Abstract
The photochemical direct esterification of aldehydes with alcohols via in situ-generated acyl-bromides presented in this report is an attractive complementary addition to hitherto reported methods, as these are usually carried out in a two-step, one-pot procedure in order to avoid side reactions such as the oxidation of alcohols by halogen sources.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2400265.

Abstract
Two titanium-based MOFs MIL-125 and MIL-125_NH2 are synthesized and characterized using high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), N2 sorption, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Stable up to 300 °C, both compounds exhibited similar specific surface areas (SSA) values (1207 and 1099 m2 g-1 for MIL-125 and MIL-125_NH2, respectively). EPR signals of Ti3+ are observed in both, whith MIL-125_NH2 also showing ─NH2 ●+ signatures. Both MOFs efficiently adsorbed iodine in continuous gas flow over five days, with MIL-125 trapping 1.9 g.g-1 and MIL-125_NH2 trapping 1.6 g.g-1. MIL-125_NH2 exhibited faster adsorption kinetics due to its smaller band gap (2.5 against 3.6 eV). In situ Raman spectroscopy conducted during iodine adsorption revealed signal evolution from "free" I2 to "perturbed" I2, and I3 -. TGA and in situ Raman desorption experiments showed that ─NH2 groups improved the stabilization of I3 - due to an electrostatic interaction with NH2 ●+BDC radicals. The Albery model indicated longer lifetimes for iodine desorption in I2@MIL-125_NH2, attributed to a rate-limiting step due to stronger interaction between the anionic iodine species and the ─NH2 ●+ radicals. This study underscores how MOFs with efficient charge separation and hole-stabilizer functional groups enhance iodine stability at higher temperatures.

Abstract
The extensive growth of nuclear power plants has a severe detrimental effect on human health and the surroundings due to the uncontrolled and unfiltered release of radioactive wastes into the environment. One such radioactive waste is 129I which has a fatal effect when released into the air or water bodies. Hence, molecular and ionic iodine capture from multimedia has become an important area of interest in the recent past. This work is aimed at introducing two 2D metal-organic frameworks with a fused cis-decalin conformation, {[Zn2(tpbn)(fdc)2]·6H2O}n (1) and {[Cd2(tpbn)(fdc)2(H2O)2]·2H2O}n (2), synthesized at room temperature utilizing a combination of M(OAc)2·2H2O (M: Zn/Cd), a neutral flexible ligand, tpbn, and a simple commercially available furan dicarboxylate, fdc2-, for the target application. The polarizing nature of the furan moieties and the oxygen rich pores in 1 and 2 facilitate the easy capture of molecular iodine from both the vapor phase and aqueous media with high uptake values. Furthermore, their efficiency was tested for the practical application under real-world conditions using river and seawater. In addition to confirming their recyclability with the retention of structural integrity, the interaction between 1 and 2 with iodine has also been established with experimental and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Efficient capture and storage of radioactive I2 is a prerequisite for developing nuclear power but remains a challenge. Here, two flexible Ag-MOFs (FJI-H39 and 40) with similar active sites but different pore sizes and flexibility are prepared; both of them can capture I2 with excellent removal efficiencies and high adsorption capacities. Due to the more flexible pores, FJI-H39 not only possesses the record-high I2 storage density among all the reported MOFs but also displays a very fast adsorption kinetic (124 times faster than FJI-H40), while their desorption kinetics are comparable. Mechanistic studies show that FJI-H39 can undergo induced-fit transformations continuously (first contraction then expansion), making the adsorbed iodine species enrich near the Ag(I) nodes quickly and orderly, from discrete I- anion to the dense packing of various iodine species, achieving the very fast adsorption kinetic and the record-high storage density simultaneously. However, no significant structural transformations caused by the adsorbed iodine are observed in FJI-H40. In addition, FJI-H39 has excellent stability/recyclability/obtainability, making it a practical adsorbent for radioactive I2. This work provides a useful method for synthesizing practical radioactive I2 adsorbents.

