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
Adsorption and separation of Xe/Kr are significant for making high-density nuclear energy environmentally friendly and for meeting the requirements of the gas industry. Enhancing the accuracy of the adsorbate model for describing the adsorption behaviors of Xe and Kr in MOFs and the efficiency of the model for predicting the separation potential (SP) value of Xe/Kr separation in MOFs helps in searching for promising MOFs for Xe/Kr adsorption and separation within a short time and at a low cost. In this work, polarizable and transferable models for mimic Xe and Kr adsorption behaviors in MOFs were constructed. Using these models, SP values of 38 MOFs at various temperatures and pressures were calculated. An optimal neural network model called BPNN-SP was designed to predict SP value based on physical parameters of metal center (electronegativity and radius) and organic linker (three-dimensional size and polarizability) combined with temperature and pressure. The regression coefficient value of the BPNN-SP model for each data set is higher than 0.995. MAE, MBE, and RMSE of BPNN-SP are only 0.331, -0.002, and 0.505 mmol/g, respectively. Finally, BPNN-SP was validated by experiment data from six MOFs. The transferable adsorbate model combined with the BPNN-SP model would highly improve the efficiency for designing MOFs with high performance for Xe/Kr adsorption and separation.

Abstract
The fine-tuning of metal-organic framework (MOF) pore structures is of critical importance in developing energy-efficient xenon/krypton (Xe/Kr) separation techniques. Capitalizing on reticular chemistry, we constructed a robust Y-based MOF (NU-1801) that is isoreticular to NPF-500 with a shortened organic ligand and a larger metal radius while maintaining the 4,8-connected flu topology, giving rise to a narrowed pore structure for the efficient separation of a Xe/Kr mixture. At 298 K and 1 bar, NU-1801 possessed a moderate Xe uptake of 2.79 mmol/g but exhibited a high Xe/Kr selectivity of 8.2 and an exceptional Xe/Kr uptake ratio of about 400%. NU-1801 could efficiently separate a Xe/Kr mixture (20:80, v/v), as validated by breakthrough experiments, due to the outstanding discrimination in van der Waals interactions of Xe and Kr toward the framework confirmed by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. This work highlights the importance of reticular chemistry in designing structure-specific MOFs for gas separation.

Abstract
The efficient catalytic performance displayed by MOFs is decided by an appropriate charge/radius ratio of defect metal sites, large enough solvent-accessible channels and Lewis base sites capable of polarizing substrate molecules. Herein, the solvothermal self-assembly led to a highly robust nanochannel-based framework of {[In4(CPDD)2(μ3-OH)2(DMF)(H2O)2]·2DMF·5H2O}n (NUC-66) with a 56.8% void volume, which is a combination of a tetranuclear cluster [In4(μ3-OH)2(COO)10(DMF)(H2O)2] (abbreviated as {In4}) and a conjugated tetracyclic pentacarboxylic acid ligand of 4,4'-(4-(4-carboxyphenyl)pyridine-2,6-diyl)diisophthalic acid (H5CPDD). To the best of our knowledge, NUC-66 is a rarely reported {In4}-based 3D framework with embedded hierarchical triangular-microporous (2.9 Å) and hexagonal-nanoporous (12.0 Å) channels, which are shaped by six rows of {In4} clusters. After solvent exchange and vacuum drying, the surface of nanochannels in desolvated NUC-66a is modified by unsaturated In3+ ions, Npyridine atoms and μ3-OH groups, all of which display polarization ability towards polar molecules due to their Lewis acidity or basicity. The catalytic experiments performed showed that NUC-66a had high catalytic activity in the cycloaddition reactions of epoxides with CO2 under mild conditions, which should be ascribed to its structural advantages including nanoscale channels, rich bifunctional active sites, large surface areas and chemical stability. Moreover, NUC-66a, as a heterogeneous catalyst, could greatly accelerate the Knoevenagel condensation reactions of aldehydes and malononitrile. Hence, this work confirms that the development of rigid nanoporous cluster-based MOFs built on metal ions with a high charge and large radius ratio will be more likely to realize practical applications, such as catalysis, adsorption and separation of gas, etc.

