Abstract
The substitution of atoms with molecular building blocks to form hybrid organic-inorganic networks has been an important research theme for several decades. ABX3 molecular perovskites (MolPs) are a subclass of hybrid networks, adopting the perovskite structure with cationic and anionic molecules on the A-site and X-site. MolPs such as ((CH3)2NH2)Zn(HCOO)3 or ((n-C3H7)4N)Mn(C2N3)3 show a range of fascinating structure-chemical properties, including temperature-driven phase transitions that include a change of polarity as interesting for ferroelectrics, pressure-driven order-disorder phase transitions as interesting for barocaloric solid-state refrigeration, and most recently, melting-behaviour before decomposition with subsequent glass formation after cooling. In this feature article, we take a more personal perspective, overviewing the field's current state and outlining future directions. We start by comparing the MolPs' structural chemistry with their inorganic parents, a comparison that helps us identify opportunities for material design. After discussing the MolPs' potential as barocalorics, ferroelectrics, and in the area of glasses, we outline some challenges that lie ahead. Beyond their relevance as a hybrid analogue of inorganic perovskites, we find that MolPs' chemical parameter space provides exciting opportunities for systematically developing design guidelines for functional materials.

Abstract
As a representative of zeolitic imidazolate framework glass, agZIF-62 has been reported to be synthesized using a melt-quenching method in which the ZIF-62 crystal is heated to a temperature above the melting point. Interestingly, we unexpectedly found that agZIF-62 can also be synthesized by simple heating at temperatures lower than the melting point, which may be assisted by the release of encapsulated solvent molecules. The structural differences between melt-quenched agZIF-62 (MQ-agZIF-62) and heat-cooled agZIF-62 (HC-agZIF-62) were investigated. The results indicated that MQ-agZIF-62 is closer to the liquid state, while HC-agZIF-62 is closer to the crystal state. Interestingly, their luminescent emissions exhibit significant differences. Compared with the ZIF-62 crystal, MQ-agZIF-62 showed a blue-shift of 14 nm, whereas HC-agZIF-62 showed a red-shift of 9 nm. The emission intensity of agZIF-62 is also significantly stronger than that of ZIF-62; thus, rapid semiquantitative detection of the content of the MOF glass in glass and crystal mixtures can be achieved. In addition, HC-agZIF-62 and MQ-agZIF-62 can transform into ZIF-62 crystals via a solvent-media mechanism. This study provides new insights into ZIF-62 glass.

Abstract
Controlling the structure and functionality of crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using molecular building units and post-synthetic functionalisation presents challenges when extending this approach to their amorphous counterparts (aMOFs). Here, we present a new bottom-up approach for synthesising a series of Zr-based aMOFs, which involves linking metal-organic clusters with specific ligands to regulate local connectivity. In addition, we overcome the limitations of post-synthetic modifications in amorphous systems, demonstrating that homogeneous functionalisation is achievable even without regular internal voids. By altering the acidity of the side group, length, and degree of connectivity of the linker, we could control the porosity, proton conductivity, and mechanical properties of the resulting aMOFs.

Abstract
The pursuit of structure-property relationships in crystalline metal halide perovskites (MHPs) has yielded an unprecedented combination of advantageous characteristics for wide-ranging optoelectronic applications. While crystalline MHP structures are readily accessible through diffraction-based structure refinements, providing a clear view of associated long-range ordering, the local structures in more recently discovered glassy MHP states remain unexplored. Herein, we utilize a combination of Raman spectroscopy, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis to investigate the coordination environment in crystalline, glass and melt states of the 2D MHP [(S)-(-)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium]2PbBr4. While crystalline SNPB shows polarization-dependent Raman spectra, the glassy and melt states exhibit broad features and lack polarization dependence. Solid-state NMR reveals disordering at the organic-inorganic interface of the glass due to significant spatial disruption in the tethering ammonium groups and the corresponding dihedral bond angles connecting the naphthyl and ammonium groups, while still preserving substantial naphthyl group registry and remnants of the layering from the crystalline state (deduced from XRD analysis). Moreover, PDF analysis demonstrates the persistence of corner-sharing PbBr6 octahedra in the inorganic framework of the melt/glass phases, but with a loss of structural coherence over length scales exceeding approximately one octahedron due to disorder in the inter- and intraoctahedra bond angles/lengths. These findings deepen our understanding of diverse MHP structural motifs and how structural alterations within the MHP glass affect properties, offering potential for advancing next-generation phase change materials and devices.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses, known for their potential in gas separation, optics, and solid-state electrolytes, benefit from the processability of their (supercooled) liquid state. Traditionally, MOF glasses are produced by heating MOF crystals to their melting point and then cooling the liquid MOF to room temperature under an inert atmosphere. While effective, this melt-quenching technique requires high energy due to the high temperatures involved. It also limits the scope of new material development by restricting the compositional range to only those combinations of metal ions and linkers that are highly thermally stable. An alternative, mechanical milling at room temperature, has demonstrated its capability to transform MOF crystals into amorphous phases. However, the specific conditions under which these amorphous phases exhibit glass-like behavior remain uncharted. In this study, we explore the mechanochemical amorphization and vitrification of a variety of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with diverse linkers and different metal ions (Zn2+, Co2+ and Cu2+) at room temperature. Our findings demonstrate that ZIFs capable of melting can be successfully converted into glasses through ball-milling. Remarkably, some non-meltable ZIFs can also be vitrified using the ball-milling technique, as highlighted by the preparation of the first Cu2+-based ZIF glass.

Abstract
We investigated the melting behavior of four CPs with one-dimensional structures from a thermodynamic point-of-view. The difference in melting points depending on the crystal structures is observed. The interactions within the crystals were analyzed using DFT calculations. These analyses suggest that entropic terms dominate the melting points.

Abstract
A series of metal-organic frameworks (1-XDI) have been synthesized by imide condensation reactions between an amine-functionalized pentanuclear zinc cluster, Zn4Cl5(bt-NH2)6, (bt-NH2 = 5-aminobenzotriazolate), and organic dianhydrides (pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NDA), 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (HFIPA)). The properties of the 1-XDI MOFs have been compared with analogues (2-XDI) prepared using traditional coordination assembly. The resulting materials have been characterized by ATR-IR spectroscopy, acid-digested 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and gas adsorption measurements. N2 adsorption isotherm data reveal modest porosities and BET surface areas (30-552 m2 g-1). All of the new 1-XDI and 2-XDI MOFs show selective adsorption of C2H2 over CO2 while 2-PMDI and 2-BPDI exhibit high selectivity toward C3H6/C3H8 separation. This study establishes imide condensation of preformed metal-organic clusters with organic linkers as a viable route for MOF design.

