Abstract
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have brought great threats to human life and social stability, and it is critical to investigate protective materials. MOF (metal-organic framework) gels are a class with an extended MOF architecture that are mainly formed using metal-ligand coordination as an effective force to drive gelation, and these gels combine the unique characteristics of MOFs and organic gel materials. They have the advantages of a hierarchically porous structure, a large specific surface area, machinable block structures and rich metal active sites, which inherently meet the requirements for adsorption and catalytic detoxification of CWAs. A series of advances have been made in the adsorption and catalytic detoxification of MOF gels as chemical warfare agents; however, overall, they are still in their infancy. This review briefly introduces the latest advances in MOF gels, including pure MOF gels and MOF composite gels, and discusses the application of MOF gels in the adsorption and catalytic detoxification of CWAs. Meanwhile, the influence of microstructures (pore structures, metal active site, etc.) on the detoxification performance of protective materials is also discussed, which is of great significance in the exploration of high-efficiency protective materials. Finally, the review looks ahead to next priorities. Hopefully, this review can inspire more and more researchers to enrich the performance of MOF gels for applications in chemical protection and other purification and detoxification processes.

Abstract
A robust porous organic polymer cross-linked by Sn(iv) porphyrin (SnPOP) was fabricated by reacting trans-dihydroxo-[5,15,10,20-tetrakis(phenyl)porphyrinato]tin(iv) (SnP) with fluorinated polyimide (FPI) via sol-gel formation, followed by supercritical CO2 drying. The structural and porous properties of SnPOP were characterized using FT-IR, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopies, along with field-emission scanning electron microscopy and gas sorption experiments. The reaction between the SnP's oxophilic Sn(iv) center and FPI's carboxylic acid moiety resulted in a controllable cross-linked porous texture. This material features the desirable physical properties of porphyrin and exhibits mesoporous structures with a relatively high surface area. SnPOP is thermally stable at temperatures up to 600 °C and highly resistant to boiling water, strong acids, and bases, owing to its assembly via formation of covalent bonds instead of typically weaker hydrogen bonds. The modified chemical and morphological structures of SnPOP showed an impressive CO2 uptake capacity of 58.48 mg g-1 at 273 K, with a preference for CO2 over N2. SnPOP showed significant efficiency in removing pollutant dyes, such as methylene blue and methyl orange, from dye-contaminated water. Additionally, SnPOP was a photocatalyst for fabricating silver nanoparticles of regular shape and size. All these properties make SnPOP a potential candidate for environmental applications like pollutant removal, gas storage, and separation.

A shear-thinning, ROS-scavenging hydrogel combined with dental pulp stem cells promotes spinal cord repair by inhibiting ferroptosis. Bioact Mater 2022; 22:274-290.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious clinical disease. Due to the deformability and fragility of the spinal cord, overly rigid hydrogels cannot be used to treat SCI. Hence, we used TPA and Laponite to develop a hydrogel with shear-thinning ability. This hydrogel exhibits good deformation, allowing it to match the physical properties of the spinal cord; additionally, this hydrogel scavenges ROS well, allowing it to inhibit the lipid peroxidation caused by ferroptosis. According to the in vivo studies, the TPA@Laponite hydrogel could synergistically inhibit ferroptosis by improving vascular function and regulating iron metabolism. In addition, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were introduced into the TPA@Laponite hydrogel to regulate the ratios of excitatory and inhibitory synapses. It was shown that this combination biomaterial effectively reduced muscle spasms and promoted recovery from SCI.

