive investigation of MOFs for their applications in radioactive waste management has been outlined.

Abstract
Herein we present a new metalloligand, Th6L12 [IHEP-10; L = 4-pyrazolecarboxylic acid (H2PyC)], which can be used to generate a novel multicomponent heterometallic metal-organic framework (MOF), [[Cu3(μ3-OH)(NO3)(H2O)2]2Th6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(PyC)6(HPyC)6(H2O)6](NO3)2 (IHEP-11), through further assembly with second [Cu3(μ3-OH)(PyC)3] clusters. In IHEP-11, six Cu3 clusters are connected by six NO3- anions to form an unprecedented annular Cu18 cluster, which can be viewed as a 12-connected node to link with 12 Th6 clusters, resulting a 4,12-connected shp net. Benefiting from the cationic framework and 3D porous structure, IHEP-11 can efficiently remove ReO4- (an analogue of radioactive 99TcO4-) from aqueous solution in a wide pH range. This work highlights the feasibility of constructing multicomponent MOFs through a step-by-step synthesis strategy based on metalloligands.

Abstract
Actinide-based metal-organic complexes and coordination architectures encompass intriguing properties and functionalities but are still largely unexplored on surfaces. We introduce the in situ synthesis of actinide tetrapyrrole complexes under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions, on both a metallic support and a 2D material. Specifically, exposure of a tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) multilayer to an elemental beam of thorium followed by a temperature-programmed reaction and desorption of surplus molecules yields bis(porphyrinato)thorium (Th(TPP)2) assemblies on Ag(111) and hexagonal boron nitride/Cu(111). A multimethod characterization including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, temperature-programmed desorption, and complementary density functional theory modeling provides insights into conformational and electronic properties. Supramolecular assemblies of Th(TPP)2 as well as individual double-deckers are addressed with submolecular precision, e.g., demonstrating the reversible rotation of the top porphyrin in Th(TPP)2 by molecular manipulation. Our findings thus demonstrate prospects for actinide-based functional nanoarchitectures.

Abstract
The collection of high-purity noble gases with recyclable nuclides provides substantial economic benefits and minimizes the risk of environmental pollution, which is a future development tendency for nuclear industries. Here, Ce-SINAP-1, with its radiation-resistance (up to 20 kGy of γ-ray irradiation) and suitable pore channels for the separation of noble gases (Ar, Kr and Xe), was synthesized. Ce-SINAP-1 exhibited the selective adsorption of Xe (2.02 mmol g−1) over Kr (0.67 mmol g−1) and Ar (0.27 mmol g−1) at 293 K (1 bar) with a Henry's selectivity of 8.24 (Xe/Kr), and an ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity of 14.9 (Xe : Kr 20 : 80). The result of the dynamic breakthrough experiment also indicates a good separation for Xe/Kr with Ar. A high selectivity of Xe over Kr at 293 K was achieved by a 3D Ce-based organic framework due to the geometric features. Favorable thermal stability and ionizing radio-resistance render it a promising candidate for radioactive inert gases treatment.![]()

Abstract
By first applying a thorium-organic framework (Th-SINAP-2) as a radiation attenuator and by incorporating a terpyridine derivative (Htpbz) as a photo-responsive guest, selective photochromism in response to X-rays was achieved in the host-guest assembly of Htpbz@Th-SINAP-2. Such a combination endows the afforded material with the lowest detection limit of X-ray dose among all photochromic sensors and a brand-new function of X-ray dosimetry for thorium containing materials.