Abstract
Metal-organic network-forming glasses are an emerging type of material capable of combining the modular design and high porosity of metal-organic frameworks and the high processability and optical transparency of glasses. However, a generalizable strategy for achieving both high porosity and high glass-forming ability in modularly designed metal-organic networks has yet to be developed. Herein, we develop a series of aluminum alkoxide glasses and monoliths by linking aluminum-oxo clusters with alcohol linkers. A bulky monodentate alcohol modulator is introduced during synthesis and act as both network plasticizer and pore template, which can be removed by the subsequent solvent exchange to give gas accessible pores. Glasses synthesized with the modulator template exhibit well-defined glass transitions in their as-synthesized form and high surface areas up to 500 m2/g after activation, making them among the most porous glassy materials. The aluminum alkoxide glasses also have optical transparency and fluorescent properties, and their structures are elucidated by pair-distribution functions, spectroscopic and compositional analysis. These findings could significantly expand the library of microporous metal-organic network-forming glasses and enable their future applications.

Abstract
The preparation of coordination polymer (CP) alloys is demonstrated by the use of two meltable, one-dimensional crystal structures via melt-kneading. The polymer structures of the alloys are studied by synchrotron X-ray absorption and scattering, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, DSC, and viscoelastic measurements. Crystalline and amorphous domains and thermal properties (melting and glass transition) in the alloys depend on the ratio of the two constituent CPs. The glassy alloy composed of an equivalent amount of two CPs shows high plastic deformation properties, and the fracture point reaches 128% without a filler or compatibilizing agent, hence behaving as ductile materials.

Abstract
ConspectusCoordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent versatile materials with diverse structural and functional properties, making them appealing for various applications. However, their conventional forms, which are typically synthesized as powders or crystals, pose challenges due to limited processability and mechanical fragility. Recently, CP/MOF glasses have emerged as promising alternatives, offering enhanced processability while retaining some of the unique characteristics shown in the mother crystalline materials. Despite the prevalence of carboxylate ligands in CP/MOF synthesis, the development of carboxylate-based CP/MOF glasses has been limited compared to that of zeolitic-imidazole framework (ZIF)-based glasses. This is attributed to the strong metal-ligand bonds and low thermal stability of carboxylic acids, which hinder their melting in CP/MOF structures. Nonetheless, recent advancements have led to a surge in methods for synthesizing carboxylate-based CP/MOF glasses. So far, desolvation and melt-quenching have been introduced for achieving glass structures from CP/MOF precursors.The first melt-quenched MOF glass was reported in 2015 with ZIFs. However, we informally observed the melting of the MOF during thermal decomposition research of aliphatic carboxylate-based MOFs as a sacrificial template dating back to 2013. In that study, aliphatic ligands, instead of aromatic carboxylate, were employed due to their high lability, lower thermal stability, and high degree of freedom, which facilitated pyrolysis. The results were published with a focus on synthesizing hierarchically porous MgO via the pyrolysis of an aliphatic ligand-based Mg-MOF in an inert environment. A decade later, it was revisited and studied as the first melt-quenched carboxylate-based MOF glass, converted from a crystalline MOF through the liquid phase before decomposition during the heating process.This Account aims to introduce six studies, including the aforementioned example, on the synthesis of CP/MOF glasses from carboxylate-based CPs/MOFs that have been published so far. To overcome the challenges with aromatic carboxylates in CP/MOF glass formation, the metal coordination sphere should be altered and the degree of freedom in the ligands should be increased. Based on these approaches, the strategies for vitrification of carboxylate-based CPs/MOFs can be divided into two categories: desolvation and melt-quenching. Desolvation can be preceded by vapor perturbation such as hydration. Carboxylate-based CP/MOF glasses possess the potential to expand into a broader range of applications beyond those of existing CP/MOF glasses. Alongside the diversity offered by carboxylic acid ligands, these materials mirror the extensive range of applications previously explored in the existing carboxylate-based CP/MOF crystals. Moreover, their high processability, inherent to glass materials, enables their applications in various industrial fields. This versatility may extend to previously unexplored areas of utilization such as a novel class of bioactive glass.

Abstract
Given the creation of materials based on nanoscale science, nanotechnology must be combined with other disciplines. This role is played by the new concept of nanoarchitectonics, the process of constructing functional materials from nanocomponents. Nanoarchitectonics may be highly compatible with applications in biological systems. Conversely, it would be meaningful to consider nanoarchitectonics research oriented toward biological applications with a focus on materials systems. Perhaps, hydrogels are promising as a model medium to realize nanoarchitectonics in biofunctional materials science. In this review, we will provide an overview of some of the defined targets, especially for tissue engineering. Specifically, we will discuss (i) hydrogel bio-inks for 3D bioprinting, (ii) dynamic hydrogels as an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM), and (iii) topographical hydrogels for tissue organization. Based on these backgrounds and conceptual evolution, the construction strategies and functions of bio-gel nanoarchitectonics in medical applications and tissue engineering will be discussed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid porous materials presenting several tuneable properties, allowing them to be utilised for a wide range of applications. To date, focus has been on the preparation of novel crystalline MOFs for specific applications. Recently, interest in amorphous MOFs (aMOFs), defined by their lack of correlated long-range order, is growing. This is due to their potential favourable properties compared to their crystalline equivalents, including increased defect concentration, improved processability and gas separation ability. Direct synthesis of these disordered materials presents an alternative method of preparation to post-synthetic amorphisation of a crystalline framework, potentially allowing for the preparation of aMOFs with varying compositions and structures, and very different properties to crystalline MOFs. This perspective summarises current literature on directly synthesised aMOFs, and proposes methods that could be utilised to modify existing syntheses for crystalline MOFs to form their amorphous counterparts. It outlines parameters that could discourage the ordering of crystalline MOFs, before examining the potential properties that could emerge. Methodologies of structural characterisation are discussed, in addition to the necessary analyses required to define a topologically amorphous structure.

