Abstract
Many unique adsorption properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been revealed by diffraction crystallography, visualizing their vacant and guest-loaded crystal structures at the molecular scale. However, it has been challenging to see the spatial distribution of the adsorption behaviors throughout a single MOF particle in a transient equilibrium state. Here, we report three-dimensional (3D) visualization of molecular adsorption behaviors in a single crystalline particle of a MOF by in situ X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy combined with computed tomography for the first time. The 3D maps of water-coordinated Co sites in a 100 μm-scale MOF-74-Co crystal were obtained with 1 μm spatial resolution under several water vapor pressures. Through the visualization of the water vapor adsorption process, 3D spectroimaging revealed the mechanism and spatial heterogeneity of guest adsorption inside a single particle of a crystalline MOF.

Abstract
Transformation of metal-organic framework (MOF) particles into thin films is urgently needed for the persistent development of well-applicable devices, and recently emerging functional-integrated hybrid frameworks. Although some flexible polymers and exclusive modification approaches have been proposed, the additive-free and widely applicable strategy has not been reported, hampering the deep investigation of the structure-performance relationship. A universal strategy for the in situ growth of large-area and continuous MOF films with controllable microstructures is introduced, through the modification of multi-scale and multi-structure substrates with poly(4-vinylpyridine) as the anchor to capture metal ions via Coulomb attraction. Based on the clarified structure-adsorption-separation mechanisms, the customized devices fabricated by in situ growth can achieve highly selective adsorption and excellently synergetic separation of various industrially relevant isomers. In addition, this strategy is also feasible for the construction of MOF-on-MOFs with varied lattice parameters. This strategy is easy to implement and will be widely applicable to the surface growth of diverse MOFs on desired substrates, and provides a new concept for developing hybrid MOFs integrating with customized functionalities.

Abstract
Quantifying adsorption behaviors is crucial for various applications such as catalysis, separation, and sensing, yet it is generally challenging to access in solution. Here, we report a combined experimental and computational study of the adsorption behaviors of alkyl-trimethylammonium bromides (xTAB), a class of ligands important for colloidal nanoparticle stabilization and shape control, with various alkyl chain lengths x on Au nanoparticles. We use density functional theory (DFT) to calculate xTAB binding energies on Au{111} and Au{110} surfaces with standing-up and lying-down configurations, which provides insights into the adsorption affinity and cooperativity differences of xTAB on these two facets. We demonstrate the key role of van der Waals interactions in determining the xTAB adsorption behavior. These computational results predict and explain the experimental discovery of xTAB's adsorption behavior switch from stronger affinity, negative cooperativity to weaker affinity, positive cooperativity when the concentration of xTAB increases in solution. We also show that in the standing-up configuration, bilayer adsorption may occur on both facets, which can lead to different differential binding energies and consequently adsorption crossover between the two facets when the ligand concentration increases. Our combined experimental and computational approaches demonstrate a paradigm for gaining molecular-scale insights into adsorbate-surface interactions.

Abstract
Photoresponsive materials enable dynamic remote control of their fundamental properties. The incorporation of photochromic molecules in nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provides a unique opportunity to tailor the material properties, including the interaction between the MOF host and guest molecules in the pores. Here, a MOF film of type HKUST-1 with embedded hexaarylbiimidazole (HABI), undergoing reversible light-induced reactions between the stable dimer state and the metastable radical state, is presented. The switching between the dimer and radical form is shown by infrared, UV-vis, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. By transient uptake experiments with ethanol and methanol as probe molecules, we show that the dimer-radical switching impacts the host-guest interaction and, in particular, modifies the uptake amount and diffusion coefficient of the guest molecules. For ethanol, the diffusion slows down by 75%. This research presents the first MOF material with photoswitchable (meta)stable dimer and radical molecules, and it contributes to the advancement of photoresponsive nanoporous materials.

Abstract
The recent development of high spatial resolution microscopy and spectroscopy tools enabled reactivity analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous (electro)catalysts at previously unattainable resolution and sensitivity. These techniques revealed that catalytic entities are more heterogeneous than expected and local variations in reaction mechanism due to divergences in the nature of active sites, such as their atomic properties, distribution, and accessibility, occur both in homogeneous and heterogeneous (electro)catalysts. In this review, we highlight recent insights in catalysis research that were attained by conducting high spatial resolution studies. The discussed case studies range from reactivity detection of single particles or single molecular catalysts, inter- and intraparticle communication analysis, and probing the influence of catalysts distribution and accessibility on the resulting reactivity. It is demonstrated that multiparticle and multisite reactivity analyses provide unique knowledge about reaction mechanism that could not have been attained by conducting ensemble-based, averaging, spectroscopy measurements. It is highlighted that the integration of spectroscopy and microscopy measurements under realistic reaction conditions will be essential to bridge the gap between model-system studies and real-world high spatial resolution reactivity analysis.

