Abstract
The efficient capture of radioactive iodine is of paramount importance due to its harmfulness. In this work, a new Th-based metal-organic framework (ECUT-Th-11) for iodine capture was reported. ECUT-Th-11 exhibited a relatively high capacity of capturing vapor iodine (2.03 g/g). Besides, the maximal adsorption capacity of iodine in a cyclohexane solution reaches 258.03 mg/g. All of the results demonstrated that ECUT-Th-11 could be a candidate material for the effective removal of waste iodine.

Abstract
When catalytic reactions are interfered with by radiation sources, thorium clusters are promising as potential catalysts due to their superior radiation resistance. However, there is currently very little research on the design synthesis and catalytic application of radiation-stable thorium clusters. In this work, we have elaborately engineered and fabricated three high-nuclear thorium cluster catalysts denoted as Th12L3-MA12, Th12L3-MA6-BF6, and Th12L3-Fcc12, which did not undergo any significant alterations in their molecular structures and compositions after irradiation with 690 kGy γ-rays. We systematically investigated the photocatalytic/thermocatalytic properties of these radiation-resistant thorium clusters for the first time and found that γ-rays could not alter their catalytic activities. In addition, it was found that ligand engineering could modulate the catalytic activity of thorium clusters, thus expanding the range of catalytic applications of thorium clusters, including reduction reactions (nitroarene reduction) and some oxidation reactions (N-heterocyclic oxidative dehydrogenation and diphenylmethane oxidation). Meanwhile, all of these organic transformation reactions achieved a >80% conversion and nearly 100% product selectivity. Radiation experiments combined with DFT calculations showed that the synergistic catalysis of thorium-oxo core and ligands led to the generation of specific active species (H+, O2•-, or tBuO/tBuOO•) and activation of substrate molecules, thus achieving superior catalytic performance. This work is not only the first to develop radiation-resistant thorium cluster catalysts to perform efficient redox reactions but also provides design ideas for the construction of high-nuclearity thorium clusters under mild conditions.

Complex 5 shows a better iodine adsorption factor of 290.0 mg g-1 at 60 °C for 360 min than the other ones, revealing that the flexibility of the spacer ligand governs the structural diversity and the adsorption capacity.

Abstract
Actinide-bearing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) encompass intriguing structures and properties, but the radioactivity of actinide cripples their applications. Herein, we have constructed a new thorium-based MOF (Th-BDAT) as a bifunctional platform for the adsorption and detection of radioiodine, a more radioactive fission product that can readily spread through the atmosphere in its molecular form or via solution as anionic species. The iodine capture within the framework of Th-BDAT from both the vapor phase and the cyclohexane solution has been verified, showing that Th-BDAT features maximum I2 adsorption capacities (Qmax) of 959 and 1046 mg/g, respectively. Notably, the Qmax of Th-BDAT toward I2 from cyclohexane solution ranks among the highest value for Th-MOFs reported to date. Furthermore, incorporating highly extended and π-electron-rich BDAT4- ligands renders Th-BDAT as a luminescent chemosensor whose emission can be selectively quenched by iodate with a detection limit of 1.367 μM. Our findings thus foreshadow promising directions that might unlock the full potential of actinide-based MOFs from the point of view of practical application.

Abstract
The treatment of radioactive iodine in nuclear waste has always been a critical issue of social concern. The rational design of targeted and efficient capture materials is of great significance to the sustainable development of the ecological environment. In recent decades, crystalline materials have served as a molecular platform to study the binding process and capture mechanism of iodine molecules, enabling people to understand the interaction between radioactive iodine guests and pores intuitively. Cluster-based crystalline materials, including molecular clusters and cluster-based metal-organic frameworks, are emerging candidates for iodine capture due to their aggregative binding sites, precise structural information, tunable pores/packing patterns, and abundant modifications. Herein, recent progress of different types of cluster materials and cluster-dominated metal-organic porous materials for iodine capture is reviewed. Research prospects, design strategies to improve the affinity for iodine and possible capture mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
Structural exploration and functional application of thorium clusters are still very rare on account of their difficult synthesis caused by the susceptible hydrolysis of thorium element. In this work, we elaborately designed and constructed four stable thorium clusters modified with different functionalized capping ligands, Th6-MA, Th6-BEN, Th6-C8A, and Th6-Fcc, which possessed nearly the same hexanuclear thorium-oxo core but different capabilities in light absorption and charge separation. Consequently, for the first time, these new thorium clusters were treated as model catalysts to systematically investigate the light-induced oxidative coupling reaction of benzylamine and thermodriven oxidation of aniline, achieving >90% product selectivity and approximately 100% conversion, respectively. Concurrently, we found that thorium clusters modified by switchable functional ligands can effectively modulate the selectivity and conversion of catalytic reaction products. Moreover, catalytic characterization and density functional theory calculations consistently indicated that these thorium clusters can activate O2/H2O2 to generate active intermediates O2·-/HOO· and then improved the conversion of amines efficiently. Significantly, this work represents the first report of stable thorium clusters applied to photo/thermotriggered catalytic reactions and puts forward a new design avenue for the construction of more efficient thorium cluster catalysts.