Abstract
Crystal-to-glass transformation is a powerful approach to modulating the chemical and physical properties of crystals. Here we demonstrate that the glass transformation of cobalt hexacyanoferrate crystals, one of the Prussian blue analogues, increased the concentration of open metal sites and altered the electronic state while maintaining coordination geometries and short-range ordering in the structure. The compositional and structural changes were characterized by X-ray absorption fine structure, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray total scattering. The changes contribute to the flat band potential of the glass becoming closer to the redox potential of CO2 reduction. The valence band energy of the glass also shifts, resulting in lower band gap energy. Both the increased open metal sites and the optimal electronic structure upon vitrification enhance photocatalytic activity toward CO2-to-CO conversions (9.9 μmol h-1 CO production) and selectivity (72.4%) in comparison with the crystalline counterpart (3.9 μmol h-1 and 42.8%).

Abstract
Dynamically responsive materials, capable of reversible changes in color appearance and/or photoemission upon external stimuli, have attracted substantial attention across various fields. This study presents an effective approach wherein switchable modulation of photochromism and ultralong phosphorescence can be achieved simultaneously in a zero-dimensional organic-inorganic halide hybrid glass doped with 4,4´-bipyridine. The facile fabrication of large-scale glasses is accomplished through a combined grinding-melting-quenching process. The persistent luminescence can be regulated through the photochromic switch induced by photo-generated radicals. Furthermore, the incorporation of the aggregation-induced chirality effect generates intriguing circularly polarized luminescence, with an optical dissymmetry factor (glum) reaching the order of 10-2. Exploiting the dynamic ultralong phosphorescence, this work further achieves promising applications, such as three-dimensional optical storage, rewritable photo-patterning, and multi-mode anti-counterfeiting with ease. Therefore, this study introduces a smart hybrid glass platform as a new photo-responsive switchable system, offering versatility for a wide array of photonic applications.

Abstract
Discrete porous coordination cages are attractive as a solution processable material whose porosity is not predicated on a network structure. Here, we leverage the peripheral functionalization of these cage structures to obtain 12 novel, solution processable, porous coordination cages that afford crystalline and amorphous single-phase millimeter-scale monolithic bulk structures (six of each) upon solidification. These structures are based upon prototypal metal-organic polyhedra [Cu24(5-x-isophthalate)24] (where x = NH2, OH), wherein meta-substitution of linker ligands with acyl chloride or isocyanate moieties afforded amide and urethane functional groups, respectively. These porous cage structures were obtainable via direct synthesis between a metal salt and a ligand as well as postsynthetic modification of the cage and formed monoliths following centrifugation and drying of the product. We rationalize their self-assembly as colloidal packing of nanoscale cuboctahedral cages through weak interactions between their hydrophobic alkyl/aromatic surfaces. In general, amorphous solids were obtained via rapid precipitation from the mother liquor upon methanol addition, while crystalline solids could be obtained only following further chloroform and pyridine additions. The structure of the materials is confirmed via gas sorption and spectroscopic methods, while powder X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy are used to determine the nature of these bulk solids.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are still plagued with low ionic conductivity and inferior interfacial contact, which hinder their practical implementation. Herein, a quasi-solid-state composite electrolyte, poly(1,3-dioxolane) (PDOL)/glassy ZIF-62 (PGZ) with fast ion transport and intimate interface contact, is fabricated via in situ polymerization. The in situ polymerization of DOL in an electrolyte matrix not only improves the exterior interface between electrolyte/electrode but also optimizes the inner interfaces among glassy particles, rendering PGZ as an uninterrupted ionic conductor. Moreover, PGZ inherits the superior ionic conductivity and the robust dendrite prohibition of glassy MOFs originating from their grain-boundary-free nature, isotropy, and abundant groups containing N species. As expected, our proposed PGZ exhibits a prominent ionic conductivity of 6.3 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 20 °C. Li|PGZ|LiFePO4 delivers an outstanding rate performance (103 mAh g-1 at 4C) and a stable cycling capacity (118 mAh g-1 at 1C over 1000 cycles). PGZ also presents excellent low-temperature cycling performance with 75 mAh g-1 for 480 cycles at -20 °C and excellent flame retardance. Even at a high loading of 12.1 mg cm-2, it can still discharge at 140 mAh g-1 for 100 cycles. Hence, PGZ prepared via in situ polymerization holds enormous prospects as a solid-state electrolyte for high-performance and safe LMBs.

Abstract
By combining the porosity of crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the unique processability of the liquid state, melt-quenched MOF glasses offer exciting opportunities for molecular separation. However, progress in this field is limited by two factors. Firstly, only very few MOFs melt at elevated temperatures and transform into stable glasses upon cooling the corresponding MOF liquid. Secondly, the MOF glasses obtained thus far feature only very small porosities and very small pore sizes. Here, we demonstrate solvent-assisted linker exchange (SALE) as a versatile method to prepare highly porous melt-quenched MOF glasses from the canonical ZIF-8. Two additional organic linkers are incorporated into the non-meltable ZIF-8, yielding high-entropy, linker-exchanged ZIF-8 derivatives undergoing crystal-to-liquid-to-glass phase transitions by thermal treatment. The ZIF-8 glasses demonstrate specific pore volumes of about 0.2 cm3g-1, adsorb large amounts of technologically relevant C3 and C4 hydrocarbons, and feature high kinetic sorption selectivities for the separation of propylene from propane.

