Abstract
The energy demand for traditional vapor-compressed technology for space cooling continues to soar year after year due to global warming and the increasing human population's need to improve living and working conditions. Thus, there is a growing demand for eco-friendly technologies that use sustainable or waste energy resources. This review discusses the properties of various refrigerants used for adsorption cooling applications followed by a brief discussion on the thermodynamic cycle. Next, sorbents traditionally used for cooling are reviewed to emphasize the need for advanced capture materials with superior properties to improve refrigerant sorption. The remainder of the review focus on studies using engineered nanoporous frameworks (ENFs) with various refrigerants for adsorption cooling applications. The effects of the various factors that play a role in ENF-refrigerant pair selection, including pore structure/dimension/shape, morphology, open-metal sites, pore chemistry and possible presence of defects, are reviewed. Next, in-depth insights into the sorbent-refrigerant interaction, and pore filling mechanism gained through a combination of characterization techniques and computational modeling are discussed. Finally, we outline the challenges and opportunities related to using ENFs for adsorption cooling applications and provide our views on the future of this technology.

Abstract
Acetylene (C2H2) purification is of great importance for many chemical synthesis and processes. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used for gas adsorption and separation due to their variable structure and porosity. However, the exploitation of ideal MOF adsorbents for C2H2 keeps a challenging task. Herein, a combination of open metal sites (OMSs) and Lewis basic sites (LBSs) in robust MOFs is demonstrated to effectively promote the C2H2 purification performance. Accordingly, SNNU-37(Fe/Sc), two isostructural MOFs constituted by [Fe3O(COO)6] or [Sc3O(COO)6] trinuclear clusters and amide-functionalized tricarboxylate linkers, were designed with extra-stable 3,6-connected new architectures. Derived from the coexistence of high-density OMSs and LBSs, the C2H2 adsorption amounts of SNNU-37(Fe/Sc) are much higher than those values for C2H4 and CO2. Theoretical IAST selectivity values of SNNU-37(Fe) are 2.4 for C2H2/C2H4 (50/50, v/v) and 9.9 for C2H2/CO2 (50/50, v/v) at 298 K and 1 bar, indicating an excellent C2H2 separation ability. Experimental breakthrough curves also revealed that SNNU-37(Fe) could effectively separate C2H2/C2H4 and C2H2/CO2 under ambient conditions. GCMC simulations further indicate that open Fe or Sc sites and amide groups mainly contribute to stronger adsorption sites for C2H2 molecules.

Abstract
Recent studies on proton conductivity using pristine MOFs and their composite materials have established an outstanding area of research owing to their potential applications for the development of high performance solid state proton conductors (SSPCs) and proton exchange membranes (PEMs) in fuel cells (FCs). MOFs, as crystalline organic and inorganic hybrid materials, provide a large number of degrees of freedom in their framework composition, coordination environment, and chemically functionalized pores for the targeted design of improved proton carriers, functioning over a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions. Herein, our efforts have been emphasized on fundamental principles and different design strategies to achieve enhanced proton conductivity with appropriate examples. We also have discussed the modification mechanism of MOF-composite materials and mixed matrix membranes for commercial applications in FCs. Thus, this review aims to direct readers' attention towards the design strategies and structure-property relationship for proton transport in MOFs.

Abstract
In terms of recently documented references, the introduction of V═O units into porous MOF/COF frameworks can greatly improve their original performance and expand their application prospects due to a change in their electronegativity. In this work, by a cation-exchange strategy, a consummate combination of separate 4f [Tm2(CO2)8] SBUs and 3d [VIVO(H2O)2] units generated the functionalized porous metal-organic framework {(Me2NH2)2[VO(H2O)][Tm2(BDCP)2]·3DMF·3H2O}n (NUC-11), in which [Tm2(CO2)8] SBUs constitute the fundamental 3D host framework of {[Tm2](BDCP)2}n along with [VIVO(H2O)2] units being further docked on the inner wall of channels by covalent bonds. Significantly, NUC-11 represents the first example of V═O modified porous MOFs, in which uncoordinated carboxylic groups (-CO2H) further grasp the functional [VIVO(H2O)2] units on the initial basic skeleton along with the formation of covalent bonds as fixed ropes. Furthermore, activated samples of NUC-11 displayed a good catalytic performance for the chemical synthesis of carbonates from related epoxides and CO2 with high conversion rate. Moreover, by employing NUC-11 as a catalyst, a simulator of mustard gas, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, could be quickly and efficiently oxidized into low-toxicity products of oxidized sulfoxide (CEESO). Thus, this study offers a brand new view for the design and synthesis of functional-units-modified porous MOFs, which could be potentially applied as an excellent candidate in the growing field of efficient catalysis.