Abstract
Abstract
In the past decade, the area of solid state chemistry of actinides has witnessed a rapid development in China, based on the significantly increased proportion of the number of actinide containing crystal structures reported by Chinese researchers from only 2% in 2010 to 36% in 2021. In this review article, we comprehensively overview the synthesis, structure, and characterizations of representative actinide solid compounds including oxo-compounds, organometallic compounds, and endohedral metallofullerenes reported by Chinese researchers. In addition, Chinese researchers pioneered several potential applications of actinide solid compounds in terms of adsorption, separation, photoelectric materials, and photo-catalysis, which are also briefly discussed. It is our hope that this contribution not only calls for further development of this area in China, but also arouses new research directions and interests in actinide chemistry and material sciences.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, characterization, and iodine capture application of a novel thorium-organic nanotube, TSN-626, [Th6O4(OH)4(C6H4NO2)7(CHO2)5(H2O)3]·3H2O. The classification as a metal-organic nanotube (MONT) distinguishes it as a rare and reduced dimensionality subset of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs); the structure is additionally hallmarked by low node connectivity. TSN-626 is composed of hexameric thorium secondary building units and mixed O/N-donor isonicotinate ligands that demonstrate selective ditopicity, yielding both terminating and bridging moieties. Because hard Lewis acid tetravalent metals have a propensity to bind with electron donors of rival hardness (e.g., carboxylate groups), such Th-N coordination in a MOF is uncommon. However, the formation of key structural Th-N bonds in TSN-626 cap some of the square antiprismatic metal centers, a position usually occupied by terminal water ligands. TSN-626 was characterized by using complementary analytical and computational techniques: X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy, N2 physisorption isotherms, and density functional theory. TSN-626 satisfies design aspects for the chemisorption of iodine. The synergy between accessibility through pores, vacancies at the metal-oxo nodes, and pendent N-donor sites allowed a saturated iodine loading of 955 mg g-1 by vapor methods. The crystallization of TSN-626 diversifies actinide-MOF linker selection to include soft electron donors, and these Th-N linkages can be leveraged for the investigation of metal-to-ligand bonding and unconventional topological expressions.

Abstract
This perspective highlights the recent advances in the structural and practical aspects of thorium-based metal-organic frameworks (Th-MOFs) and molecular clusters. Thorium, as an underexplored actinide, features surprisingly rich coordination geometries and accessibility of the 5f orbital. These features lead to a myriad of topologies and electronic structures, many of which are undocumented for other tetravalent metal-containing MOFs or clusters. Moreover, Th-MOFs inherit the modularity, structural tunability, porosity, and versatile functionality of the state-of-the-art MOFs. Recognizing the radioactive nature of these thorium-bearing materials that may limit their practical uses, Th-MOFs and Th-clusters still have great potential for various applications, including radionuclide sequestration, hydrocarbon storage/separation, radiation detection, photoswitch, CO2 conversion, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis. The objective of this updated perspective is to propose pathways for the renaissance of interest in thorium-based materials.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) mesoporous material with an atomically precise structure, Ti16Pb5O16(C6H5CO2)2(OCH3)40 (Ti16Pb5), comprised of a novel high-nuclearity Pb-doped titanium oxide cluster (TOC), was synthesized. Ti16Pb5 exhibited a surface area of 45 m2 g-1 and a pore diameter of 3.5 nm. It exhibited an uptake capacity of I2 of ≤2.2 g g-1 in vapor, and the performance was maintained after seven uptake-release cycles. Ti16Pb5 also showed a high adsorption ratio and capacity (93% and 3.1 g g-1) in hexane. The characterization data, including Fourier transform infrared, Raman, and powder X-ray diffraction, suggested the lattice structure of Ti16Pb5 was rigid and I2 was accommodated in the pores of Ti16Pb5. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of using a TOC in I2 adsorption. In addition, Ti16Pb5 showed excellent activity and recyclability in visible-light degradation of dye pollutants and photocurrent generation. Our structural analysis suggested the alkoxide ligands within the channels of Ti16Pb5 build up a confined polar environment and thereby facilitate I2 accommodation, and meanwhile, the improved performances and stabilities of Ti16Pb5 are correlated with its cluster-based, 3D hierarchical structure.