Abstract
For decades, the study of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been limited primarily to their behavior as crystalline solids. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that they can undergo reversible crystal-to-liquid transitions. However, their "liquid" states have primarily been considered intermediate states, and their diverse properties and applications of the liquid itself have been overlooked. As we learn from organic polymers, ceramics, and metals, understanding the structures and properties of liquid states is essential for exploring new properties and functions that are not achievable in their crystalline state. This review presents state-of-the-art research on the liquid states of CPs and MOFs while discussing the fundamental concepts involved in controlling them. We consider the different types of crystal-to-liquid transitions found in CPs and MOFs while extending the interpretation toward other functional metal-organic liquids, such as metal-containing ionic liquids and porous liquids, and try to suggest the unique features of CP/MOF liquids. We highlight their potential applications and present an outlook for future opportunities.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) occupy a prominent position in the field of materials chemistry due to their attractive optoelectronic properties. While extensive work has been done on the crystalline materials over the past decades, the newly reported glasses formed from HOIPs open up a new avenue for perovskite research with their unique structures and functionalities. Melt-quenching is the predominant route to glass formation; however, the absence of a stable liquid state prior to thermal decomposition precludes this method for most HOIPs. In this work, we describe the first mechanochemically-induced crystal-glass transformation of HOIPs as a rapid, green and efficient approach for producing glasses. The amorphous phase was formed from the crystalline phase within 10 minutes of ball-milling, and exhibited glass transition behaviour as evidenced by thermal analysis techniques. Time-resolved in situ ball-milling with synchrotron powder diffraction was employed to study the microstructural evolution of amorphisation, which showed that the crystallite size reaches a comminution limit before the amorphisation process is complete, indicating that energy may be further accumulated as crystal defects. Total scattering experiments revealed the limited short-range order of amorphous HOIPs, and their optical properties were studied by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have emerged as a new class of organic-inorganic hybrid glass materials. Considerable efforts have been devoted to unraveling the macroscopic dynamics of MOF glasses by studying their rheological behavior; however, their microscopic dynamics remain unclear. In this work, we studied the effect of vitrification on linker dynamics in ZIF-62 by solid-state 2H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. 2H NMR relaxation analysis provided a detailed picture of the mobility of the ZIF-62 linkers, including local restricted librations and a large-amplitude twist; these details were verified by molecular dynamics. A comparison of ZIF-62 crystals and glasses revealed that vitrification does not drastically affect the fast individual flipping motions with large-amplitude twists, whereas it facilitates slow cooperative large-amplitude twist motions with a decrease in the activation barrier. These observations support the findings of previous studies, indicating that glassy ZIF-62 retains permanent porosity and that short-range disorder exists in the alignment of ligands because of distortion of the coordination angle.

Abstract
ConspectusRecent years have witnessed the development of cluster materials as they are atomically precise molecules with uniform size and solution-processability, which are unattainable with traditional nanoparticles or framework materials. The motivation for studying Al(III) chemistry is not only to understand the aggregation process of aluminum in the environment but also to develop novel low-cost materials given its natural abundance. However, the Al-related clusters are underdeveloped compared to the coinage metals, lanthanides, and transition metals. The challenge in isolating crystalline compounds is the lack of an effective method to realize the controllable hydrolysis of Al(III) ions. Compared with the traditional hydrolysis of inorganic Al(III) salts in highly alkaline solutions and hydrolysis of aluminum trialkyl compounds conducted carefully in an inert operating environment, we herein developed an effective way to control the hydrolysis of aluminum isopropanol through an alcoxalation reaction. By solvothermal/low melting point solid melting synthesis and using "ligand aggregation, solvent regulation, and supracluster assembly" strategies, our laboratory has established an organic-inorganic hybrid system of aluminum oxo clusters (AlOCs). The employment of organic ligands promotes the aggregation and slows the hydrolysis of Al(III) ions, which in turn improves the crystallization process. The regulation of the structure types can be achieved through the selection of ligands and the supporting solvents. Compared with the traditional condensed polyoxoaluminates, we successfully isolated a broad range of porous AlOCs, including aluminum molecular rings and Archimedes aluminum oxo cages. By studying ring expansion, structural transformation, and intermolecular supramolecular assembly, we demonstrate unique and unprecedented structural controllability and assembly behavior in cluster science. The advancement of this universal synthetic method is to realize materials customization through modularly oriented supracluster assembly. In this Account, we will provide a clear-cut definition and terminology of "ligand aggregation, solvent regulation, and supracluster assembly". Then we will discuss the discovery in this area by using a strategy, such as aluminum molecular ring, ring size expansion, ring supracluster assembly, etc. Furthermore, given the internal and external pore structures, as well as the solubility and modifiability of the AlOCs, we will demonstrate their potential applications in both the solid and liquid phases, such as iodine capture, the optical limiting responses, and dopant in polymer dielectrics. The strategy herein can be applied to extensive cluster science and promote the research of main group element chemistry. The new synthetic method, fascinating clusters, and unprecedented assembly behaviors we have discovered will advance Al(III) chemistry and will also lay the foundation for functional applications.

Abstract
Crystalline systems consisting of small-molecule building blocks have emerged as promising materials with diverse applications. It is of great importance to characterize not only their static structures but also the conversion of their structures in response to external stimuli. Femtosecond time-resolved crystallography has the potential to probe the real-time dynamics of structural transitions, but, thus far, this has not been realized for chemical reactions in non-biological crystals. In this study, we applied time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography (TR-SFX), a powerful technique for visualizing protein structural dynamics, to a metal-organic framework, consisting of Fe porphyrins and hexazirconium nodes, and elucidated its structural dynamics. The time-resolved electron density maps derived from the TR-SFX data unveil trifurcating structural pathways: coherent oscillatory movements of Zr and Fe atoms, a transient structure with the Fe porphyrins and Zr6 nodes undergoing doming and disordering movements, respectively, and a vibrationally hot structure with isotropic structural disorder. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using TR-SFX to study chemical systems.

Abstract
The recent discovery of glass-forming metal halide perovskites (MHPs) provides opportunities to broaden the application domain beyond traditionally celebrated optoelectronic research fueled by associated crystalline counterparts. In this regard, it is crucial to diversify the compositional space of glass-forming MHPs and introduce varied crystallization kinetics via synthetic structural engineering. Here, we compare two MHPs with slightly varying structural attributes, utilizing isomer organic cations with the same elemental composition, and demonstrate how this change in functional group position impacts the kinetics of glass formation and subsequent crystallization by multiple orders of magnitude. (S)-(-)-1-(1-Naphthyl)ethylammonium lead bromide (S(1-1)NPB) exhibits a lower melting point (Tm) of 175 °C and the melt readily vitrifies under a critical cooling rate (CCR) of 0.3 °C s-1. In contrast, (S)-(-)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethylammonium lead bromide (S(1-2)NPB) displays a Tm ∼193 °C and requires a CCR of 2500 °C s-1, necessitating the use of ultrafast calorimetry for glass formation and study of the underlying kinetics. The distinct Tm and glass-formation kinetics of the isomer MHPs are further understood through a combination of calorimetric and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies on their crystalline counterparts, highlighting the influence of altered organic-inorganic hydrogen bonding interactions and entropic changes around melting, providing insights into the factors driving their divergent behaviors.

