Abstract
Noble gas xenon (Xe) is an excellent anesthetic gas, but its rarity, high cost and constrained production prohibits wide use in medicine. Here, we have developed a closed-circuit anesthetic Xe recovery and reusage process with highly effective CO2-specific adsorbent CUPMOF-5 that is promising to solve the anesthetic Xe supply problem. CUPMOF-5 possesses spacious cage cavities interconnected in four directions by confinement throat apertures of ~3.4 Å, which makes it an ideal molecular sieving of CO2 from Xe, O2, N2 with the benchmark selectivity and high uptake capacity of CO2. In situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and computational simulation solidly revealed the vital sieving role of the confined throat and the sorbent-sorbate induced-fit strengthening binding interaction to CO2. CUPMOF-5 can remove 5 % CO2 even from actual moist exhaled anesthetic gases, and achieves the highest Xe recovery rate (99.8 %) so far, as verified by breakthrough experiments. This endows CUPMOF-5 great potential for the on-line CO2 removal and Xe recovery from anesthetic closed-circuits.

Abstract
Adsorptive separation of Xe and Kr is an industrially promising but challenging process because of their identical shape and similar physicochemical properties. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy through rationally designing the linkers of anionic functional ultramicroporous materials (FUMs) to finely regulate the pore chemistry and architecture, which creates unique stepped channels incorporating dense polar nanotraps to generate a larger effective pore space and enables dense packing of Xe. A new hydrolytically stable FUM (ZUL-530) was prepared, which for the first time achieves a Xe packing density exceeding the liquid Xe density at atmospheric conditions in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (based on experimental data), resulting in both excellent Xe uptake (2.55 mmol g-1 at 0.2 bar) and high IAST selectivity (20.5). GCMC and DFT-D calculations reveal the essential role of the stepped traps in the dense packing of Xe. Breakthrough experiments demonstrate remarkable productivities of both high-purity Kr (6.70 mmol g-1) and Xe (1.78 mmol g-1) for the Xe/Kr (20:80) mixture. In a model nuclear industry exhaust gas, ZUL-530 exhibits a top-class Xe dynamic capacity (28.8 mmol kg-1) for trace Xe, which proves it is one of the best candidates for Xe/Kr separation.

Abstract
Xenon (Xe) is a commercially valuable element found in trace amounts in the off-gas from used nuclear fuel. Recovering Xe from these streams provides a cost-effective means to increase its supply. However, achieving high-purity Xe recovery is challenging due to the need for separation from nearly identical krypton (Kr). Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of crystalline porous materials, show potential to separate Xe and Kr by utilizing differences in their kinetic diameters, allowing for selective separation. In this work, we study the impact of pore aperture and volume on selective Xe recovery using four robust aluminum MOFs: Al-PMOF, Al-PyrMOF, Al-BMOF and MIL-120, all with conserved structural topology. The pore topology in each MOF is dictated by the dimensions of the tetracarboxylate ligand employed, with larger ligands leading to MOFs with increased pore size and volume. Our experimental and computational investigations revealed that MIL-120 exhibits the highest affinity (21.94 kH(Xe) = 21.94 mmol g-1 bar-1) for Xe among all MOFs, while Al-BMOF demonstrates the highest Xe/Kr selectivity of 14.34. We evaluated the potential of both MIL-120 and Al-BMOF for Xe recovery through breakthrough analysis using a mixture of 400 ppm Xe:40 ppm Kr. Our results indicate that due to its larger pore volume, Al-BMOF captured more Xe than MIL-120, demonstrating superior Xe/Kr separation efficiency.

