Abstract
The confinement-dependent properties of solvents, particularly water, within nanoporous spaces impart unique physical and chemical behavior compared to those of the bulk. This has previously been demonstrated for a U(VI)-based metal organic nanotube that displays ice-like arrays of water molecules within the 1-D pore space and complete selectivity to H2O over all other solvents and isotopologues. Based upon our previous work on D2O and HTO adsorption processes, we suggested that the water uptake was controlled by a two-step process: (1) surface adsorption via hydrogen bonding to hydrophilic amine and carboxylic groups and (2) diffusion of the water into the hydrophobic 1-D nanochannels. The current study seeks to evaluate this hypothesis and expand our existing kinetic model for the water diffusion step to account for the initial surface adsorption process. Vapor sorption experiments, paired with thermogravimetric and Fourier-transform infrared analyses, yielded uptake data that were fit using a Langmuir model for the surface-adsorption step of the mechanism. The water adsorption curve was designated a type IV Brunauer-Emmett-Teller isotherm, which indicated that our original hypothesis was correct. Additional work with binary solvent systems enabled us to evaluate the uptake in a range of conditions and determine that the uptake is not controlled by the vapor pressure but is instead completely dependent on the relative humidity of the system.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide an ideal platform for the assembly of chromophores and thus show wide potential applications in optoelectronic devices. The spatial arrangement and interaction of the incorporated chromophores play a key role in the generation of coherent optical and electronic properties. In this work, two series of benzo-(1,2;3,4;5,6)-tristhiophene (BTT) based Ln-MOFs (Ln-1s and Ln-2s) were synthesized. These two series of MOFs present different assembly states of BTT chromophores, that is, BTT-containing ligands exist as separated monomers in Ln-1s but gather as dimers in Ln-2s. From the comparison between these two series of MOFs and theoretical calculations, we show for the first time that this chromophore assembly state difference could affect the crystallization selectivity of MOFs towards different Ln3+ ions. In addition, the interaction between BTT chromophores in the dimer also leads to the red-shifted photoluminescence and enhanced photocurrent of Ln-2s relative to those of Ln-1s. The results of this work demonstrate the multiple functions of interchromophoric interactions in the structures and optoelectronic properties of MOFs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, offer an effective template for polymerisation of polymers with precisely controlled structures within the sub-nanometre scales. However, synthetic difficulties such as monomer infiltration, detailed understanding of polymerisation mechanisms within the MOF nanochannels and the mechanism for removing the MOF template post polymerisation have prevented wide scale implementation of polymerisation in MOFs. This is partly due to the significant lack in understanding of the energetic and atomic-scale intermolecular interactions between the monomers and the MOFs. Consequently in this study, we explore the interaction of varied concentration of styrene, and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), at the surface and in the nanochannel of Zn2(1,4-ndc)2 (dabco), where 1,4-ndc = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate and dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane. Our results showed that the interactions between monomers are stronger in the nanochannels than at the surfaces of the MOF. Moreover, the MOF-monomer interactions are strongest in the nanochannels and increase with the number of monomers. However, as the number of monomers increases, the monomers turn to bind more strongly at the surface leading to a potential agglomeration of the monomers at the surface.

Abstract
Understanding the effect of charge transfer on the physical properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is essential for designing multifunctional MOF materials. In this work, three redox-active tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-based MOFs, formulated as [Co6L6(bpe)6(EtOH)2(MeOH)2(H2O)]n·5nH2O (1), [Co5(μ3-OH)2L4(bpe)2]n (2), and [CoL(bpa)(H2O)]n·2nH2O (3) (L = dimethylthio-tetrathiafulvalene-bicarboxylate, bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene, bpa = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane), are crystallographically characterized. Complexes 1 and 3 are two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers, and 2 features an unusual three-dimensional (3D) MOF. The structure of 2 contains a cluster chain constructed from μ2-O bridged pentanuclear cluster subunits, which is first found for 3D MOFs. Complexes 1 and 2 are comprised of the same ligands L and bpe but with different multidimensional configuration, and complexes 1 and 3 have the same 2D layered structures with the same ligand L but with different conjugation ligand bpe/bpa, which provide a good comparison for the structure-property relationship. The charge-transfer (CT) interactions within MOF 1 are stronger than those of 2 due to the closer packing of electron donor (D) L and electron acceptor (A) bpe in 1, and no CT occurs within MOF 3 because of the unconjugated bpa. The order of photocurrent density is 1 > 2 ≫ 3, which is in accordance with that of CT interactions. Further analysis reveals that the CT interactions within the MOF are not beneficial for the supercapacitance which is verified by the highest supercapacitance performance of 3. This work is the first study of the structures and CT effects on the supercapacitance performance.