Amino-Functionalized Titanium Based Metal-Organic Framework for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27134241. [PMID: 35807486 PMCID: PMC9268624 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27134241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen production using stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), especially the titanium-based MOFs (Ti-MOFs) as photocatalysts is one of the most promising solutions to solve the energy crisis. However, due to the high reactivity and harsh synthetic conditions, only a limited number of Ti-MOFs have been reported so far. Herein, we synthesized a new amino-functionalized Ti-MOFs, named NH2-ZSTU-2 (ZSTU stands for Zhejiang Sci-Tech University), for photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible light irradiation. The NH2-ZSTU-2 was synthesized by a facile solvothermal method, composed of 2,4,6-tri(4-carboxyphenylphenyl)-aniline (NH2-BTB) triangular linker and infinite Ti-oxo chains. The structure and photoelectrochemical properties of NH2-ZSTU-2 were fully studied by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, nitro sorption isotherms, solid-state diffuse reflectance absorption spectra, and Mott–Schottky measurements, etc., which conclude that NH2-ZSTU-2 was favorable for photocatalytic hydrogen production. Benefitting from those structural features, NH2-ZSTU-2 showed steady hydrogen production rate under visible light irradiation with average photocatalytic H2 yields of 431.45 μmol·g−1·h−1 with triethanolamine and Pt as sacrificial agent and cocatalyst, respectively, which is almost 2.5 times higher than that of its counterpart ZSTU-2. The stability and proposed photocatalysis mechanism were also discussed. This work paves the way to design Ti-MOFs for photocatalysis.

Soil Microbial Communities Altered by Titanium Ions in Different Agroecosystems of Pitaya and Grape. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0090721.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) is an element beneficial to plant growth. Application of titanium to roots or leaves at low concentrations can improve crop yield and performance. However, the effect of titanium ions on the bulk soil microbial community of planted crops remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects of titanium on soil bacterial and fungal communities. Field surveys were conducted to determine the effect of titanium ions on bulk soil microbial communities in pitaya and grape plantations of Panzhihua and Xichang areas, respectively. Full-length 16S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) amplicon sequencing were performed using PacBio Sequel to further explore the composition and structure of soil microbiota. The application of titanium ions significantly altered the composition and structure of soil microbiota. Root irrigation with titanium ions in pitaya gardens reduced the diversity of soil fungi and bacteria. However, the decline in bacterial diversity was not statistically significant. Meanwhile, foliar spray of titanium ions on grapes greatly reduced the soil microbial diversity. The bulk soil microbiota had a core of conserved taxa, and titanium ions significantly altered their relative abundances. Furthermore, the application of titanium increased the interaction network of soil fungi and bacteria compared with the control group. Thus, titanium ions potentially improve the stability of the soil microbial community. IMPORTANCE Pitaya and grape are important cash crops in the Panzhihua and Xichang areas, respectively, where they are well adapted. Titanium is a plant growth-promoting element, but the interaction between titanium and soil microorganisms is poorly understood. Titanium ions are still not widely used for growing pitaya and grape in the two regions. Thus, we investigated the effects of titanium ions on soil microbial communities of the two fruit crops in these two regions. Microbial diversity decreased, and the community structure changed; however, the addition of titanium ions enhanced cooccurrence relationships and improved the stability of the community. This study provides a basis for the importance of titanium ion application in crop cultivation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive oxidants that are typically generated by the irradiation of semiconducting materials with visible or UV light and are widely used for the photocatalytic degradation of toxic substances, photodynamic therapy, and selective organic transformations. In this context, TiO2 is considered to be among the most promising photocatalysts due to its high redox activity, structural stability, and natural abundance. In view of the extensive development of highly active photocatalysts, we herein briefly introduce TiO2 and the mechanisms of TiO2-mediated ROS generation, subsequently focusing on key advances in the design and synthesis of Ti-containing porous materials, such as porous TiO2, Ti-based metal-organic frameworks, and Ti-based metal-organic aerogels. In particular, this review highlights the significance of porosity and the structure-function relationship for the development of Ti-based photocatalysts. The structures, porosities, and ROS generation mechanisms of these materials as well as the related efficiencies of ROS-mediated photocatalytic organic transformations are discussed in detail to provide a useful reference for future researchers and to inspire the exploration of high-performance photocatalysts.

