Abstract
As an endogenous signaling molecule, carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as an increasingly promising option regarding as gas therapy due to its positive pharmacological effects in various diseases. Owing to the gaseous nature and potential toxicity, it is particularly important to modulate the CO release dosages and targeted locations to elucidate the biological mechanisms of CO and facilitate its clinical applications. Based on these, diverse CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) have been developed for controlled release of CO in biological systems. However, practical applications of these CORMs are limited by several disadvantages including low stability, poor solubility, weak releasing controllability, random diffusion, and potential toxicity. In light of rapid developments and diverse advantages of nanomedicine, abundant nanomaterials releasing CO in controlled ways have been developed for therapeutic purposes across various diseases. Due to their nanoscale sizes, diversified compositions and modified surfaces, vast CO-releasing nanomaterials (CORNMs) have been constructed and exhibited controlled CO release in specific locations under various stimuli with better pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. In this review, we present the recent progress in CORNMs according to their compositions. Following a concise introduction to CO therapy, CORMs and CORNMs, the representative research progress of CORNMs constructed from organic nanostructures, hybrid nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials, and nanocomposites is elaborated. The basic properties of these CORNMs, such as active components, CO releasing mechanisms, detection methods, and therapeutic applications, are discussed in detail and listed in a table. Finally, we explore and discuss the prospects and challenges associated with utilizing nanomaterials for biological CO release.

Abstract
Gasotransmitters, gaseous signaling molecules including nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2 S), maintain myriad physiological processes. Low levels of gasotransmitters are often associated with specific problems or diseases, so NO, CO, and H2 S hold potential in treating bacterial infections, chronic wounds, myocardial infarction, ischemia, and various other diseases. However, their clinical applications as therapeutic agents are limited due to their gaseous nature, short half-life, and broad physiological roles. One route toward the greater application of gasotransmitters in medicine is through localized delivery. Hydrogels are attractive biomedical materials for the controlled release of embedded therapeutics as they are typically biocompatible, possess high water content, have tunable mechanical properties, and are injectable in certain cases. Hydrogel-based gasotransmitter delivery systems began with NO, and hydrogels for CO and H2 S have appeared more recently. In this review, the biological importance of gasotransmitters is highlighted, and the fabrication of hydrogel materials is discussed, distinguishing between methods used to physically encapsulate small molecule gasotransmitter donor compounds or chemically tether them to a hydrogel scaffold. The release behavior and potential therapeutic applications of gasotransmitter-releasing hydrogels are also detailed. Finally, the authors envision the future of this field and describe challenges moving forward.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have high potential as nanoplatforms for the storage and delivery of therapeutic gasotransmitters or gas-releasing molecules. The aim of the present study was to open an investigation into the viability of tricarbonyl-pyrazine-molybdenum(0) MOFs as carbon monoxide-releasing materials (CORMAs). A previous investigation found that the reaction of Mo(CO)6 with excess pyrazine (pyz) in a sealed ampoule gave a mixture comprising a major triclinic phase with pyz-occupied hexagonal channels, formulated as fac-Mo(CO)3(pyz)3/2·1/2pyz (Mo-hex), and a minor dense cubic phase, formulated as fac-Mo(CO)3(pyz)3/2 (Mo-cub). In the present work, an open reflux method in toluene has been optimized for the large-scale synthesis of the pure Mo-cub phase. The crystalline solids Mo-hex and Mo-cub were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopies, and 13C{1H} cross-polarization (CP) magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The release of CO from the MOFs was studied by the deoxy-myoglobin (deoxy-Mb)/carbonmonoxy-myoglobin (MbCO) UV-vis assay. Mo-hex and Mo-cub release CO upon contact with a physiological buffer in the dark, delivering 0.35 and 0.22 equiv (based on Mo), respectively, after 24 h, with half-lives of 3-4 h. Both materials display high photostability such that the CO-releasing kinetics is not affected by irradiation of the materials with UV light. These materials are attractive as potential CORMAs due to the slow release of a high CO payload. In the solid-state and under open air, Mo-cub underwent almost complete decarbonylation over a period of 4 days, corresponding to a theoretical CO release of 10 mmol per gram of material.

Abstract
Carbon nanocages (CNCs) have attracted tremendous interest in heterogeneous catalysis due to their promising properties of porous structure and improved mass transfer. Nevertheless, the controlled synthesis of CNCs remains a great challenge. Herein, we have shown the successful construction of functionalized N-doped CNCs (NCNCs) via a one-stone-two-birds strategy. The selective use of hexacarbonyl molybdenum (Mo(CO)6) can not only protect the profile of the ZIF-8 precursor from collapse during thermal treatment but also be sacrificed for the functionalization of NCNCs after pyrolysis. Detailed mechanism studies reveal that Mo(CO)6 evolves into MoO3 on the surface of ZIF-8 and then facilitates the rapid pyrolysis of ZIF-8, leading to the formation of NCNCs decorated with small-sized MoC nanoparticles (MoC/NCNCs). The versatility of this one-stone-two-birds strategy has been validated by the generations of Cr- and W-decorated NCNCs. Moreover, MoC/NCNCs can serve as a selective and stable catalyst for furfural hydrogenation. This work provides a facile and universal strategy for fabricating and functionalizing CNCs, which attracts research interest in the fields of chemistry, material science, catalysis, and beyond.