Abstract
Optimization of active sites and stability under irradiation are important targets for sorbent materials that might be used for iodine (I2) storage. Herein, we report the direct observation of I2 binding in a series of Cu(II)-based isostructural metal-organic frameworks, MFM-170, MFM-172, MFM-174, NJU-Bai20, and NJU-Bai21, incorporating various functional groups (-H, -CH3, - NH2, -C≡C-, and -CONH-, respectively). MFM-170 shows a reversible uptake of 3.37 g g-1 and a high packing density of 4.41 g cm-3 for physiosorbed I2. The incorporation of -NH2 and -C≡C- moieties in MFM-174 and NJU-Bai20, respectively, enhances the binding of I2, affording uptakes of up to 3.91 g g-1. In addition, an exceptional I2 packing density of 4.83 g cm-3 is achieved in MFM-174, comparable to that of solid iodine (4.93 g cm-3). In situ crystallographic studies show the formation of a range of supramolecular and chemical interactions [I···N, I···H2N] and [I···C≡C, I-C═C-I] between -NH2, -C≡C- sites, respectively, and adsorbed I2 molecules. These observations have been confirmed via a combination of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron, and Raman spectroscopies. Importantly, γ-irradiation confirmed the ultraresistance of MFM-170, MFM-174, and NJU-Bai20 suggesting their potential as efficient sorbents for cleanup of radioactive waste.

Abstract
Spent nuclear fuel contains heavy element fission products that must be separated for effective reprocessing for a safe and sustainable nuclear fuel cycle. 93 Zr and 99 Tc are high-yield fission products that co-transport in liquid-liquid extraction processes. Here we seek atomic-level information of this co-extraction process, as well as fundamental knowledge about ZrIV (and HfIV ) aqueous speciation in the presence of topology-directing ligands such as pertechnetate (TcO4 - ) and non-radioactive surrogate perrhenate (ReO4 - ). In this context, we show that the flat tetrameric oxyhydroxyl-cluster [MIV 4 (OH)8 (H2 O)16 ]8+ (and related polymers) is dissociated by perrhenate/pertechnetate to yield isostructural dimers, M2 (OH)2 (XO4 - )6 (H2 O)6 ⋅ 3H2 O (M=Zr/HfIV ; X=Re/TcVII ), elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. We used these model compounds to understand the pervasive 93 Zr-99 Tc coextraction with further speciation studies in water, nitric acid, and tetrabutylphosphate (TBP) -kerosene; where the latter two media are relevant to nuclear fuel reprocessing. SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering), compositional evaluation, and where experimentally feasible, ESI-MS (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry) showed that perrhenate/pertechnetate influence Zr/HfIV -speciation in water. In Zr-XO4 solvent extraction studies to simulate fuel reprocessing, we provide evidence that TcO4 - enhances extraction of ZrIV , and compositional analysis of the extracted metal-complexes (Zr-ReO4 study) is consistent with the crystallized ZrIV 2 (OH)2 (ReVII O4 - )6 (H2 O)6 ⋅dimer.

Abstract
Considering the importance of sustainable nuclear energy, effective management of radioactive nuclear waste, such as sequestration of radioiodine has inflicted a significant research attention in recent years. Despite the fact that materials have been reported for the adsorption of iodine, development of effective adsorbent with significantly improved segregation properties for widespread practical applications still remain exceedingly difficult due to lack of proper design strategies. Herein, utilizing unique hybridization synthetic strategy, a composite crystalline aerogel material has been fabricated by covalent stepping of an amino-functionalized stable cationic discrete metal-organic polyhedra with dual-pore containing imine-functionalized covalent organic framework. The ultralight hybrid composite exhibits large surface area with hierarchical macro-micro porosity and multifunctional binding sites, which collectively interact with iodine. The developed nano-adsorbent demonstrate ultrahigh vapor and aqueous-phase iodine adsorption capacities of 9.98 g.g-1 and 4.74 g.g-1, respectively, in static conditions with fast adsorption kinetics, high retention efficiency, reusability and recovery.