Abstract
In the present work, we proposed regulating uranyl coordination behavior of cucurbituril-bipyridinium pseudorotaxane ligand by utilizing meta-functionalized bipyridinium dicarboxylate guest. A tailored pseudorotaxane precursor involving 1,1'-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(3-cyanopyridin-1-ium) bromide (C6BPCN3) and cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) has designed and synthesized. Through in situ hydrolysis of the pseudorotaxane ligands and their coordination assembly with uranyl cations, seven new uranyl-rotaxane coordination polymers URCP1-URCP7 have been obtained under hydrothermal conditions in the presence of different anions. It is demonstrated that the variation of carboxylate groups from para- to meta-position greatly affected the coordination behaviors of the meta-functionalized pseudorotaxane linkers, which are enriched from simple guest-only binding to host-guest simultaneous coordination and synergistic chelating. This effective regulation on uranyl coordination of supramolecular pseudorotaxane can be attributed to the proximity effect, which refers to the meta-position carboxyl group being spatially closer to the portal carbonyl group of CB[6]. Moreover, by combining other regulation methods such as introducing competing counterions and modulating solution acidity, the nuclearity of the uranyl center and the coordination patterns of the pseudorotaxane ligand can be diversely tuned, which subsequently exert great influence on the final dimensionality of resultant uranyl compounds. This work presents a large diversity of uranyl-based coordination polyrotaxane compounds with fascinating mechanically interlocked components and, most importantly, provides a feasible approach to adjust and control the metal coordination behavior of the pseudorotaxane ligand that might expand the scope of application of such supramolecular ligands.

Abstract
A combined technique of production and storage of ammonia (NH3) from electroreduction of nitrate (NO3 -) through one material is highly desirable but remains a huge challenge. Herein, we proposed a proof-of-concept strategy for combined NH3 production and storage from electroreduction of NO3 - through elaborately designing a single-site CuII-bipyridine-based thorium metal-organic framework (Cu@Th-BPYDC). Noticeably, the single CuII site, anchored by a solid-liquid postsynthetic metalation within Th-BPYDC, shows a novel square coordination structure, as determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This strongly implies its enormous potential as an open metal site and consequently enables excellent performance in electroreduction of NO3 - for NH3 production, giving 92.5% Faradaic efficiency and 225.3 μmol h-1 cm-2 yield. Impressively, we can further use Cu@Th-BPYDC material to effectively capture the previously produced NH3 from electroreduction of NO3 -, affording an uptake up to 20.55 mmol g-1 at 298 K at 1 bar. The results in this work will outline a new direction toward the combined technique for advanced electrocatalysis such as gas production plus storage/or separation.

Abstract
Direct separation of Xe and Kr from air or used nuclear fuel (UNF) off-gas by means of porous adsorbents is of industrial importance but is a very challenging task. In this work, we show a robust metal-organic framework (MOF), namely ECUT-60, which renders not only high chemical stability, but also unique structure with multiple traps. This leads to the ultrahigh Xe adsorption capacity, exceeding most reported porous materials. Impressively, this MOF also enables high selectivity of Xe over Kr, CO2, O2, and N2, leading to the high-performance separation for trace quantitites of Xe/Kr from a simulated UNF reprocessing off-gas. The separation capability has been demonstrated by using dynamic breakthrough experiments, giving the record Xe uptake up to 70.4 mmol/kg and the production of 19.7 mmol/kg pure Xe. Consequently, ECUT-60 has promising potential in direct production of Xe from UNF off-gas or air. The separation mechanism, as unveiled by theoretical calculation, is attributed to the multiple traps in ECUT-60 that affords rigid restrict for Xe atom via van der Waals force.

Abstract
Metal trimers [M3 (O/OH)](OOCR)6 are among the most important structural building blocks. From these trimers, a great success has been achieved in the design of 6- or 9-connected framework materials with various topological features and outstanding gas-sorption properties. In comparison, 8-connected trimer-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are rare. Given multiple competitive pathways for the formation of 6- or 9-connected frameworks, it remains challenging to identify synthetic or structural parameters that can be used to direct the self-assembly process toward trimer-based 8-connected materials. Here, a viable strategy called angle bending modulation is revealed for creating a prototypical MOF type based on 8-connected M3 (OH)(OOCR)5 (Py-R)3 trimers (M = Zn, Co, Fe). As a proof of concept, six members in this family are synthesized using three types of ligands (CPM-80, -81, and -82). These materials do not possess open-metal sites and show excellent uptake capacity for various hydrocarbon gas molecules and inverse C2 H6 /C2 H4 selectivity. CPM-81-Co, made from 2,5-furandicarboxylate and isonicotinate, features selectivity of 1.80 with high uptake capacity for ethane (123 cm3 g-1 ) and ethylene (113 cm3 g-1 ) at 298 K and 1 bar.