Abstract
Efficient separation of Kr from Kr/Xe mixtures is pivotal in nuclear waste management and dark matter research. Thus far, scientists have encountered a formidable challenge: the absence of a material with the ability to selectively adsorb Kr over Xe at room temperature. This study presents a groundbreaking transformation of the renowned metal-organic framework (MOF) CuBTC, previously acknowledged for its Xe adsorption affinity, into an unparalleled Kr-selective adsorbent. This achievement stems from an innovative densification approach involving systematic compression of the MOF, where the crystal size, interparticle interaction, defects, and evacuation conditions are synergistically modulated. The resultant densified CuBTC phase exhibits exceptional mechanical resilience, radiation tolerance, and notably an unprecedented selectivity for Kr over Xe at room temperature. Simulation and experimental kinetic diffusion studies confirm reduced gas diffusion in the densified MOF, attributed to its small pore window and minimal interparticle voids. The lighter Kr element demonstrates facile surface passage and higher diffusivity within the material, while the heavier Xe encounters increased difficulty entering the material and lower diffusivity. This Kr-selective MOF not only represents a significant breakthrough in Kr separation but also demonstrates remarkable processability and scalability to kilogram levels. The findings presented herein underscore the transformative potential of engineered MOFs in addressing complex challenges, heralding a new era of Kr separation technologies.

Abstract
The use of click chemistry as a smart and suitable method for the development of new heterogeneous catalysts is based on metal-organic frameworks as well as the production of organic compounds. The development of the click chemistry method can provide a new strategy to achieve superior properties of MOFs. Here, the two metals Co and Fe are used to create a bimetallic-organic framework. In the following, the click chemistry and postmodification method are well organized and an acidic heterogeneous porous catalyst is developed. This prepared catalyst was used as a highly efficient catalyst for the preparation of new spiro-oxindoles obtained through click chemistry with good to excellent yields (80-94%). This presented catalytic system can compete with the best reported catalytic systems. The findings showed that the presence of Co and Fe metals in the MOF, and the presence of the triazole ring on the catalyst, can increase the catalytic efficiencies. This study offers novel insights into the architecture of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), click chemistry, and biologically active compounds. Additionally, the research explores the antibacterial properties of the synthesized spiro-oxindoles and catalysts. The findings reveal significant antibacterial activities of the synthesized compounds against S. aureus, MRSA, and E. coli bacteria.

Abstract
This work studies the potential of using short life fission product (AFp) radioisotopes e.g. 82Br, 86Rb, (90Sr) - 90mY, (99Mo) - 99mTc, 103Ru - 103mRh, 111Ag, 127Sb - 127(m)Te, 126I, 131I, 133Xe, 136Cs, 141Ce, 143Ce, 143Pr, 147Nd - 147Pm, 149Pm, 153Sm, 156Eu, 159Gd and 161Tb, extracted from a molten salt reactor and their separation using specific thermodynamic and radiochemical conditions. Their utilisation for coupled radiodiagnostics and radiotherapy is a key consideration. A molten salt reactor produces fission products during operation. These radioisotopes can be separated at line from the liquid fuel by evaporation/distillation, chemical reduction (using H2 doped gas), electro-deposition and/or chemical oxidation (using Cl2 doped gas). They can be refined and chemically treated for radiopharmaceutical use for imaging and radiodiagnostics utilising γ radioscopy or positron emission tomography, and potentially in radiotherapy to target specific cancers or viral diseases using β- emitters. Some of the AFp isotopes are currently used for radiodiagnostics because they emit γ rays of energy 50-200 keV. However, some may also be used in parallel for radiotherapy utilising their β- (EMean ≈ 100 keV) emission whose mean free pathway of c.a. 100 nm in biological tissue is much smaller than their penetration depth. Focus is given to 86Rb, 90Y, 99mTc, 131I and 133Xe as well as on the ALn isotopes (141Ce, 143Ce - 143Pr, 147Nd - 147Pm, 149Pm and 153Sm) because of their strong potential for complexation with bio-ligands (e.g. DOTA) or for their ability to form micro-nano-spheres, and because of their potential for dual radiodiagnostics and radiotherapy. It is shown that these radio-lanthanides could also replace 177Lu for the treatment of specific cancers.