Abstract
Efficient management of radionuclides that are released from various processes in the nuclear fuel cycle is of significant importance. Among these nuclides, radioactive iodine (mainly 129I and 131I) is a major concern due to the risk it poses to the environment and to human health; thus, the development of materials that can capture and safely store radioactive iodine is crucial. Herein, a novel silver-thione-functionalized zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) was synthesized via postsynthetic modification and assessed for its iodine uptake capabilities alongside the parent ZIF-8 and intermediate materials. A solvent-assisted ligand exchange procedure was used to replace the 2-methylimidazole linkers in ZIF-8 with 2-mercaptoimidazole, forming intermediate compound ZIF-8 = S, which was reacted with AgNO3 to yield the ZIF-8 = S-Ag+ composite for iodine uptake. Despite possessing the lowest BET surface area of the derivatives, the Ag-functionalized material demonstrated superior I2 adsorption in terms of both maximum capacity (550 g I2/mol) and rapid kinetics (50% loading achieved in 5 h, saturation in 50 h) compared to that of our pristine ZIF-8, which reached 450 g I2/mol after 150 h and 50% loading in 25 h. This improvement is attributed to the presence of the Ag+ ions, which provide a strong chemical driving force to form a stable Ag-I species. The results of this study contribute to a broader understanding of the strategies that can be employed to engineer adsorbents with robust iodine uptake behavior.

Abstract
Herein, we report for the first time a biocompatible cross-linked trianglamine (Δ) network for the efficient iodine removal from the vapor phase, water, and seawater. In the vapor phase, the cross-linked network could capture 6 g g-1 of iodine, ranking among the most performant materials for iodine vapor capture. In the liquid phase, this cross-linked network is also capable of capturing iodine at high rates from aqueous media (water and seawater). This network displayed fast adsorption kinetics, and they are fully recyclable. This study reveals the high affinity of iodine for the intrinsic cavity of the trianglamine. The synthesized materials are extremely interesting since they are environmentally friendly and inexpensive and the synthesis could easily be scaled up to be used as the material of choice in response to accidents in the nuclear industry.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been largely investigated worldwide for their use in the capture of radioactive iodine due to its potential release during nuclear accident events and reprocessing of nuclear fuel. The present work deals with the capture of gaseous I2 under a continuous flow and its subsequent transformation into I3- within the porous structures of three distinct, yet structurally related, terephthalate-based MOFs: MIL-125(Ti), MIL-125(Ti)_NH2, and CAU-1(Al)_NH2. The synthesized materials exhibited specific surface areas (SSAs) with similar order of magnitude: 1207, 1099, and 1110 m2 g-1 for MIL-125(Ti), MIL-125(Ti)_NH2, and CAU-1(Al)_NH2, respectively. Because of that, it was possible to evaluate the influence of other variables over the iodine uptake capacity─such as band gap energies, functional groups, and charge transfer complexes (CTC). After 72 h of contact with the I2 gas flow, MIL-125(Ti)_NH2 was able to trap 11.0 mol mol-1 of I2, followed by MIL-125(Ti) (8.7 mol mol-1), and by CAU-1(Al)_NH2 (4.2 mol mol-1). The enhanced ability to retain I2 in the MIL-125(Ti)_NH2 was associated with a combined effect between its amino group (which has a great affinity toward iodine), its smaller band gap (2.5 eV against 2.6 and 3.8 eV for CAU-1(Al)_NH2 and MIL-125(Ti), respectively), and its efficient charge separation. In fact, the presence of a linker-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) mechanism in MIL-125(Ti) compounds separates the photogenerated electrons and holes into the two distinct moieties of the MOF: the organic linker (which stabilizes the holes) and the oxy/hydroxy inorganic cluster (which stabilizes the electrons). This effect was observed using EPR spectroscopy, whereas the reduction of the Ti4+ cations into the paramagnetic Ti3+ species was evidenced after irradiation of the pristine Ti-based MOFs with UV light (<420 nm). In contrast, because CAU-1(Al)_NH2 exhibits a purely linker-based transition (LBT)─with no EPR signals related to Al paramagnetic species─it tends to exhibit faster recombination of the photogenerated charge carriers as, in this case, both electrons and holes are located over the organic linker. Furthermore, the transformation of the gaseous I2 into In- [n = 5, 7, 9, ...] intermediates and then into I3- species was evaluated using Raman spectroscopy by following the evolution of their respective bands at about 198, 180, and 113 cm-1. This conversion─which is favored by an effective charge separation and smaller band gaps─increases the I2 uptake capacity of the compounds by creating specific adsorption sites for these anionic species. In fact, because the -NH2 groups act as an antenna to stabilize the photogenerated holes, both In- and I3- are adsorbed into the organic linker via an electrostatic interaction with these positively charged entities. Finally, changes regarding the EPR spectra before and after the iodine loading were considered to propose a mechanism for the electron transfer from the MOFs structure to the I2 molecules considering their different characteristics.