Abstract
In this perspective, we feature recent advances in the field of actinide-containing metal-organic frameworks (An-MOFs) with a main focus on their electronic, catalytic, photophysical, and sorption properties. This discussion deviates from a strictly crystallographic analysis of An-MOFs, reported in several reviews, or synthesis of novel structural motifs, and instead delves into the remarkable potential of An-MOFs for evolving the nuclear waste administration sector. Currently, the An-MOF field is dominated by thorium- and uranium-containing structures, with only a few reports on transuranic frameworks. However, some of the reported properties in the field of An-MOFs foreshadow potential implementation of these materials and are the main focus of this report. Thus, this perspective intends to provide a glimpse into the challenges, triumphs, and future directions of An-MOFs in sectors ranging from the traditional realm of gas sorption and separation to recently emerging areas such as electronics and photophysics.

Abstract
Capture and storage of the long‐lived 85Kr is an efficient approach to mitigate the emission of volatile radionuclides from the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities. However, it is challenging to separate krypton (Kr) from xenon (Xe) because of the chemical inertness and similar physical properties. Herein we prepared high‐silica CHA zeolite membranes with ultra‐high selectivity and irradiation stability for Kr/Xe separation. The suitable aperture size and rigid framework endures the membrane a strong size‐exclusion effect. The ultrahigh selectivity of 51–152 together with the Kr permeance of 0.7–1.3×10−8 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1 of high‐silica CHA zeolite membranes far surpass the state‐of‐the‐art polymeric membranes. The membrane is among the most stable polycrystalline membranes for separation of humid Kr/Xe mixtures. Together with the excellent irradiation stability, high‐silica CHA zeolite membranes pave the way to separate radioactive Kr from Xe for a notable reduction of the volatile nuclear waste storage volume.

Abstract
The rational design and synthesis of metal-organic frameworks with well-controlled interpenetration have been active research areas of inquiry, particularly for porosity-related applications. Herein, we extend the use of the ligand steric modulation strategy to initiate the first study of the interpenetration control of thorium-based MOFs. The approximate "hardness" of the Th4+ cation, which was conjugated with aromatic substitutions and delicately modified synthetic conditions, allows for the crystallization of single crystals of seven new Th-MOFs with five distinct topologies. Solvothermal reactions of Th(NO3)4 with the triphenyl H2TPDC ligand under variable conditions exclusively gave rise to an interpenetrated Th-MOF with a hex topology, namely Th-SINAP-16. Modifications of the ligand sterics with two pendant methyl groups to 2',5'-Me2TPDC2- and 2,2″-Me2TPDC2- afforded two noninterpenetrated UiO-68-type Th-MOFs (Th-SINAP-17 and Th-SINAP-20, respectively) with record-high pore volumes (74.8% and 75.3%, respectively) among all the thorium MOFs. Moreover, another four Th-MOFs Th-SINAP-n (n = 18, 19, 21, and 22) with three different topologies were obtained by a simple synthetic modulation. Notably, Th-SINAP-16 and Th-SINAP-21 represent the second rare examples of interpenetrated Th-MOFs reported to date. These findings revealed the unprecedented structural complexity and synthetic accessibility of Th-MOFs among all tetravalent metal containing MOFs. Such features make Th-MOFs as an ideal platform to elucidate the structure-property relationship for various applications, e.g. iodine adsorption.