Abstract
We synthesized high-heat-resistant adhesives based on metal - organic frameworks owing to their high decomposition temperature and the absence of a glass transition. Heat-resistance tests were performed on adhesive joints consisting of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-67-based adhesives and a copper substrate. The as-synthesized ZIF-67-based adhesive exhibited heat resistances at 600 and 700°C in air and nitrogen atmospheres, respectively, comparable to those of conventional high-heat-resistant polymer-based adhesives. The degradation mechanism of the ZIF-67 adhesives was investigated, and their high heat resistance was attributed to the stable existence of the ZIF-67 qtz phase in the adhesive layer at high temperatures without the formation of voids. Thus, adhesives based on ZIF-67 and other metal - organic frameworks can be applied in high-temperature industrial systems.

Abstract
The membrane process stands as a promising and transformative technology for efficient gas separation due to its high energy efficiency, operational simplicity, low environmental impact, and easy up-and-down scaling. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combine MOFs' superior gas-separation performance with polymers' processing versatility, offering the opportunity to address the limitations of pure polymer or inorganic membranes for large-scale integration. However, the incompatibility between the rigid MOFs and flexible polymer chains poses a challenge in MOF MMM fabrication, which can cause issues such as MOF agglomeration, sedimentation, and interfacial defects, substantially weakening membrane separation efficiency and mechanical properties, particularly gas separation. This review focuses on engineering MMMs' interfaces, detailing recent strategies for reducing interfacial defects, improving MOF dispersion, and enhancing MOF loading. Advanced characterisation techniques for understanding membrane properties, specifically the MOF-polymer interface, are outlined. Lastly, it explores the remaining challenges in MMM research and outlines potential future research directions.

Abstract
The phenomenon of melting in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has recently garnered attention. Crystalline MOF materials can be transformed into an amorphous glassy state through melt-quenching treatment. The resulting MOF glass structure eliminates grain boundaries and retains short-range order while exhibiting long-range disorder. Based on these properties, it emerges as a promising candidate for high-performance separation membranes. MOF glass membranes exhibit permanent and accessible porosity, allowing for selective adsorption of different gas species. This review summarizes the melting mechanism of MOFs and explores the impact of ligands and metal ions on glassy MOFs. Additionally, it presents an analysis of the diverse classes of MOF glass composites, outlining their structures and properties, which are conducive to gas adsorption and separation. The absence of inter-crystalline defects in the structures, coupled with their distinctive mechanical properties, renders them highly promising for industrial gas separation applications. Furthermore, this review provides a summary of recent research on MOF glass composite membranes for gas adsorption and separation. It also addresses the challenges associated with membrane production and suggests future research directions.

Abstract
CALF-20 was recently identified as a benchmark sorbent for CO2 capture at the industrial scale, however comprehensive atomistic insight into its mechanical/thermal properties under working conditions is still lacking. In this study, we developed a general-purpose machine-learned potential (MLP) for the CALF-20 MOF framework that predicts the thermodynamic and mechanical properties of the structure at finite temperatures within first-principles accuracy. Interestingly, CALF-20 was demonstrated to exhibit both negative area compression and negative thermal expansion. Most strikingly, upon application of the tensile strain along the [001] direction, CALF-20 was shown to display a distinct two-step elastic deformation behaviour, unlike typical MOFs that undergo plastic deformation after elasticity. Furthermore, this MOF was shown to exhibit a fracture strain of up to 27% along the [001] direction at room temperature comparable to that of MOF glasses. These abnormal thermal and mechanical properties make CALF-20 as attractive material for flexible and stretchable electronics and sensors.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have garnered significant attention due to their distinctive optical and electronic properties, coupled with excellent processability. However, the thermal characteristics of these materials are often overlooked, which can be harnessed to cater to diverse application scenarios. We showcase the efficacy of lowering the congruent melting temperature (Tm) of layered 2D MHPs by employing a strategy that involves the modification of flexible alkylammonium through N-methylation and I-substitution. Structural-property analysis reveals that the N-methylation and I-substitution play pivotal roles in reducing hydrogen bond interactions between the organic components and inorganic parts, lowering the rotational symmetry number of the cation and restricting the residual motion of the cations. Additional I···I interactions enhance intermolecular interactions and lead to improved molten stability, as evidenced by a higher viscosity. The 2D MHPs discussed in this study exhibit low Tm and wide melt-processable windows, e.g., (DMIPA)2PbI4 showcasing a low Tm of 98 °C and large melt-processable window of 145 °C. The efficacy of the strategy was further validated when applied to bromine-substituted 2D MHPs. Lowering the Tm and enhancing the molten stability of the MHPs hold great promise for various applications, including glass formation, preparation of high-quality films for photodetection, and fabrication of flexible devices.

Abstract
The structural knowledge of metal-organic frameworks is crucial to the understanding and development of new efficient materials for industrial implementation. This review classifies and discusses recent advanced literature reports on phase transitions that occur during thermal treatments on metal-organic frameworks and their characterisation. Thermally activated phase transitions and procceses are classified according to the temperaturatures at which they occur: high temperature (reversible and non-reversible) and low temperature. In addition, theoretical calculations and modelling approaches employed to better understand these structural phase transitions are also reviewed.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) feature complex phase transitions, including polymorphism, melting, vitrification, and polyamorphism. Experimentally probing their structural evolution during transitions involving amorphous phases is a significant challenge, especially at the medium-range length scale. To overcome this challenge, here we first train a deep learning-based force field to identify the structural characteristics of both crystalline and non-crystalline ZIF phases. This allows us to reproduce the structural evolution trend during the melting of crystals and formation of ZIF glasses at various length scales with an accuracy comparable to that of ab initio molecular dynamics, yet at a much lower computational cost. Based on this approach, we propose a new structural descriptor, namely, the ring orientation index, to capture the propensity for crystallization of ZIF-4 (Zn(Im)2, Im = C3H3N2-) glasses, as well as for the formation of ZIF-zni (Zn(Im)2) out of the high-density amorphous phase. This crystal formation process is a result of the reorientation of imidazole rings by sacrificing the order of the structure around the zinc-centered tetrahedra. The outcomes of this work are useful for studying phase transitions in other metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and may thus guide the development of MOF glasses.