Abstract
Global warming has become a growing concern over decades, prompting numerous research endeavours to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, the major greenhouse gas (GHG). However, the contribution of other non-CO2 GHGs including methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorocarbons, perfluorinated gases, etc. should not be overlooked, due to their high global warming potential and environmental hazards. In order to reduce the emission of non-CO2 GHGs, advanced separation technologies with high efficiency and low energy consumption such as adsorptive separation or membrane separation are highly desirable. Advanced porous materials (APMs) including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), etc. have been developed to boost the adsorptive and membrane separation, due to their tunable pore structure and surface functionality. This review summarizes the progress of APM adsorbents and membranes for non-CO2 GHG separation. The material design and fabrication strategies, along with the molecular-level separation mechanisms are discussed. Besides, the state-of-the-art separation performance and challenges of various APM materials towards each type of non-CO2 GHG are analyzed, offering insightful guidance for future research. Moreover, practical industrial challenges and opportunities from the aspect of engineering are also discussed, to facilitate the industrial implementation of APMs for non-CO2 GHG separation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated their versatility in a wide range of applications, including chemical separation, gas capture, and storage. In industrial adsorption processes, MOFs are integral to the creation of selective gas adsorption fixed beds. In this context, the assessment of their separation performance under relevant conditions often relies on breakthrough experiments. One aspect frequently overlooked in these experiments is the shaping of MOF powders, which can significantly impact the accuracy of breakthrough results. In this study, we present an approach for immobilizing MOF particles on the surface of glass beads (GBs) utilizing trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (TMPTGE) as a binder, leading to the creation of MOF@GB materials. We successfully synthesized five targeted MOF composites, namely, SIFSIX-3-Ni@GB, CALF-20@GB, UiO-66@GB, HKUST-1@GB, and MOF-808@GB, each possessing distinct pore sizes and structural topologies. Characterization studies employing powder X-ray diffraction and adsorption isotherm analyses demonstrated that MOFs@GB retained their crystallinity and 73-90% of the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller area of their parent MOFs. Dynamic breakthrough experiments revealed that, in comparison to their parent MOFs, MOF@GB configurations enhanced the accuracy of breakthrough measurements by mitigating pressure buildup and minimizing reductions in the gas flow rate. This work underscores the significance of meticulous experimental design, specifically in shaping MOF powders, to optimize the efficacy of breakthrough experiments. Our proposed strategy aims to provide a versatile platform for MOF powder processing, thereby facilitating more reliable breakthrough experiments.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202315987. [PMID: 37961032 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202315987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have been emerging as a new type of very promising microporous materials for gas separation and purification, but few HOFs structures constructed through hydrogen-bonding tetramers have been explored in this field. Herein, we report the first microporous HOF (termed as HOF-FJU-46) afforded by hydrogen-bonding tetramers with 4-fold interpenetrated diamond networks, which shows excellent chemical and thermal stability. What's more, activated HOF-FJU-46 exhibits the highest xenon (Xe) uptake of 2.51 mmol g-1 and xenon/krypton (Kr) selectivity of 19.9 at the ambient condition among the reported HOFs up to date. Dynamic breakthrough tests confirmed the excellent Xe/Kr separation of HOF-FJU-46a, showing high Kr productivity (110 mL g-1 ) and Xe uptake (1.29 mmol g-1 ), as well as good recyclability. The single crystal X-ray diffraction and the molecular simulations revealed that the abundant accessible aromatic and pyrazole rings in the pore channels of HOF-FJU-46a can provide the multiple strong C-H⋅⋅⋅Xe interactions with Xe atoms.

Abstract
Developing innovative porous solid sorbents for the capture and storage of toxic SO2 is crucial for energy-efficient transportation and subsequent processing. Nonetheless, the quest for high-performance SO2 sorbents, characterized by exceptional uptake capacity, minimal regeneration energy requirements, and outstanding recyclability under ambient conditions, remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present the design of a unique tertiary amine-embedded, pyrene-based quadripod-shaped ligand. This ligand is then assembled into a highly porous Zr-metal-organic framework (MOF) denoted as Zr-TPA, which exhibits a newly discovered 3,4,8-c woy net structure. Remarkably, our Zr-TPA MOF achieved an unprecedented SO2 sorption capacity of 22.7 mmol g-1 at 298 K and 1 bar, surpassing those of all previously reported solid sorbents. We elucidated the distinct SO2 sorption behaviors observed in isostructural Zr-TPA variants synthesized with different capping modulators (formate, acetate, benzoate, and trifluoroacetate, abbreviated as FA, HAc, BA, and TFA, respectively) through computational analyses. These analyses revealed unexpected SO2-induced modulator-node dynamics, resulting in transient chemisorption that enhanced synergistic SO2 sorption. Additionally, we conducted a proof-of-concept experiment demonstrating that the captured SO2 in Zr-TPA-FA can be converted in situ into a valuable pharmaceutical intermediate known as aryl N-aminosulfonamide, with a high yield and excellent recyclability. This highlights the potential of robust Zr-MOFs for storing SO2 in catalytic applications. In summary, this work contributes significantly to the development of efficient SO2 solid sorbents and advances our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying SO2 sorption in Zr-MOF materials.