Abstract
Many catalytic processes depend on the sorption and conversion of gaseous molecules on the surface of (porous) functional materials. These events often preferentially occur on specific, undercoordinated, external surface sites. Here we show the combination of in situ Photo-induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to study the site-specific sorption and conversion of formaldehyde on the external surfaces of well-defined faceted ZIF-8 microcrystals with nanoscale resolution. We observed preferential adsorption of formaldehyde on high index planes. Moreover, in situ PiFM allowed us to visualize unsaturated nanodomains within extended external crystal planes, showing enhanced sorption behavior on the nanoscale. Additionally, on defective ZIF-8 crystals, structure sensitive conversion of formaldehyde through a methoxy- and a formate mechanism mediated by Lewis acidity was found. Strikingly, sorption and conversion were influenced more by the external surface termination than by the concentration of defects. DFT calculations showed that this is due to the presence of specific atomic arrangements on high-index crystal surfaces. With this research, we showcase the high potential of in situ PiFM for structure sensitivity studies on porous functional materials.

Abstract
Zeolites and zeolitic materials are, through their use in numerous conventional and sustainable applications, very important to our daily lives, including to foster the necessary transition to a more circular society. The characterization of zeolite-based materials has a tremendous history and a great number of applications and properties of these materials have been discovered in the past decades. This review focuses on recently developed novel as well as more conventional techniques applied with the aim of better understanding zeolite-based materials. Recently explored analytical methods, e.g. atom probe tomography, scanning transmission X-ray microscopy, confocal fluorescence microscopy and photo-induced force microscopy, are discussed on their important contributions to the better understanding of zeolites as they mainly focus on the micro- to nanoscale chemical imaging and the revelation of structure–composition–performance relationships. Some other techniques have a long and established history, e.g. nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, neutron scattering, electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques, and have gone through increasing developments allowing the techniques to discover new and important features in zeolite-based materials. Additional to the increasing application of these methods, multiple techniques are nowadays used to study zeolites under working conditions (i.e. the in situ/operando mode of analysis) providing new insights in reaction and deactivation mechanisms.

Abstract
Catalysis is at the core of chemistry and has been essential to make all the goods surrounding us, including fuels, coatings, plastics and other functional materials. In the near future, catalysis will also be an essential tool in making the shift from a fossil-fuel-based to a more renewable and circular society. To make this reality, we have to better understand the fundamental concept of the active site in catalysis. Here, we discuss the physical meaning - and deduce the validity and, therefore, usefulness - of some common approaches in heterogeneous catalysis, such as linking catalyst activity to a 'turnover frequency' and explaining catalytic performance in terms of 'structure sensitivity' or 'structure insensitivity'. Catalytic concepts from the fields of enzymatic and homogeneous catalysis are compared, ultimately realizing that the struggle that one encounters in defining the active site in most solid catalysts is likely the one we must overcome to reach our end goal: tailoring the precise functioning of the active sites with respect to many different parameters to satisfy our ever-growing needs. This article ends with an outlook of what may become feasible within the not-too-distant future with modern experimental and theoretical tools at hand.

Abstract
At present, an enormous characterization gap exists between the study of the crystal structure of a material and its bulk properties. Individual particles falling within this gap cannot be fully characterized in a correlative manner by current methods. The authors address this problem by exploiting the noninvasive nature of optical microscopy and spectroscopy for the correlative analysis of metal-organic framework particles in situ. They probe the intrinsic as well as extrinsic properties in a correlated manner. The authors show that the crystal shape of MIL-88A strongly impacts its optical absorption. Furthermore, the question of how homogeneously water is distributed and adsorbed within one of the most promising materials for harvesting water from humid air, MOF-801, is addressed. The results demonstrate the considerable importance of the particle level and how it can affect the property of the material.