Abstract
Water is one of the most reactive and abundant molecules on Earth, and it is thus crucial to understand its reactivity with various material families. One of the big unknown questions is how water in liquid and vapor forms impact the fast-emerging class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we discover that high-pressure water vapor drastically modifies the structure and hence the dynamic, thermodynamic, and mechanical properties of MOF glasses. In detail, we find that an archetypical MOF (ZIF-62) is extremely sensitive to heat treatments performed at 460 °C and water vapor pressures up to ∼110 bar. Both the melting and glass transition temperatures decrease remarkably (by >100 °C), and simultaneously, hardness and Young's modulus increase by up to 100% under very mild treatment conditions (<20 bar of hydrothermal pressure). Structural analyses suggest water to partially coordinate to Zn in the form of a hydroxide ion by replacing a bridging imidazolate-based linker. The work provides insight into the role of hot-compressed water in influencing the structure and properties of MOF glasses and opens a new route for systematically changing the thermodynamics and kinetics of MOF liquids and thus altering the thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting MOF glasses.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic atomically precise nanoclusters provide indispensable building blocks for establishing structure-property links in hybrid condensed matter. However, robust glasses of ligand-protected nanocluster solids have yet to be demonstrated. Herein, we show [Cu4I4(PR3)4] cubane nanoclusters coordinated by phosphine ligands (PR3) form robust melt-quenched glasses in air with reversible crystal-liquid-glass transitions. Protective phosphine ligands critically influence the glass formation mechanism, modulating the glasses' physical properties. A hybrid glass utilizing ethyldiphenylphosphine-based nanoclusters, [Cu4I4(PPh2Et)4], exhibits superb optical properties, including >90% transmission in both visible and near-infrared wavelengths, negligible self-absorption, near-unity quantum yield, and high light yield. Experimental and theoretical analyses demonstrate the structural integrity of the [Cu4I4(PPh2Et)4] nanocluster, i.e., iodine-bridged tetranuclear cubane, has been fully preserved in the glass state. The strong internanocluster CH-π interactions found in the [Cu4I4(PPh2Et)4] glass and subsequently reduced structural vibration account for its enhanced luminescence properties. Moreover, this highly transparent glass enables performant X-ray imaging and low-loss waveguiding in fibers drawn above the glass transition. The discovery of "nanocluster glass" opens avenues for unraveling glass formation mechanisms and designing novel luminescent glasses of well-defined building blocks for advanced photonics.

Abstract
Crystal-liquid-glass, which combines the tunable properties of crystalline compounds with the processability of glasses, has emerged as a new class of materials for fabricating bulk-shapable devices in real applications. Inspired by the characteristics of deep eutectic solvent (DES) mixtures involving significant depressions in melting points compared to their neat constituent components, in this study, we designed and synthesized the first examples of meltable aluminum oxo clusters (AlOCs) via lattice doping with DESs at the molecular level. The abundant and strong hydrogen bonding between the aluminum molecular ring, DES components, and lattice solvents is postulated to be the root that affords melting point depressions and, thus, "melting" clusters. We prepared a transparent bubble-free glass film under autogenous pressure using a hot-press method. These cluster-based films exhibited luminescent and nonlinear optical properties similar to those of pristine crystalline compounds. Our study belongs to the interdisciplinary disciplines of chemistry and physics. It not only breaks the limitations of crystalline glass on metal and ligand types but also acts as a general guide for extending the range of meltable crystalline materials.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses are an emerging class of glasses which complement traditional inorganic, organic and metallic counterparts due to their hybrid nature. Although a few zeolitic imidazolate frameworks have been made into glasses, how to melt and quench the largest subclass of MOFs, metal carboxylate frameworks, into glasses remains challenging. Here, we develop a strategy by grafting the zwitterions on the carboxylate ligands and incorporating organic acids in the framework channels to enable the glass formation. The charge delocalization of zwitterion-acid subsystem and the densely filled channels facilitate the coordination bonding mismatch and thus reduce the melting temperature. Following melt-quenching realizes the glass formation of a family of carboxylate MOFs (UiO-67, UiO-68 and DUT-5), which are usually believed to be un-meltable. Our work opens up an avenue for melt-quenching porous molecular solids into glasses.

Abstract
Polymers are promising candidates as solid-state electrolytes due to their performance and processability, but fillers play a critical role in adjusting the polymer network structure and electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Most fillers studied so far are anisotropic, limiting the possibility of homogeneous ion transport. Here, applying metal-organic framework (MOF) glass as an isotropic functional filler, solid-state polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolytes are prepared. Calorimetric and diffusion kinetics tests show that the MOF glass addition reduces the glass transition temperature of the polymer phase, improving the mobility of the polymer chains, and thereby facilitating lithium (Li) ion transport. By also incorporating the lithium salt and ionic liquid (IL), Li-Li symmetric cell tests of the PEO-lithium salt-MOF glass-IL electrolyte reveal low overpotential, indicating low interfacial impedance. Simulations show that the isotropic structure of the MOF glass facilitates the wettability of the IL by enhancing interfacial interactions, leading to a less confined IL structure that promotes Li-ion mobility. Finally, the obtained electrolyte is used to construct Li-lithium iron phosphate full batteries that feature high cycle stability and rate capability. This work therefore demonstrates how an isotropic functional filler can be used to enhance the electrochemical performance of solid-state polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
Jahn-Teller (JT) distorted CuII-containing compounds often display interesting structural and functional behaviour upon compression. We use high-pressure X-ray and neutron diffraction to investigate four JT-distorted Prussian blue analogues: Cu[Co(CN)6]0.67, CuPt(CN)6, and ACuCo(CN)6 (A = Rb, Cs), where the first two were studied in both their hydrated and dehydrated forms. All compounds are less compressible than the JT-inactive MnII-based counterparts, indicating a coupling between the electronic and mechanical properties. The effect is particularly strong for Cu[Co(CN)6]0.67, where the local JT distortions are uncorrelated (so-called orbital disorder). This sample amorphises at 0.5 GPa when dehydrated. CuPt(CN)6 behaves similarly to the MnII-analogues, with phase transitions at around 1 GPa and low sensitivity to water. For ACuCo(CN)6, the JT distortions reduce the propensity for phase transitions, although RbCuCo(CN)6 transitions to a new phase (P2/m) around 3 GPa. Our results have a bearing on both the topical Prussian blue analogues and the wider field of flexible frameworks.