Abstract
Computational high-throughput screening using molecular simulations is a powerful tool for identifying top-performing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage and separation applications. Accurate partial atomic charges are often required to model the electrostatic interactions between the MOF and the adsorbate, especially when the adsorption involves molecules with dipole or quadrupole moments such as water and CO2. Although ab initio methods can be used to calculate accurate partial atomic charges, these methods are impractical for screening large material databases because of the high computational cost. We developed a random forest machine learning model to predict the partial atomic charges in MOFs using a small yet meaningful set of features that represent both the elemental properties and the local environment of each atom. The model was trained and tested on a collection of about 320 000 density-derived electrostatic and chemical (DDEC) atomic charges calculated on a subset of the Computation-Ready Experimental Metal-Organic Framework (CoRE MOF-2019) database and separately on charge model 5 (CM5) charges. The model predicts accurate atomic charges for MOFs at a fraction of the computational cost of periodic density functional theory (DFT) and is found to be transferable to other porous molecular crystals and zeolites. A strong correlation is observed between the partial atomic charge and the average electronegativity difference between the central atom and its bonded neighbors.

Abstract
Through a dual-ligand synthetic approach, five isoreticular primitive cubic (pcu)-type pillared-layer metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Zn2 (dicarboxylate)2 (NI-bpy-44)]⋅x DMF⋅y H2 O, in which dicarboxylate=1,4-bdc (1), Br-1,4-bdc (2), NH2 -1,4-bdc (3), 2,6-ndc (4), and bpdc (5), have been engineered. MOFs 1-5 feature twofold degrees of interpenetration and have open pores of 27.0, 33.6, 36.8, 52.5, and 62.1 %, respectively. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms of activated MOFs 1'-5' at 77 K all displayed type I adsorption behavior, suggesting their microporous nature. Although 1' and 3'-5' exhibited type I adsorption isotherms of CO2 at 195 K, MOF 2' showed a two-step gate-opening sorption isotherm of CO2 . Furthermore, MOF 3' also had a significant influence of amine functions on CO2 uptake at high temperature due to the CO2 -framework interactions. MOFs 1-5 revealed solvent-dependent fluorescence properties; their strong blue-light emissions in aqueous suspensions were efficiently quenched by trace amounts of nitrobenzene (NB), with limits of detection of 4.54, 5.73, 1.88, 2.30, and 2.26 μm, respectively, and Stern-Volmer quenching constants (Ksv ) of 2.93×103 , 1.79×103 , 3.78×103 , 4.04×103 , and 3.21×103 m-1 , respectively. Of particular note, the NB-included framework, NB@3, provided direct evidence of the binding sites, which showed strong host-guest π-π and hydrogen-bonding interactions beneficial for donor-acceptor electron transfer and resulting in fluorescence quenching.

Abstract
The exquisite combination of Ba2+ and Zn2+ with the aid of 2,4,6-tri(2,4-dicarboxyphenyl)pyridine (H6TDP) under the condition of solvothermal self-assembly generates one highly robust [Ba3Zn4(CO2)12(HCO2)2(OH2)2]-organic framework of {[Ba3Zn4(TDP)2(HCO2)2(OH2)2]·7DMF·4H2O}n (NUC-27), in which adjacent 2D layers are interlaced via hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a 3D skeleton with peapod-like channels and nano-caged voids. It is worth emphasizing that both Ba2+ and Zn2+ ions in NUC-27 display the extremely low coordination modes: hexa-coordinated [Ba(1)] and tetra-coordinated [Ba(2), Zn(1), and Zn(2)]. Furthermore, to the best our knowledge, NUC-27 is one scarcely reported 2D-based nanomaterial with an unprecedented Z-shaped hepta-nuclear heterometallic cluster of [Ba3Zn4(CO2)12(HCO2)2(OH2)2] as SBUs, which not only has plentiful low-coordinated open metal sites but also has the excellent physicochemical properties including omni-directional opening pores, ultrahigh porosity, larger specific surface area, and the coexistence of Lewis acid-base sites. Just as expected, thanks to its rich active metal sites and pyridine groups as strong Lewis acid-base roles, completely activated NUC-27 displays high catalytic efficiency on the chemical transformation of epoxides with CO2 into cyclic carbonates under mild conditions and effectively accelerates the reaction process of Knoevenagel condensation.