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
Laccase has received extensive attention in pollutant degradation due to its high efficiency and environmental friendliness, but free laccase has poor stability, easy inactivation, and difficulty in recycling, which limited its application. It was a smart strategy to construct a synergistic system for the efficient adsorption and degradation of pollutants by enzyme immobilization to improve the stability and recyclability of the enzyme. In this study, the materials were synthesized by a one-step co-precipitation method. With Cu-MOF as the main body, Co2+ was introduced to construct bimetallic CoCu-MOF as the protective carrier of the enzyme. The enzyme-carrying capacity and enzyme activity of Lac@CoCu-MOF were 2-fold and 3.5-fold higher than those of Lac@Cu-MOF, respectively. Lac@MOF composites had a good protective effect on enzyme in various interfering environments. At pH = 7, free laccase was completely inactivated and Lac@CoCu-MOF maintained 51.76% enzyme activity. In addition, the removal rate of Congo red by Lac@CoCu-MOF reached 90 % in 1 h at pH = 4 % and 95 % in 5 h at pH = 7, and the final TOC mineralization rate reached 86.05 %. After six cycles, the degradation rate of Lac@CoCu-MOF remained above 75 %. Therefore, Lac@CoCu-MOF was constructed with the advantages of enzyme immobilization (enhanced stability and easy operation), material adsorption, and biocatalysis (fast diffusion and high activity), which has great guiding significance for the industrial application of enzyme.

Abstract
The development of paraffin-selective adsorbents is desirable but extremely challenging because adsorbents usually prefer olefin over paraffin. Herein, a new pore-window-partition strategy is proposed for the rational design of highly efficient paraffin-preferred metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents. The power of this strategy is demonstrated by stepwise installations of linear bidentate N-donor linkers into a prototype MOF (SNNU-201) to produce a series of partitional MOF adsorbents (SNNU-202-204). With continuous pore-window partitions from SNNU-201 to SNNU-204, the isosteric heat of adsorption can be tuned from -34.4 to -19.4 kJ mol-1 for ethylene and from -25.5 to -20.7 kJ mol-1 for ethane. Accordingly, partitional MOFs exhibit much higher ethane adsorption capacities, especially for SNNU-204 (104.6 cm3 g-1), representing nearly 4 times as much ethane as the prototypical counterpart (SNNU-201; 27.5 cm3 g-1) under ambient conditions. The C2H6/C2H4 ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity, dynamic breakthrough experiments, and theoretical simulations further indicate that pore-window partition is a promising and universal strategy for the exploration of highly efficient paraffin-selective MOF adsorbents.

Abstract
The unique structural advantage of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) determines the great prospect and developability in gas adsorption and separation. Both ligand design and microporous engineering based on crystal structure are significant lever for coping with new application exploration and requirements. Focusing on the designable pore and modifiable frameworks of MOFs, this review discussed the recent advances in the field of gas adsorption and separation, and analyzed the host-guest interaction, structure-performance relations, and the adsorption/separation mechanism from ligand design, skeleton optimization, metal node regulation, and active sites construction. Based on the function-oriented perspective, we summarized the main research recently, and made an outlook based on the focus of microporous MOFs that require further attention in the structure design and industrial application.

Abstract
The capture of the xenon and krypton from nuclear reprocessing off-gas is essential to the treatment of radioactive waste. Although various porous materials have been employed to capture Xe and Kr, the development of high-performance adsorbents capable of trapping Xe/Kr at very low partial pressure as in the nuclear reprocessing off-gas conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report a self-adjusting metal-organic framework based on multiple weak binding interactions to capture trace Xe and Kr from the nuclear reprocessing off-gas. The self-adjusting behavior of ATC-Cu and its mechanism have been visualized by the in-situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and theoretical calculations. The self-adjusting behavior endows ATC-Cu unprecedented uptake capacities of 2.65 and 0.52 mmol g-1 for Xe and Kr respectively at 0.1 bar and 298 K, as well as the record Xe capture capability from the nuclear reprocessing off-gas. Our work not only provides a benchmark Xe adsorbent but proposes a new route to construct smart materials for efficient separations.

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 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
Herein, the exquisite combination of coplanar [Tm4(CO2)10(μ3-OH)2(μ2-HCO2)(OH2)2] clusters ({Tm4}) and structure-oriented functional BDCP5- leads to the highly robust nanoporous {Tm4}-organic framework {(Me2NH2)[Tm4(BDCP)2(μ3-OH)2(μ2-HCO2)(H2O)2]·7DMF·5H2O}n (NUC-37, H5BDCP = 2,6-bis(2,4-dicarboxylphenyl)-4-(4-carboxylphenyl)pyridine). To the best of our knowledge, NUC-37 is the first anionic {Ln4}-based three-dimensional framework with embedded hierarchical microporous and nanoporous channels, among which each larger one is shaped by six rows of coplanar {Tm4} clusters and characterized by plentiful coexisting Lewis acid-base sites on the inner wall including open TmIII sites, Npyridine atoms, μ3-OH and μ2-HCO2. Catalytic experimental studies exhibit that NUC-37 possesses highly selective catalytic activity on the cycloaddition of epoxides with CO2 as well as high recyclability under gentle conditions, which should be ascribed to its nanoscale channels, rich bifunctional active sites, and stable physicochemical properties. This work offers an effective means for synthesizing productive cluster-based Ln-MOF catalysts by employing structure-oriented ligands and controlling the solvothermal reaction conditions.