Abstract
Scanning transmission electron microscopy coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy (STEM-EELS) provides spatially resolved chemical information down to the atomic scale. However, studying radiation-sensitive specimens such as organic-inorganic composites remains extremely challenging. Here, we analyzed metal-organic framework nanoparticles (nanoMOFs) at low-dose (10 e-/Å2) and liquid nitrogen temperatures, similar to cryo-TEM conditions usually employed for high-resolution imaging of biological specimens. Our results demonstrate that monochromated STEM-EELS enables damage-free analysis of nanoMOFs, providing in a single experiment, signatures of intact functional groups comparable with infrared, ultraviolet, and X-ray data, with an energy resolution down to 7 meV. The signals have been mapped at the nanoscale (<10 nm) for each of these energy spectral ranges, including the chemical features observed for high energy losses (X-ray range). By controlling beam irradiation and monitoring spectral changes, our work provides insights into the possible pathways of chemical reactions occurring under electron exposure. These results demonstrate the possibilities for characterizing at the nanoscale the chemistry of sensitive systems such as organic and biological materials.

Abstract
Multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) rely on the properties of metal centers (nodes) and/or linkers (struts) for their diverse applications in the emerging field of research. Currently, there is a huge demand for MOF materials in the field of capture/fixation/sensing of air pollutants, harmful chemical effluents, and nuclear waste. However, it is a challenging task to utilize one MOF for providing remedies to all these issues. On the basis of our current research activities, we have identified that an oxadiazole moiety-a five-membered ring with two different heteroatoms (O and N)-in a carboxylate linker can be the key to generating such MOF materials for its (a) inherent polarizable nature and molecular docking ability and (b) photoluminescence properties. In this work, we report a 3D MOF {[Co2(oxdz)2(tpbn)(H2O)2]·4H2O}n (1), self-assembled at room temperature from a three-component reaction, with an oxadiazole moiety (where H2oxdz = 4,4'-(1,3,4-oxadiazole-2,5-diyl)dibenzoic acid and tpbn = N,N',N,"N″'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4-diaminobutane). The inherent polarizable nature of the oxadiazole moiety in 1 has been efficiently exploited for (i) multimedia iodine capture and (ii) fixation of CO2 under solvent-free and ambient conditions. On the other hand, the luminescent nature of the framework is found to be an efficient, highly preferred turn-on sensor for the ultra-fast detection of ketones with a limit as low as parts-per-trillion (mesitylene oxide: 447 ppt; cycloheptanone: 4.7 ppb; cyclohexanone: 17.2 ppb; acetylacetone: 18 ppb).