Abstract
Polymorphism control of metal-organic frameworks is highly desired for elucidating structure-property relationships, but remains an empirical process and is usually done in a trial-and-error approach. We adopted the rarely used actinide cation Th4+ and a ditopic linker to construct a series of thorium-organic frameworks (TOFs) with a range of polymorphs. The extraordinary coordination versatility of Th4+ cations and clusters, coupled with synthetic modulation, gives five distinct phases, wherein the highest degree of interpenetration (threefold) and porosity (75.9 %) of TOFs have been achieved. Notably, the O atom on the capping site of the nine-coordinated Th4+ cation can function as a bridging unit to interconnect neighboring secondary building units (SBUs), affording topologies that are undocumented for other tetravalent-metal-containing MOFs. Furthermore, for the first time HCOOH has been demonstrated as a bridging unit of SBUs to further induce structural complexity. The resulting TOFs exhibit considerably different adsorption behaviors toward organic dyes, thus suggesting that TOFs represent an exceptional and promising platform for structure-property relationship study.

Abstract
Cationic metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are widely used in the anion separation field, but there are few reports of pyrimidyl ligands as building units. In this work, three new cationic MOFs based on pyrimidyl as functional group ligands were synthesized for the removal of radioactive pertechnetate from aqueous solution. The pyrimidyl ligands were designed by incorporating pyrimidyl units into the skeletons of benzene, triphenylamine, and tetraphenylethylene, respectively. Taking advantage of multiple coordination sites of pyrimidyl groups, three cationic MOFs (ZJU-X11, ZJU-X12, and ZJU-X13) with diverse structures were solvothermally synthesized using silver ion as the metal node. Scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive spectroscopy mapping demonstrated that these three cationic MOFs could capture ReO4- via anion exchange, but the sorption capabilities were distinctly different. With 95% removal toward ReO4-, ZJU-X11 showed the strongest anion-exchange competence among the three MOFs. According to the results of batch experiments, ZJU-X11 could achieve sorption equilibrium within 10 min, remove 518 mg of ReO4- per 1 g of ZJU-X11, remove most of ReO4- after four recycles, and maintain satisfactory selectivity in the presence of excess competing anions, which is one of the best MOF materials for removing ReO4-/TcO4- among the three cationic MOFs. This work indicates that the pyrimidyl group is a promising multiple site to build versatile cationic MOFs.

Abstract
A new family of isostructural 3d-4f heterometallic metal-organic frameworks (HMOFs), [Zn3EuxTb2-x(TZI)4(DMA)5(H2O)3]·4DMA [x = 0 (1), 0.3 (2), 0.6 (3), 0.9 (4), 1 (5), 1.2 (6), 1.5 (7), 1.8 (8), 2 (9)], has been synthesized using the 5-(4-(tetrazol-5-yl) phenyl)isophthalic acid (H3TZI) ligand, LnIII ions and ZnII ions under solvothermal conditions. All HMOFs exhibit a (3,3,4,5,5)-connected 63·63(42·62·82)(4·65·8)(4·66·83) topology, which features three different types of motifs: one is a mononuclear ZnII ion and the other two motifs are binuclear [Zn(COO)3Ln] clusters. The adsorption experiments indicate that Zn3Tb2 (1) could efficiently remove almost all I2 from cyclohexane solution after 12 h and also showed better adsorption towards neutral red (NR) dye (adsorption: only the Zn3Tb2 (1) was taken as one representative). Simultaneously, the luminescence sensing showed that Zn3Tb2 (1) and Zn3Eu2 (9) have excellent response and sensitivity towards pollutants such as Fe3+ ions and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) with high selectivity and a fairly low limit of detection through luminescence quenching effect. Moreover, seven trimetallic-doped HMOFs 2-8 analogues of Zn3Ln2 (single) HMOFs were designed and prepared, showing different changes of luminescent color. More interestingly, Zn3Eu1.5Tb0.5 (7) with white-light emission was fabricated by doping relative concentrations of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions. To the best of our knowledge, Zn3Eu1.5Tb0.5 (7) represents a novel kind of heterometallic Zn3Ln2 HMOFs with white-light emission. It could be deduced that the excellent characteristics, namely strong typical luminescence emission of ZnII and LnIII ions, microporous channels, active open metal sites (tetra-coordinated ZnII-metal sites), and uncoordinated carboxylate O atoms and uncoordinated tetrazolate N atoms, made the above HMOFs an ideal platform for adsorption, luminescence sensing, and white-light emission. More significantly, these HMOFs are the first reported Zn-Ln heterometallic materials with the H3TZI ligand.