Abstract
Designing an inexpensive and highly efficient recovery process for xenon (Xe) is gaining importance in the development of sustainable applications. Using metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for separating Xe from anesthetic gas mixtures has been a recent topic studied rarely and superficially in the literature. We theoretically investigated Xe recovery performances of 43 biological MOFs (Bio-MOFs) formed by biocompatible metal cations and biological endogenous linkers. Xe uptakes and Xe permeabilities in its binary mixtures with CO2, O2, and N2 were investigated by applying Grand Canonical Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations. Materials with metalloporphyrin, hexacarboxylate, triazine, or pyrazole ligands, dimetallic paddlewheel units, relatively large pore sizes (PLD > 5 Å and LCD > 10 Å), large void fractions (≈0.8), and large surface areas (>2900 m2 g-1) have been determined as top performing Bio-MOFs for Xe recovery. By applying Density Functional Theory simulations and generating electron density difference maps, we determined that Xe-host interactions in the top performing Bio-MOFs are maximized mainly due to noncovalent interactions of Xe, such as charge-induced dipole and aerogen-π interactions. Polarized Xe atoms in the vicinity of cations/anions as well as π systems are fingerprints of enhanced guest-host interactions. Our results show examples of rarely studied aerogen interactions that play a critical role in selective adsorption of Xe in nanoporous materials.

Abstract
The thermostability of encapsulated xenon is investigated in a series of isostructural crystalline sorbents. These sorbents consist of metal-organic capsules, with the general formula of [ConFe4-nL6]4- (n = 1, 2, 3 and 4), where L2- is an organic linker with two sulfonate groups. In the crystalline sorbent, guanidinium cations form H-bond networks with the peripheral sulfonate groups in the solid state and trap xenon in the molecular cavities, which are at least 2.7 times the volume of xenon. When heated, the sorbent retains xenon up to 561 K, i.e., 396 K higher than the boiling point of xenon. Furthermore, the thermostability of trapped xenon can be modulated by varying the ratio of Co:Fe in the crystalline sorbent. Elemental analysis on a single crystal by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirms the homogeneous distribution of Co and Fe in the sorbent. Structural analyses reveal that the expansion of capsule cavity is proportional to the Co:Fe ratio, with increases of 0.049(1) Å and 6.4(8) Å3 in metal-metal distance and cavity volume, per substitution of Fe by Co center. Steric repulsion between peripheral sulfonate groups is found to render a hypothetical face-centered cubic structure of (C(NH2)3)4[Fe4L6] not accessible, which would have trapped xenon with exceptional thermostability. The stable and tunable trapping of xenon in crystalline sorbents by over-sized molecular cavities suggests a new strategy for separation and storage of xenon, through introduction of kinetic barriers, such as H-bond networks.

Abstract
Radon is one of the 19 carcinogenic substances identified by the World Health Organization, posing a significant threat to human health and the environment. Properly removing radon under ambient conditions remains challenging. Compared with traditional radon−adsorbent materials such as activated carbon and zeolite, metal–organic framework (MOF) materials provide a high specific surface area, rich structure, and designability. However, MOF material powders demonstrate complications regarding practical use, such as easy accumulation, deactivation, and difficult recovery. Ni−MOF−74 was in situ grown on a porous polyacrylic acid (PA) spherical substrate via stepwise negative pressure impregnation. Ni−MOF−74 was structured as one−dimensional rod−shaped crystals (200–300 nm) in large−pore PA microspheres, whose porous structure increased the diffusion of radon gas. The radon adsorption coefficient of a Ni−MOF−74@PA−polyethyleneimine composite material was 0.49 L/g (293 K, relative humidity of 20%, air carrier). In comparison with pristine Ni−MOF−74 powder, our composite material exhibited enhanced adsorption and longer penetration time. The radon adsorption coefficient of the composite material was found to be from one to two orders of magnitude higher than that of zeolite and silica gel. The proposed material can be used for radon adsorption while overcoming the formation problem of MOF powders. Our preparation approach can provide a reference for the composite process of MOFs and polymers.