Abstract
The treatment of radioactive iodine in nuclear waste has always been a critical issue of social concern. The rational design of targeted and efficient capture materials is of great significance to the sustainable development of the ecological environment. In recent decades, crystalline materials have served as a molecular platform to study the binding process and capture mechanism of iodine molecules, enabling people to understand the interaction between radioactive iodine guests and pores intuitively. Cluster-based crystalline materials, including molecular clusters and cluster-based metal-organic frameworks, are emerging candidates for iodine capture due to their aggregative binding sites, precise structural information, tunable pores/packing patterns, and abundant modifications. Herein, recent progress of different types of cluster materials and cluster-dominated metal-organic porous materials for iodine capture is reviewed. Research prospects, design strategies to improve the affinity for iodine and possible capture mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
Many works reported the encapsulation of iodine in metal-organic frameworks as well as the I2 → I3- chemical conversion. This transformation has been examined by adsorbing gaseous iodine on a series of UiO-66 materials and the different Hf/Zr metal ratios (0-100% Hf) were evaluated during the evolution of I2 into I3-. The influence of the hafnium content on the UiO-66 structure was highlighted by PXRD, SEM images, and gas sorption tests. The UiO-66(Hf) presented smaller lattice parameter (a = 20.7232 Å), higher crystallite size (0.18 ≤ Φ ≤ 3.33 μm), and smaller SSABET (818 m2·g-1) when compared to its parent UiO-66(Zr) ─ a = 20.7696 Å, 100 ≤ Φ ≤ 250 nm, and SSABET = 1262 m2·g-1. The effect of replacing Zr atoms by Hf in the physical properties of the UiO-66 was deeply evaluated by a spectroscopic study using UV-vis, FTIR, and Raman characterizations. In this case, the Hf presence reduced the band gap of the UiO-66, from 4.07 eV in UiO-66(Zr) to 3.98 eV in UiO-66(Hf). Furthermore, the UiO-66(Hf) showed a blue shift for several FTIR and Raman bands, indicating a stiffening on the implied interatomic bonds when comparing to UiO-66(Zr) spectra. Hafnium was found to clearly favor the capture of iodine [285 g·mol-1, against 230 g·mol-1 for UiO-66(Zr)] and the kinetic evolution of I2 into I3- after 16 h of I2 filtration. Three iodine species were typically identified by Raman spectroscopy and chemometric analysis. These species are as follows: "free" I2 (206 cm-1), "perturbed" I2 (173 cm-1), and I3- (115 and 141 cm-1). It was also verified, by FTIR spectroscopy, that the oxo and hydroxyl groups of the inorganic [M6O4(OH)4] (M = Zr, Hf) cluster were perturbed after the adsorption of I2 into UiO-66(Hf), which was ascribed to the higher acid character of Hf. Finally, with that in mind and considering that the EPR results discard the possibility of a redox phenomenon involving the tetravalent cations (Hf4+ or Zr4+), a mechanism was proposed for the conversion of I2 into I3- in UiO-66─based on an electron donor-acceptor complex between the aromatic ring of the BDC linker and the I2 molecule.

Abstract
The use of an extrusion-spheronization process was investigated to prepare robust and highly porous extrudates and granules starting from UiO-66 and UiO-66_NH2 metal-organic framework powders. As-produced materials were applied to the capture of gaseous iodine and the adsorption of xenon and krypton. In this study, biosourced chitosan and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) are used as binders, added in low amounts (less than 5 wt % of the dried solids), as well as a colloidal silica as a co-binder when required. Characterizations of the final shaped materials reveal that most physicochemical properties are retained, except the textural properties, which are impacted by the process and the proportion of binders (BET surface area reduction from 5 to 33%). On the other hand, the mechanical resistance of the shaped materials toward compression is greatly improved by the presence of binders and their respective contents, from 0.5 N for binderless UiO-66 granules to 17 N for UiO-66@HEC granules. UiO-66_NH2-based granules demonstrated consequent iodine capture after 48 h, up to 527 mg/g, in line with the pristine UiO-66_NH2 powder (565 mg/g) and proportionally to the retaining BET surface area (-5% after shaping). Analogously, the shaped materials presented xenon and krypton sorption isotherms correlated to their BET surface area and high predicted xenon/krypton selectivity, from 7.1 to 9.0. Therefore, binder-aided extrusion-spheronization is an adapted method to produce shaped solids with adequate mechanical resistance and retained functional properties.