Abstract
A series of ionic uranyl-containing complexes, namely [C2mim]2[UO2(ccnm)4] (1), [C4mim]2[UO2(ccnm)4] (2), [N1111]2[UO2(ccnm)4][H2O]2 (3), and [P2444]2[UO2(dcnm)2(ccnm)2] (4) [(ccnm)- = carbamoylcyanonitrosomethanide; dcnm = dicyanonitrosomethanide; (C2mim)+ = 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium; (C4mim)+ = 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium; (N1111)+ = tetramethylammonium; (P2444)+ = tributyl(ethyl)phosphonium)], were isolated from in situ formed dcnm-based ionic liquids and characterized systematically. It was found that the dcnm anions transformed into ccnm anions during the reactions. These anions coordinate with the uranyl cations in chelate or terminal monodentate coordination mode, affording negative divalent complex anions which can combine with different organic cations and form ionic uranyl-containing complexes. Plenty of C-H···O, N-H···O, C-H···N, N-H···N, and H···H weak interactions are formed in the crystal structures. The transformation of cyano to amide groups contributes to the crystallinity and leads to higher melting points as well as the luminescence quenching of these compounds.

Abstract
Krypton (Kr) and xenon (Xe) are nowadays widely applied in technical and industrial fields. Separating and collecting highly pure Xe from nuclear facilities are necessary and urgent. However, the technology is limited due to the inert nature of Xe and other interferential factors. In this work, a calcium-based metal-organic framework, Ca-SINAP-1, which comprises a three-dimensional microporous framework with a suitable pore width, was researched for xenon and krypton separation through both experimental and theoretical methods. Ca-SINAP-1, synthesized in solvothermal and gamma ray conditions, features accessible open-metal sites, exhibits a high Xe/Kr selectivity of 10.32, and owns a Xe adsorption capacity of 2.87 mmol/g at room temperature (1.0 bar). Particularly, its excellent chemical stability (from pH 2 to 13) and thermal stability (up to 550 °C), as well as radiation-resistance (up to 400 kGy β irradiations), render this material a promising candidate for radioactive inert gases treatment.

Abstract
Herein, we report a new metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, ECUT-77, which is built on rod-shaped secondary building units, showing a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 760.3 cm2/g, a pore volume of 0.4 cm3/g, and an aperture of about 1 nm. This MOF enables both high SO2 adsorption capacity up to 8.0 mmol/g at 0.92 bar and room temperature and a high SO2/CO2 selectivity of 44, resulting in excellent SO2 separation upon a ECUT-77 column from a SO2/CO2 mixture containing 2000 ppm of SO2.

Abstract
The mixed-ligand strategy is one of the important methods for preparing new materials and regulating the properties of materials. In this work, by introducing different auxiliary ligands (ALs), we have obtained a series of mixed-ligand uranyl complexes (1-6) from a flexible biphenyltetracarboxylic acid (H4bptc) with an adjustable orthogonal conformation and studied the influence of different organic base molecules on the coordination and assembly of H4bptc with a uranyl cation. It is found that the coordinated ALs, including 4,4'-bipyridine-1,1'-dioxide and 1,10-phenanthroline, partially occupy the coordination sites of the uranyl center and directly affect the molecular conformations and uranyl coordination of flexible bptc linkers. On the other hand, noncoordinated ALs such as protonated 4,4'-bipyridine ([H2(4,4'-bpy)]2+) or dimethylammonium, which work as counterions in the form of encapsulated guests or hydrogen-bonded templates, also have a nonnegligible impact on the conformation and coordination of bptc linkers. Most interestingly, the AL-mediated evolution of uranyl coordination by the bptc linker and coordination geometry of the uranyl center is clearly observed, which suggests the adaptability of flexible bptc linkers to take suitable molecular configurations and uranyl coordination modes so as to adapt to the external regulator agents and varying environment. The physicochemical characterization of these uranyl compounds, especially photoluminescence, is addressed and discussed, and the results reveal that compound 5 has the potential to serve as a multifunctional radiation detection material for UV light and X-ray radiation.