Abstract
As a new class of porous crystalline materials, hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) assembled from building blocks by hydrogen bonds have gained increasing attention. HOFs benefit from advantages including mild synthesis, easy purification, and good recyclability. However, some HOFs transform into unstable frameworks after desolvation, which hinders their further applications. Nowadays, the main challenges of developing HOFs lie in stability improvement, porosity establishment, and functionalization. Recently, more and more stable and permanently porous HOFs have been reported. Of all these design strategies, stronger charge-assisted hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds have been proven to be effective for developing stable, porous, and functional solids called hybrid HOFs, including ionic and metallized HOFs. This Review discusses the rational design synthesis principles of hybrid HOFs and their cutting-edge applications in selective inclusion, proton conduction, gas separation, catalysis and so forth.

Abstract
Efficient separation of xenon (Xe) and krypton (Kr) mixtures through vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) is considered the most attractive route to reduce energy consumption, but discriminating between these two gases is difficult due to their similar properties. In this work, we report a cubic zirconium-based MOF (Zr-MOF) platform, denoted as NU-1107, capable of achieving selective separation of Xe/Kr by post-synthetically engineering framework polarizability in a programmable manner. Specifically, the tetratopic linkers in NU-1107 feature tetradentate cyclen cores that are capable of chelating a variety of transition-metal ions, affording a sequence of metal-docked cationic isostructural Zr-MOFs. NU-1107-Ag(I), which features the strongest framework polarizability among this series, achieves the best performance for a 20:80 v/v Xe/Kr mixture at 298 K and 1.0 bar with an ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) predicted selectivity of 13.4, placing it among the highest performing MOF materials reported to date. Notably, the Xe/Kr separation performance for NU-1107-Ag(I) is significantly better than that of the isoreticular, porphyrin-based MOF-525-Ag(II), highlighting how the cyclen core can generate relatively stronger framework polarizability through the formation of low-valent Ag(I) species and polarizable counteranions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations corroborate these experimental results and suggest strong interactions between Xe and exposed Ag(I) sites in NU-1107-Ag(I). Finally, we validated this framework polarizability regulation approach by demonstrating the effectiveness of NU-1107-Ag(I) toward C3H6/C3H8 separation, indicating that this generalizable strategy can facilitate the bespoke synthesis of polarized porous materials for targeted separations.

Abstract
Molten salt reactor operation will necessitate circulation of a cover gas to remove certain evolved fission products and maintain an inert atmosphere. The cover gas leaving the reactor core is expected to contain both noble and non-noble gases, aerosols, volatile species, tritium, and radionuclides and their daughters. To remove these radioactive gases, it is necessary to develop a robust off-gas system, along with novel sensors to monitor the gas stream and the treatment system performance. In this study, a metal organic framework (MOF) was engineered for the capture of Xe, a major contributor to the off-gas source term. The engineered MOF column was tested with a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) sensor for noble gas monitoring. The LIBS sensor was used to monitor breakthrough tests with various Xe, Kr, and Ar mixtures to determine the Xe selectivity of the MOF column. This study offers an initial demonstration of the feasibility of monitoring off-gas treatment systems using a LIBS sensor to aid in the development of new capture systems for molten salt reactors.

Abstract
Xenon binding represents a formidable challenge, and efficient hosts remain rare. Here we report our findings that while enantiomeric bis(urea)-bis(thiourea) macrocycles form exclusive homochiral dimeric assemblies, xenon is able to overcome the narcissism and induces an otherwise-nonobservable heterochiral assembly as its preferred host. An experimental approach and fitting model were developed to obtain binding constants associated with the invisible assembly species. The determined xenon binding affinity with the heterochiral capsule reaches 1600 M-1, which is 15 times higher than that with the homochiral capsule and represents the highest record for an assembled host. The origin of the large difference in xenon affinity between the two subtle diastereotopic assemblies was revealed by single-crystal analysis. In the heterochiral capsule with S4 symmetry, the xenon atom is more tightly enclosed by van der Waals surroundings of the four thiourea groups arranged in a spherical cross-array, superior to the antiparallel array in the homochiral capsule with D2 symmetry.