Abstract
Adsorption plays vital roles in many processes including catalysis, sensing, and nanomaterials design. However, quantifying molecular adsorption, especially at the nanoscale, is challenging, hindering the exploration of its utilization on nanomaterials that possess heterogeneity across different length scales. Here we map the adsorption of nonfluorescent small molecule/ion and polymer ligands on gold nanoparticles of various morphologies in situ under ambient solution conditions, in which these ligands are critical for the particles’ physiochemical properties. We differentiate at nanometer resolution their adsorption affinities among different sites on the same nanoparticle and uncover positive/negative adsorption cooperativity, both essential for understanding adsorbate-surface interactions. Considering the surface density of adsorbed ligands, we further discover crossover behaviors of ligand adsorption between different particle facets, leading to a strategy and its implementation in facet-controlled synthesis of colloidal metal nanoparticles by merely tuning the concentration of a single ligand. Adsorption is a fundamentally important process but challenging to quantify, especially at the nanoscale. Here, the authors map the adsorption affinity and cooperativity of various ligands on single gold nanoparticles and discover adsorption crossover behaviors between different facets, leading to a strategy to control particle shape.

Abstract
Metastable Cu2O is an attractive material for the architectural design of integrated nanomaterials. In this context, Cu2O was used as the sacrificial agent to form the core-shell structure of Cu2O@HKUST-1 by in situ growth technology. The MOFs with BOPs adsorption property were gathered together by a Cu2O etching method, and the hollow structure of the HKUST-1 shell material with fast BOP adsorption was successfully constructed. The adsorption experiments showed that the HKUST-1 shell has a good adsorption effect on nitrobenzene pollutants in wastewater. The investigation of various factors affecting the adsorption, thermodynamic and kinetic equations was carried out. The adsorption equilibrium was reached within 30 min, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 94.67 mg g-1 at 298 K. The adsorption capacity of nitrobenzene by the HKUST-1 shell is in good agreement with the Freundlich model and the second-order kinetic model. The possible mechanism of adsorption of nitrobenzene by the HKUST-1 shell was discussed. The experimental results suggested that Cu-BTC materials have potential applications for wastewater treatment involving benzene pollutants.

This review covers recent progress in using single molecule fluorescence microscopy imaging to understand the nanoconfinement in porous materials. The single molecule approach unveils the static and dynamic heterogeneities from seemingly equal molecules by removing the ensemble averaging effect. Physicochemical processes including mass transport, surface adsorption/desorption, and chemical conversions within the confined space inside porous materials have been studied at nanometer spatial resolution, at the single nanopore level, with millisecond temporal resolution, and under real chemical reaction conditions. Understanding these physicochemical processes provides the ability to quantitatively measure the inhomogeneities of nanoconfinement effects from the confining properties, including morphologies, spatial arrangement, and trapping domains. Prospects and limitations of current single molecule imaging studies on nanoconfinement are also discussed.

Abstract
The introduction of structural defects in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), often achieved through the fractional use of defective linkers, is emerging as a means to refine the properties of existing MOFs. These linkers, missing coordination fragments, create unsaturated framework nodes that may alter the properties of the MOF. A property-targeted utilization of this approach demands an understanding of the structure of the defect-engineered MOF. We demonstrate that full-field X-ray absorption near-edge structure computed tomography can help to improve our understanding. This was demonstrated by visualizing the chemical heterogeneity found in defect-engineered HKUST-1 MOF crystals. A non-uniform incorporation and zonation of the defective linker was discovered, leading to the presence of clusters of a second coordination polymer within HKUST-1. The former is suggested to be responsible, in part, for altered MOF properties; thereby, advocating for a spatio-chemically resolved characterization of MOFs.

Abstract
Despite technological advancements, probing gas‐solid interfaces at the nanoscale is still a formidable challenge. New nano‐spectroscopic methods are needed to understand the guest–host interactions of functional materials during gas sorption, separation, and conversion. Herein, we introduce in situ Photoinduced Force Microscopy (PiFM) to evidence site‐specific interaction between Metal‐Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and water. To this end, we developed amphiphilic Surface‐anchored MOF (SURMOF) model systems using self‐assembly for the side‐by‐side hetero‐growth of nanodomains of hydrophilic HKUST‐1 and hydrophobic ZIF‐8. PiFM was used to probe local uptake kinetics and to show D2O sorption isotherms on (defective) HKUST‐1 paddlewheels. By monitoring defect vibrations, we visualized in real‐time the saturation of existing defects and the creation of D2O‐induced defects. This work shows the potential of in situ PiFM to unravel gas sorption mechanisms and map active sites on functional (MOF) materials.