Abstract
Although carboxylate-based frameworks are commonly used architectures in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), liquid/glass MOFs have thus far mainly been obtained from azole- or weakly coordinating ligand-based frameworks. This is because strong coordination bonds of carboxylate ligands to metals block the thermal vitrification pathways of carboxylate-based MOFs. In this study, we present the example of carboxylate-based melt-quenched MOF glasses comprising Mg2+ or Mn2+ with an aliphatic carboxylate ligand, adipate. These MOFs have a low melting temperature (Tm) of 284 °C and 238 °C, respectively, compared to zeolitic-imidazolate framework (ZIF) glasses, and superior mechanical properties in terms of hardness and elastic modulus. The low Tm may be attributed to the flexibility and low symmetry of the aliphatic carboxylate ligand, which raises the entropy of fusion (ΔSfus), and the lack of crystal field stabilization energy on metal ions, reducing enthalpy of fusion (ΔHfus). This research will serve as a cornerstone for the integration of numerous carboxylate-based MOFs into MOF glasses.

Abstract
The proton-coupled electron transfer(PCET) reaction plays a crucial role in the chemical transformation process andhas become one of the most concerned elementary reactions. However, the complex kinetics of PCET reaction, which requires the simultaneous transfer of protons and electrons, leads to the dilemma that thermodynamics and kinetics cannot bebalanced and restricts its further development. In this, an interface micro-electric field (IMEF) basedon Fe─N4 in FeMOFs (Fe-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks) glass is designed tosynchronize proton/electron interface behavior for the first time to realizeefficient PCET reaction and optimize reaction thermodynamics and kinetics. The IMEF facilitates the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, and accelerates Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle. Driven by near-surface electric field force, the protons near surfacemigrate to Fe sites and participate in Fe(IV)═O formation and reaction, lowering the reaction energy barrier. Based on the interface regulation ofIMEF, a high-efficiency PCET reaction is realized, and kinetic reactionrate constant of photocatalytic oxidation of emerging contaminants is increasedby 3.7 times. This study highlights a strategy for IMEFs to modulate PEC Treactions for a wide range of potential applications, including environmental and ecological applications.

Abstract
Lithium-ion and post-lithium-ion batteries are important components for building sustainable energy systems. They usually consist of a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte, and a separator. Recently, the use of solid-state materials as electrolytes has received extensive attention. The solid-state electrolyte materials (as well as the electrode materials) have traditionally been overwhelmingly crystalline materials, but amorphous (disordered) materials are gradually emerging as important alternatives because they can increase the number of ion storage sites and diffusion channels, enhance solid-state ion diffusion, tolerate more severe volume changes, and improve reaction activity. To develop superior amorphous battery materials, researchers have conducted a variety of experiments and theoretical simulations. This review highlights the recent advances in using amorphous materials (AMs) for fabricating lithium-ion and post-lithium-ion batteries, focusing on the correlation between material structure and properties (e.g., electrochemical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal ones). We review both the conventional and the emerging characterization methods for analyzing AMs and present the roles of disorder in influencing the performances of various batteries such as those based on lithium, sodium, potassium, and zinc. Finally, we describe the challenges and perspectives for commercializing rechargeable AMs-based batteries.

Abstract
Anisotropic functionalized platelets are able to model the assembly behaviour of molecular systems in two dimensions thanks to the unique combination of steric and bonding constraints. The assembly scenarios can vary from open to close-packed crystals, finite clusters and chains, according to the features of the imposed constraints. In this work, we focus on the assembly of equilibrium networks. These networks can be seen as disordered, porous monolayers and can be of interest for instance in nano-filtration and optical applications. We investigate the formation and properties of two dimensional networks from shape anisotropic colloids functionalized with four patches. We characterize the connectivity properties, the typical local bonding motives, as well as the geometric features of the emerging networks for a large variety of different systems. Our results show that networks of shape anisotropic colloids assemble into highly versatile network topologies, that may be utilized for applications at the nanoscale.

Abstract
On supercooling a liquid, the viscosity rises rapidly until at the glass transition it vitrifies into an amorphous solid accompanied by a steep drop in the heat capacity. Therefore, a pure homogeneous liquid is not expected to display more than one glass transition. Here we show that a family of single-component homogeneous molecular liquids, titanium tetraalkoxides, exhibit two calorimetric glass transitions of comparable magnitude, one of which is the conventional glass transition associated with dynamic arrest of the bulk liquid properties, while the other is associated with the freezing out of intramolecular degrees of freedom. Such intramolecular vitrification is likely to be found in molecules in which low-frequency terahertz intramolecular motion is coupled to the surrounding liquid. These results imply that intramolecular barrier-crossing processes, typically associated with chemical reactivity, do not necessarily follow the Arrhenius law but may freeze out at a finite temperature.

Abstract
Zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid metal halide (HMH) glasses are emerging luminescent materials and have gained attention due to their transparent character and ease of processing. However, the weakening of photoluminescence quantum efficiency from crystal to glass phases poses limitations for photonics applications. Here we develop high-performance glass-ceramic (G-C) scintillators via in situ recrystallization from 0D HMH glass counterparts composed of distinct organic cations and inorganic anions. The G-C scintillators maintain excellent transparency and exhibit nearly 10-fold higher light yields and lower detection limits than those of glassy phases. The general in situ recrystallization within the glass component by a facile heat treatment is analyzed via combined experimental elaboration and structural/spectral characterization. Our results on the development of G-Cs can initiate more exploration on the phase transformation engineering in 0D HMHs, and therefore make them highly promising for large-area scintillation screen applications.