Abstract
As rationally designable materials, the variety and number of synthesised metal-organic cages (MOCs) and organic cages (OCs) are expected to grow in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). In this regard, two of the most important questions are, which structures are already present in the CSD and how can they be identified? Here, we present a cage mining methodology based on topological data analysis and a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning that led to the derivation of - to the best of our knowledge - the first and only MOC dataset of 1839 structures and the largest experimental OC dataset of 7736 cages, as of March 2022. We illustrate the use of such datasets with a high-throughput screening of MOCs and OCs for xenon/krypton separation, important gases in multiple industries, including healthcare.

Abstract
The top priority of the sustainable development goals is to improve the quality of the environment for better living. Sulphur dioxide is considered more hazardous than any other gases that pollute the environment and harm the well-being of organisms. In 2019, India alone accounted for 21% of the world's SO2 emissions. Strict action is required to reduce maximum levels of SO2 emission to the atmosphere to improve the total air quality. To reduce SO2 emissions more effectively, in this study, α-hematite was chemically activated by using 5% NaOH and C2H5OH with the help of a double bed adsorption column. The adsorbent properties of α-hematite were studied by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller isotherm, which revealed a high surface area (539 m2 g-1), and pore size (2.3125 nm) and high volume in the pore (0.0293432 cm3 mg-1). FTIR confirmed that the SO2 particulate on the surface of the adsorbent with an adsorption capacity of 95%. The operating temperature of 40-50 °C was optimal for the chemical adsorption. It was found that the inlet concentration (64 mg m-3) of SO2 decreases as the adsorption of SO2 increases. Trace SO2 was well-adsorbed by the adsorbent, which resulted in a mass transfer zone. Freundlich's adsorption spectrum was more fit for low concentrated SO2 than Langmuir isotherm. The results indicate that the environmental emission of SO2 can be reduced with chemically enhanced α-hematite.

Abstract
The fine-tuning of the pore structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is of critical importance to developing energy-efficient processes for the challenging separation of structurally similar molecules. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to realize a quasi-three-dimensional refinement of the pore structure that utilizes the tunability of ring size and number in polycycloalkane-dicarboxylate ligands. Two hydrolytically stable MOFs with a confined aliphatic pore environment, ZUL-C1 and ZUL-C2, were, for the first time, synthesized and applied in separating low-concentration C2-C3 hydrocarbons from natural gas and ultralow-concentration Xe from used nuclear fuel (UNF) off-gas. Validated by X-ray diffraction and modeling, an expansion of the polycycloalkane moiety enables sub-angstrom contraction in specific directions and forms a pore surface with more alkyl sites, which affords stronger trapping of guest molecules with relatively higher polarizability. The resultant material exhibits record C2H6/CH4 and C3H8/CH4 selectivities coupled with a benchmark low-pressure C2H6 capacity in alkane mixture separation and also a benchmark Xe capacity at extremely diluted feed concentration and record Kr productivity for the Xe/Kr (20:80, v/v) mixture in Xe/Kr separation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of the most researched designer materials today, as their high tunability offers scientists a wide space to imagine all kinds of possible structures. Their uniquely flexible customisability spurred the creation of hypothetical datasets and the syntheses of more than 100 000 MOFs officially reported in the Cambridge Structural Database. To scan such large numbers of MOFs, computational high-throughput screenings (HTS) have become the customary method to identify the most promising structure for a given application, and/or to spot useful structure-property relationships. However, despite all these data-mining efforts, only a fraction of HTS studies have identified synthesisable top-performing MOFs that were then further investigated in the lab. In this perspective, we review these specific cases and suggest possible steps to push future HTS more systematically towards synthesisable structures.