Abstract
Titanium metal-organic frameworks (Ti-MOFs), as an appealing type of artificial photocatalysts, have shown great potentials in the field of solar energy conversion due to their well-studied photo-redox activity similar to TiO 2 and good optical responsiveness of linkers serving as the antenna to absorb visible-light. Although enormous efforts have been dedicated to developing Ti-MOFs with high photocatalytic activity, their solar energy conversion performances are still poor. Herein, a covalent-integrated strategy has been implemented to construct a series of multivariate Ti-MOF/COF hybrid materials, PdTCPP⸦PCN-415(NH 2 )/TpPa (composites 1, 2, and 3), featuring excellent visible-light utilization, suitable band gap, and high surface area for photocatalytic H 2 production. Notably, the resulting composites demonstrated remarkably enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic H 2 evolution performance, especially for the composite 2 with the maximum H 2 evolution rate of 13.98 mmol g -1 h -1 (turn-over frequency (TOF) = 227 h -1 ), which is much higher than the prototypical counterparts, PdTCPP⸦PCN-415(NH 2 ) (0.21 mmol g -1 h -1 ) and TpPa (6.51 mmol g -1 h -1 ). Our work thereby suggests a new approach to develop highly efficient photocatalysts for photocatalytic H 2 evolution reaction and beyond.

Abstract
Metal-organic gels (MOGs) are attracting increasing attention for removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution and for catalysis of Si-H insertion reactions. Herein, we report that a reaction of porphyrin derivative 1 with Rh2(OAc)4 generates stable metal-organic gels and subsequent subcritical carbon dioxide drying affords metal-organic aerogels. Owing to their micro- and mesoporosity, the aerogels adsorbed dyes. Moreover, aerogel I catalyzed Si-H insertion reactions to give organosilicon compounds in high yields.

Abstract
Despite the numerous titanium-oxo clusters (TOCs) which have been reported, the nature of small clusters (nuclearity < 10) as model compounds showed large deviation from that of nanoscale TiO materials. Therefore, theoretical and experimental studies for large TOCs merit more attention. We recently prepared and crystallographically characterized a series of large TOCs: Ti11O15(OiPr)16(Cophen) (1), Ti11O15(OiPr)16(Mnphen) (2), Ti10O14(OEt)16(Mnphen)2 (3), and Ti10O14(OEt)16(Mnphphen)2 (4) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, phphen = 4,7-biphenyl-phen). These compounds are derivatives of a Ti12 parent cluster by replacing one or two of the five-coordinated titanium atoms of the Ti12 cluster with a transition metal M, Co(II) and Mn(II), that is chelated by a phen group. The effects of mono- and bis-substituted Mphen on the charge and structure of the clusters are discussed. Theoretical evaluation of the frontier orbitals of the clusters is carried out on the basis of the precisely defined crystal structures. Different from the dye molecule to TiO core charge transfer for the dye-modified TOCs, charge transfer in these clusters is from TiO/TiOM to phen/Mphen. The effects of different metal ions and the number of substituted Mphen moieties on the photocurrent properties are evaluated. The results will be of interest to research on cluster chemistry, especially on the TOC chemistry.

Abstract
A catalogue of metal-organic gels are synthesized from phytic acid (PA) and a diversity of metal ions (Fe3+ , Cr3+ , Al3+ , Ce3+ , Y3+ , Co2+ , Ni2+ , Mn2+ , Cu2+ , Zn2+ , Mg2+ ) upon heating at 80 °C. PA-M gels have various morphologies, including irregular granular (PA-Fe, PA-Al, PA-Ce, PA-Cr, PA-Ni, PA-Co), spongy (PA-Y), and hollow tremella-like (PA-Cu) morphologies. Interestingly for PA-Fe-1 : 4 (PA:Fe3+ =1 : 4) a large amount of gas is generated during the gelation process leading to a self-foaming gel. The PA-Fe-1 : 4 self-foaming gel shows reversible gel-sol phase transition. The gel is unusually weakened and transformed into a sol at room temperature, and the sol is reversed to gelation when heated again at 80 °C. PA-Fe-1 : 4 gel also shows shapeable and load-bearing properties, and it can bear up to 200 times of its weight, depending on the gas amount fixed in the foam gel and the aging time. This work provides a catalogue of self-foaming supramolecular gels with tunable properties based on naturally abundant resources.
