Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) gel, an emerging subtype of MOF structure, is unique in formation and function; however, its evolutionary process remains elusive. Here, the evolution of a model gel-based MOF, UiO-66(Zr) gel, is explored by demonstrating its sequential sol-gel self-assembly and nonclassical gel-crystal transformation. The control of the sol-gel process enables the observation and characterization of structures in each assembly stage (phase-separation, polycondensation, and hindered-crystallization) and facilitates the preparation of hierarchical materials with giant mesopores. The gelation mechanism is tentatively attributed to the formation of zirconium oligomers. By further utilizing the pre-synthesized gel, the nonclassical gel-crystal transformation is achieved by the modulation in an unconventional manner, which sheds light on crystal intermediates and distinct crystallization motions ("growth and splitting" and "aggregation and fusion"). The overall sol-gel and gel-crystal evolutions of UiO-66(Zr) enrich self-assembly and crystallization domains, inspire the design of functional structures, and demand more in-depth research on the intermediates in the future.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant attention over the past 2 decades due to their wide applicability as functional materials. However, targeted synthesis of novel MOFs remains problematic as their formation mechanisms are poorly understood, which forces us to rely on serendipity in the synthesis of novel MOFs. Here, we demonstrate a workflow employing the artificial force induced reaction (AFIR) method to investigate the self-assembly process of the node of the SIFSIX-3-Zn MOF, [Zn(pyz)4(SiF6)2]2- (pyz = pyrazine), in an automated manner. The workflow encompassing AFIR calculations, generation of extensive reaction path networks, propagation simulations of intermediates, and further refinements of identified formation pathways showed that the nodal structure can form through multiple competing pathways involving interconvertible intermediates. This finding provides a plausible rationale for the stochastic multistage processes believed to be key in MOF formation. Furthermore, this work represents the first application of an automated reaction mechanism discovery method to a MOF system using a general workflow that is applicable to study the formation of other MOF motifs as well.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently popular porous materials with research and application value in various fields such as medicine and engineering. Aiming at the application of MOFs in photocatalysis, this paper mainly reviews the main synthesis methods of ZnMOFs and the latest research progress of Zn MOF-based photocatalysts to degrade organic pollutants in water, such as organic dyes. This nanomaterial is being used to treat wastewater and has proven to be very efficient because of its exceptionally large surface area and porous nature. The results show that Zn-MOFs are capable of high degradation of the above pollutants and over 90% of degradation was observed in publications. In addition, the reusability percentage was examined and studies showed that the Zn-MOF nanostructure has very good stability and can continue to degrade a high percentage of pollutants after several cycles. This review focuses on Zn-MOFs and their composites. First, the methods of synthesis and characterization of these compounds are given. Finally, the application of these composites in the process of photocatalytic degradation of dye pollutants such as methylene blue, methyl orange, crystal violet, rhodamine B, etc. is explained.

Abstract
The description of the formation, structure, and reactivity of coordination networks and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) remains a real challenge in a number of cases. This is notably true for compounds composed of Zn2+ ions and terephthalate ligands (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, BDC) because of the difficulties in isolating them as pure phases and/or because of the presence of structural defects. Here, using mechanochemistry in combination with operando Raman spectroscopy, the observation of the formation of various zinc terephthalate compounds was rendered possible, allowing the distinction and isolation of three intermediates during the ball-milling synthesis of Zn3(OH)4(BDC). An "NMR crystallography" approach was then used, combining solid-state NMR (1H, 13C, and 17O) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to refine the poorly described crystallographic structures of these phases. Particularly noteworthy are the high-resolution 17O NMR analyses, which were made possible in a highly efficient and cost-effective way, thanks to the selective 17O-enrichment of either hydroxyl or terephthalate groups by ball-milling. This allowed the presence of defect sites to be identified for the first time in one of the phases, and the nature of the H-bonding network of the hydroxyls to be established in another. Lastly, the possibility of using deuterated precursors (e.g., D2O and d 4-BDC) during ball-milling is also introduced as a means for observing specific transformations during operando Raman spectroscopy studies, which would not have been possible with hydrogenated equivalents. Overall, the synthetic and spectroscopic approaches developed herein are expected to push forward the understanding of the structure and reactivity of other complex coordination networks and MOFs.

Abstract
Chemical reactions in solution almost always take place via a series of minute intermediates that are often in rapid equilibrium with each other, and hence hardly characterizable at the level of atomistic molecular structures. We found that single-molecule atomic-resolution real-time electron microscopic (SMART-EM) video imaging provides a unique methodology for capturing and analyzing the minute reaction intermediates, as illustrated here for single prenucleation clusters (PNCs) in the reaction mixture of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Specifically, we found two different types of PNCs are involved in the formation of MOF-2 and MOF-5 from a mixture of zinc nitrate and benzene dicarboxylates at 95 °C and 120 °C, respectively. SMART-EM identified a small amount of 1-nm-sized cube and cube-like PNCs in the MOF-5 synthesis, but not in the MOF-2 synthesis. In the latter, we instead found only linear and square PNCs, suggesting that the MOF-2/-5 bifurcation takes place at the PNC stage. Numerous techniques have been used to study the crystallization process of metal-organic frameworks, but little is known about their prenucleation clusters. Here the authors use single-molecule atomic-resolution real-time electron microscopic video imaging to identify prenucleation clusters in the synthesis of MOF-2 and MOF-5.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a promising class of materials. However, their insulating nature has limited their application as electrocatalysts. Herein, we report a heterogeneous nanostructure of a Ni-based MOF-modified Ni3S2/NiS hollow nanoparticle. The Ni3S2/NiS hollow core is prepared by a sulfuration process from a colloidal nickel nanoparticle using dodecanethiol followed by a low-temperature heat treatment in air to remove the adsorbed organic ligands. The thin shell of the Ni-based MOF (Ni-BDC) is synthesized using an in situ method in which the nickel sulfides supply the metal source and the additional terephthalic acid serves as the linker. Serving as an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst, this hybrid nanocomposite shows superior electrocatalytic performance with a low overpotential of 298 mV at 10 mA·cm-2 without carbon addition and a long-time endurability with no detectable activity deterioration, which can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the advantageous heterogeneous structure, combining the good hydrophilicity and coordinative unsaturation of the Ni-BDC shell and the high conductivity and porosity of the Ni3S2/NiS core as well as the strongly coupled interface between them.

Abstract
A simple and selective colorimetric method for the detection of perilous peroxide explosives was developed using the peroxidase mimetic activity of silver nanoparticles/flake-like zinc metal-organic framework nanocomposite (Ag@ZnMOF). The synthesis of Ag@ZnMOF contained the formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) inside the fine pores of Zn metal-organic framework (ZnMOF). High reactive AgNPs as well as great surface area of MOFs provided a synergetic and high improved catalytic activity for the composite which was studied as a peroxidase mimic in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-based oxidations. The achieved system was used for detection of Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) as one of the most hazardous peroxide explosives. TATP was decomposed in an acidic condition to generate H2O2, which was then applied to oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of the Ag@ZnMOF as a catalyst. This reaction led to the production of well-known blue colored charge transfer complex (oxTMB), which was recognized by the colorimetric technique. A linear relationship was obtained between the absorption intensity of the produced blue solution and the TATP concentration in the range of 0.4-15 mg L-1, with a detection limit of 0.1 mg L-1. A portable test kit was prepared using the same reagents for TATP measurement in real samples.