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
Porous architectures characterized by parallel channels arranged in honeycomb or rectangular patterns are identified in two polymorphic crystals of a zwitterionic 4-(aryliodonio)-benzenesulfonate. The channels are filled with disordered water molecules which can be reversibly removed on heating. Consistent with the remarkable strength and directionality of the halogen bonds (XBs) driving the crystal packing formation, the porous structure is stable and fully preserved on almost quantitative removal and readsorption of water. The porous systems described here are the first reported cases of one-component 3D organic frameworks whose assembly is driven by XB only (XOFs). These systems are a proof of concept for the ability of zwitterionic aryliodonium tectons in affording robust one-component 3D XOFs. The high directionality and strength of the XBs formed by these zwitterions and the geometrical constraints resulting from the tendency of their hypervalent iodine atoms to act as bidentate XB donors might be key factors in determining this ability.

Abstract
Adsorptive separation of xenon (Xe) and krypton (Kr) is a promising technique but remains a daunting challenge since they are atomic gases without dipole or quadruple moments. Herein we report a strategy for fabricating angular anion-pillared materials featuring shell-like Xe nano-traps, which provide a cooperative effect conferred by the pore confinement and multiple specific interactions. The perfect permanent pore channel (4-5 Å) of Ni(4-DPDS)2 MO4 (M=Cr, Mo, W) can host Xe atoms efficiently even at ultra-low concentration (400 ppm Xe), showing the second-highest selectivity of 30.2 in Ni(4-DPDS)2 WO4 and excellent Xe adsorption capacity in Ni(4-DPDS)2 CrO4 (15.0 mmol kg-1 ). Crystallography studies and DFT-D calculations revealed the energy favorable binding sites and angular anions enable the synergism between optimal pore size and polar porosity for boosting Xe affinity. Dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrated three MOFs as efficient adsorbents for Xe/Kr separation.

Abstract
Separation of xenon/krypton gas mixtures is one of the valuable but challenging processes in the gas industries due to their close molecular size and similar physical properties. Here, we report a novel ultramicroporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework (termed as HOF-40) constructed from a cyano-based organic building unit of 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-cyanophenyl)benzene (TCPB), exhibiting superior separation performance for Xe/Kr mixtures, as clearly demonstrated by dynamic breakthrough curves. GCMC simulation results indicate that the pore confinement effect and abundant accessible binding sites play a synergistic role in this challenging gas separation. Furthermore, this cyano-based HOF displays excellent chemical stability from 12 M HCl to 20 M NaOH aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The steady supply of uranium resources and the reduction or elimination of the ecological and human health hazards of wastewater containing uranium make the recovery and detection of uranium in water greatly important. Thus, the development of effective adsorbents and sensors has received growing attention. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possessing fascinating characteristics such as high surface area, high porosity, adjustable pore size, and luminescence have been widely used for either uranium adsorption or sensing. Now pertinent research has transited slowly into simultaneous uranium adsorption and detection. In this review, the progress on the research of MOF-based materials used for both adsorption and detection of uranium in water is first summarized. The adsorption mechanisms between uranium species in aqueous solution and MOF-based materials are elaborated by macroscopic batch experiments combined with microscopic spectral technology. Moreover, the application of MOF-based materials as uranium sensors is focused on their typical structures, sensing mechanisms, and the representative examples. Furthermore, the bifunctional MOF-based materials used for simultaneous detection and adsorption of U(VI) from aqueous solution are introduced. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and perspectives of MOF-based materials for uranium adsorption and detection to provide a useful inspiration and significant reference for further developing better adsorbents and sensors for uranium containment and detection.

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
A series of Zr-based UiO-n MOF materials (n=66, 67, 68) have been studied for iodine capture. Gaseous iodine adsorption was collected kinetically from a home-made set-up allowing the continuous measurement of iodine content trapped within UiO-n compounds, with organic functionalities (-H, -CH3 , -Cl, -Br, -(OH)2 , -NO2 , -NH2 , (-NH2 )2 , -CH2 NH2 ) by in-situ UV-Vis spectroscopy. This study emphasizes the role of the amino groups attached to the aromatic rings of the ligands connecting the {Zr6 O4 (OH)4 } brick. In particular, the preferential interaction of iodine with lone-pair groups, such as amino functions, has been experimentally observed and is also based on DFT calculations. Indeed, higher iodine contents were systematically measured for amino-functionalized UiO-66 or UiO-67, compared to the pristine material (up to 1211 mg/g for UiO-67-(NH2 )2 ). However, DFT calculations revealed the highest computed interaction energies for alkylamine groups (-CH2 NH2 ) in UiO-67 (-128.5 kJ/mol for the octahedral cavity), and pointed out the influence of this specific functionality compared with that of an aromatic amine. The encapsulation of iodine within the pore system of UiO-n materials and their amino-derivatives has been analyzed by UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopy. We showed that a systematic conversion of molecular iodine (I2 ) species into anionic I- ones, stabilized as I- ⋅⋅⋅I2 or I3 - complexes within the MOF cavities, occurs when I2 @UiO-n samples are left in ambient light.