Abstract
Metal-containing nanoparticles possess nanoscale sizes, but the exploitation of their nanofeatures in nanofabrication processes remains challenging. Herein, we report the realization of a class of zinc-based nanoparticle liquids and their potential for applications in controlled nanofabrication. Utilizing the metal-core charge shielding strategy, we prepared nanoparticles that display glass-to-liquid transition behavior with glass transition temperature far below room temperature (down to -50.9 °C). Theoretical calculations suggest the outer surface of these unusual nanoparticles is almost neutral, thus leading to interparticle interactions weak enough to give them liquefaction characteristics. Such features endow them with extraordinarily high dispersibility and excellent film-forming capabilities. Twenty-two types of nanoparticles synthesized by this strategy have all shown good lithographic properties in the mid-ultraviolet, electron beam, or extreme ultraviolet light, and these nanoparticle liquids have achieved controlled top-down nanofabrication with predesigned 18 or 16 nm patterns. This proposed strategy is synthetically scalable and structurally extensible and is expected to inspire the design of entirely new forms of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Understanding the nature of glass is one of the most important challenges in chemistry, physics, and materials science. In this study, transparent bulk supramolecular glasses with excellent optical behaviors and good mechanical properties were fabricated via the non-covalent polymerization of nucleosides. Hydrogen bonding is the main driving force in the formation of bulk supramolecular glasses. The directional and saturated character of hydrogen bonding enables the formation of a short-range ordered structure, while the weak nature and reversibility of hydrogen bonds allow for the asymmetric and random connections of the short-range ordered structure into a long-range disordered network. Various relaxations, including β, γ, and δ relaxations, are observed at temperatures below the glass transition temperature, demonstrating the metastable nature of bulk supramolecular glasses. This investigation offers supramolecular insights into the nature of glass materials.

Abstract
Two 1D coordination polymers (CPs) with general formula [M(L)(H2O)(AcO)]n, (M = Co (1) or Cd (2), AcO = acetate anion and L denotes l-phenylalanine based ligand), were synthesized and fully characterized by various spectroscopies (UV-vis, FTIR, and NMR), thermal techniques, magnetic measurements (for 1), and single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction studies. They can be described as "ribbon-like" 1D polymers constructed through a zigzag arrangement. The polymeric structure is developed due to the coordination mode adopted by the amino acid ligand, classified as μ3-N1O1:O1:O2, which simultaneously links three metal centers. This moiety also plays an important role as a magnetic coupler between metal centers in the cobalt system, which shows a weak antiferromagnetic interaction. Both CPs have also been used in the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular oxygen (O2) as an oxidant. Under mild conditions, both compounds demonstrated remarkable catalytic activity, with the cobalt system being more efficient than the cadmium analogue (conversion: 73 and 58% and selectivity for the major product, 2-cyclohexanone: 63 and 55%, for 1 and 2, respectively). Leaching experiments and the results obtained using a radical quencher are consistent with a radical-mediated mechanism for the Co compound. The presence of the superoxide radical was also confirmed using EPR spectroscopy and DMPO as a spin trap, which was further validated by DFT calculations. The activity observed for the Cd analogue is attributed to the organic scaffold assisted by the templating effect of the metal ion.

Abstract
The stability presented by trivalent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) makes them an attractive class of materials. With phosphonate-based ligands, crystallization is a challenge, as there are significantly more binding motifs that can be adopted due to the extra oxygen tether compared to carboxylate counterparts and the self-assembly processes are less reversible. Despite this, we have reported charge-assisted hydrogen-bonded metal-organic frameworks (HMOFs) consisting of [Cr(H2O)6]3+ and phosphonate ligands, which were crystallographically characterized. We sought to use these HMOFs as a crystalline intermediate to synthesize ordered Cr(III)-phosphonate MOFs. This can be done by dehydrating the HMOF to remove the aquo ligands around the Cr(III) center, forcing metal-phosphonate coordination. Herein, a new porous HMOF, H-CALF-50, is synthesized and then dehydrated to yield the MOF CALF-50. CALF-50 is ordered, although it is not single crystalline. It does, however, have exceptional stability, maintaining crystallinity and surface area after boiling in water for 3 weeks and soaking in 14.5 M H3PO4 for 24 h and 9 M HCl for 72 h. Computational methods are used to study the HMOF to MOF transformation and give insight into the nature of the structure and the degree of heterogeneity.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have multiple potential applications, as they combine advantages of traditional glasses with those of MOFs. The melt-quenching process used to form MOF glasses typically leads to a significant decrease in porosity, but the structural origin of this thermally induced pore collapse remains largely unknown. Here, we study the melting process of three zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), namely ZIF-4, ZIF-62, and ZIF-76, using ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. By analyzing the MD data using topological data analysis, we show that while the three ZIF systems exhibit similar short-range order structural changes upon heating, they exhibit significant differences in their medium-range order structure. Specifically, ZIF-76 retains more of its medium-range order structures in the liquid state compared to the other glass-forming ZIF systems, which allows it to remain more porous than ZIF-4 and ZIF-62. As such, our results may aid in understanding the structural features that govern the ability to maintain porosity in the melt-quenched glassy state.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are an important subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Recently, we reported a new kind of MOF, namely tetrahedral imidazolate frameworks with auxiliary ligands (TIF-Ax), by adding linear ligands (Hint) into the zinc-imidazolate system. Introducing linear ligands into the M2+-imidazolate system overcomes the limitation of imidazole derivatives. Thanks to the synergistic effect of two different types of ligands, a series of new TIF-Ax with interesting topologies and a special pore environment has been reported, and they have attracted extensive attention in gas adsorption, separation, catalysis, heavy metal ion capture, and so on. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of TIF-Ax, including their synthesis methods, structural diversity, and multi-field applications. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and perspectives of the rational design and syntheses of new TIF-Ax from the aspects of their composition, solvent, and template. This review provides deep insight into TIF-Ax and a reference for scholars with backgrounds of porous materials, gas separation, and catalysis.

Abstract
The melting phenomenon in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been recognised as one of the fourth generation MOF paradigm behaviours. Molten MOFs have high processibility for producing mechanically robust glassy MOF macrostructures, and they also offer highly tunable interfacial characteristics when combined with other types of functional materials, such as crystalline MOFs, inorganic glass and metal halide perovskites. As a result, MOF glass composites have emerged as a family of functional materials with dynamic properties and hierarchical structural control. These nanocomposites allow for sophisticated materials science studies as well as the fabrication of next-generation separation, catalysis, optical, and biomedical devices. Here, we review the approaches for designing, fabricating, and characterising MOF glass composites. We determine the key application opportunities enabled by these composites and explore the remaining hurdles, such as improving thermal and chemical compatibility, regulating interfacial properties, and scalability.