Abstract
Harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitously detected in aquatic environments, but their remediation remains challenging. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recently identified as an advanced material class for the efficient removal of PFAS, but little is known about the fundamentals of the PFAS@MOF adsorption process. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated the performance of 3 different MOFs for the removal of 8 PFAS classes from aqueous film-forming foam-impacted groundwater samples obtained from 11 U.S. Air Force installations. Due to their different pore sizes/shapes and the identity of metal node, MOFs NU-1000, UiO-66, and ZIF-8 were selected to investigate the role of MOF structures, PFAS properties, and water matrix on the PFAS@MOF adsorption process. We observed that PFAS@MOF adsorption is (i) dominated by electrostatic and acid-base interactions for anionic and non-ionic PFAS, respectively, (ii) preferred for long- over short-chain PFAS, (iii) strongly dependent on the nature of PFAS head group functionality, and (iv) compromised in the presence of ionic and neutral co-contaminants by competing for ion-exchange sites and PFAS binding. With this study, we elucidate the PFAS@MOF adsorption mechanism from complex water sources to guide the design of more efficient MOFs for the treatment of PFAS-contaminated water bodies.

Abstract
The rare combination of InIII 5p and ZnII 3d in the presence of a structure-oriented TDP6- ligand led to a robust hybrid material of {(Me2NH2)[InZn(TDP)(OH2)]·4DMF·4H2O}n (NUC-42) with the interlaced hierarchical nanochannels (hexagonal and cylindrical) shaped by six rows of undocumented [InZn(CO2)6(OH2)] clusters, which represented the first 5p-3d nanochannel-based heterometallic metal-organic framework. With respect to the multifarious symbiotic Lewis acid-base and Brønsted acid sites in the high porous framework, the catalytic performance of activated NUC-42a upon CO2 cycloaddition with styrene oxide was evaluated under solvent-free conditions with 1 atm of CO2 pressure, which exhibited that the reaction could be well completed at ambient temperature within 48 h or at 60 °C within 4 h with high yield and selectivity. Moreover, because of the acidic function of metal sites and a central free pyridine in the TDP6- ligand, deacetalization-Knoevenagel condensation of acetals and malononitrile could be efficiently facilitated by an activated sample of NUC-42a under lukewarm conditions.

Abstract
High gas-uptake capacity is desirable for many reasons such as gas storage and sequestration. Moreover, ultrahigh capacity can enable a practical separation process by mitigating the selectivity factor that sometimes compromises separation efficiency. Herein, a single-walled nickel-organic framework with an exceptionally high gas capture capability is reported. For example, C2H4 and C2H6 uptake capacities are at record-setting levels of 224 and 289 cm3 g-1 at 273 K and 1 bar (169 and 110 cm3 g-1 at 298 K and 1 bar), respectively. Such ultrahigh capacities for both gases give rise to an excellent separation performance, as shown for C2H6/C2H4 with breakthrough times of 100, 60 and 30 min at 273, 283 and 298 K and under 1 atm. This new material is also shown to readily remove ethylene released from fruits, and once again, its ultrahigh capacity plays a key role in the extraordinary length of time achieved in the preservation of the fruit freshness.

Abstract
Obtaining highly valuable Xe from air or other sources is highly important but still seriously restricted by its inherent inert nature and the great difficulty in separation from other inert gases, especially for Xe and Kr that show comparable size. In this work, we show both experimental and theoretical research of how to boost the selective adsorption of Xe over Kr by double-accessible open-metal site in metal-organic framework (MOF). The MOF, namely, UTSA-74, shows a high Xe uptake up to 2.7 mmol/g and a lower Kr uptake of 0.58 mmol/g at 298 K and 1 bar, leading to a high selectivity of 8.4. The effective Xe/Kr separation was further confirmed by both transient breakthrough simulation and experimental breakthrough. The separation mechanism, as unveiled by the grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation and dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculation, is due to the unique double-accessible open-metal site in UTSA-74 that affords stronger interaction toward Xe than Kr.