Abstract
Xe/Kr separation is an industrially important but challenging process owing to their inert properties and low concentrations in the air. Energy-effective adsorption-based separation is a promising technology. Herein, two isostructural hydrogen-bonded metal-nucleobase frameworks (HOF-ZJU-201 and HOF-ZJU-202) are capable of separating Xe/Kr under ambient conditions and strike an excellent balance between capacity and selectivity. The Xe capacity of HOF-ZJU-201a reaches 3.01 mmol g-1 at 298 K and 1.0 bar, while IAST selectivity and Henry's selectivity are 21.0 and 21.6, respectively. Direct breakthrough experiments confirmed the excellent separation performance, affording a Xe capacity of 25.8 mmol kg-1 from a Xe/Kr mixed-gas at dilute concentrations. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the selective binding arises from the enhanced polarization in the confined electric field produced by the electron-rich anions and the electron-deficient purine heterocyclic rings.

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.

Abstract
The rational design and synthesis of robust metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on novel organic building blocks are fundamental aspects of reticular chemistry. Beyond simply fabricating new organic linkers, however, it is important to elucidate structure-property relationships at the molecular level to develop high-performing materials. In this work, we successfully targeted a highly porous and robust cage-type MOF (NU-200) with an nbo-derived fof topology through the deliberate assembly of a cyclohexane-functionalized iron(II)-clathrochelate-based meta-benzenedicarboxylate linker with a Cu2(CO2)4 secondary building unit (SBU). NU-200 exhibited an outstanding adsorption capacity of xenon and a high ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) predicted selectivity for a 20/80 v/v mixture of xenon (Xe)/krypton (Kr) at 298 K and 1.0 bar. Our extensive computational simulations with grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and density functional theory (DFT) on NU-200 indicated that the MOF's hierarchical bowl-shaped nanopockets surrounded by custom-designed cyclohexyl groups─instead of the conventionally believed open metal sites (OMSs)─played a crucial role in reinforcing Xe-binding affinity. The optimally sized pockets firmly trapped Xe through numerous supramolecular interactions including Xe···H, Xe···O, and Xe···π. Additionally, we validated the unique pocket confinement effect by experimentally and computationally employing the similarly sized probe, sulfur dioxide (SO2), which provided significant insights into the molecular underpinnings of the high uptake of SO2 (11.7 mmol g-1), especially at a low pressure of 0.1 bar (8.5 mmol g-1). This work therefore can facilitate the judicious design of organic building blocks, producing MOFs featuring tailor-made pockets to boost gas adsorption and separation performances.

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
Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted widespread interest due to their unique properties including a tunable porous structure, high drug loading capacity, structural diversity, and outstanding biocompatibility. MOFs have been extensively explored as drug nanocarriers in biotherapeutics. However, by harnessing the functionality of ligands and metal ions or clusters in MOFs, the applications of MOFs can be extended beyond drug delivery vehicles. Based on the intrinsic properties of the components of MOFs (e.g. magnetic moments of metal ions and fluorescence of ligands), different imaging modes can be achieved with varied MOFs. With careful design of the composition of MOFs (e.g. modification of organic linkers), they can respond to tumor microenvironments to realize on-demand treatment. By incorporating porphyrin-based ligands (photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy) or high-Z metal ions (radiosensitizers for radiotherapy) into the scaffold of MOFs, MOFs themselves can act as anticancer therapeutic agents. In this review, we highlight the application of MOFs from the above-mentioned aspects and discuss the prospects and challenges for using MOFs in stimuli-responsive imaging-guided antitumor therapy.