Abstract
In search of multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), redox-active donors and acceptors, namely, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), were concomitantly used as skeletal components with diamagnetic metal nodes (Cd and Zn) to construct unique framework materials. Six isostructural frameworks were synthesized by diffusion of metal salts, TTF(py)4, and either paramagnetic Li(TCNQ) or diamagnetic H2TCNQ. They were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FT-IR and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, and their physical properties were studied, including two postsynthetic modifications involving crystal-to-crystal transformations following a solid-solution reaction with I2. The highly colored crystals of two isostructural Zn and Cd frameworks contain undulating Cd-TTF(py)4 layers entwined with TCNQ in a chicken-wire net as part of the skeleton of the MOF as well as TCNQ intercalated within the channels, while nitrate anions are occluded within the cavities formed by the pyridine moieties. Reaction with I2 replaces each intercalated TCNQ•- within the channels with I3-. The optical properties and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra indicate the presence of only radical TCNQ•- in the parent compounds, while the magnetic susceptibilities enabled an estimation of the amount of TCNQ•- ( S = 1/2) leading to almost paramagnetic behavior. Solid-state electrochemistry provides evidence of several one-electron redox states corresponding to the electroactive cores.

Abstract
Benzothienobenzothiophene (BTBT) and derivatives have received increasing attention as organic field-effect transistor materials and molecular conductors. This report presents the first synthesis of metal complexes involving a BTBT moiety, which was achieved by complexation of 2,2'-bipyridyl complexes of Pt(ii) and Pd(ii) with dihydroxy-substituted BTBT (1) as a new π-extended catecholato ligand (tBu2Bpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-dipyridyl). The resulting complexes M(tBu2Bpy)(O2BTBT) (M = Pt (3Pt) and Pd (3Pd)) were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and cyclic voltammetry. The electron donating ability of BTBT was substantially enhanced upon including two oxygen substituents followed by metal coordination. This enabled chemical oxidation of 3Pt and 3Pd with a mild chemical oxidant (ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate) and formation of the one-electron-oxidized state. While 3Pt and 3Pd exhibited an absorption band originating from a catecholate → Bpy ligand-to-ligand charge transfer transition typical of this class of catecholato complexes, the radical cations exhibited a unique π-π* intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) transition absorption in which the π and π* orbitals were the newly incorporated benzothienothiophene-based donor and semiquinonato-based acceptor, respectively. The BTBT+ skeleton was electronically divided into two sites by the present chemical modification. The ICT properties of the complexes were found to be modulated by varying the metal ions. These findings offer a new approach to molecular design for (semi)conducting materials using optical properties.

Abstract
Since the first studies of luminescent sensors based on metal organic frameworks (MOFs) about ten years ago, there has been an increased interest in the development of specific sensors towards cations, anions, explosives, small molecules, solvents, etc. However, the detection of toxic compounds related to agro-industry and nuclear activity is noticeably scarce or even non-existent. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of luminescent lanthanide-based MOFs (Ln-MOFs) with diverse crystalline architectures obtained by solvothermal methods. The luminescent properties of the lanthanides, and the hypersensitive transitions of Eu3+ (5D0→7F2) and Tb3+ (5D4→7F5) intrinsically found in the obtained MOFs in particular, were evaluated and employed as chemical sensors for agrochemical and cationic species. The limit of detection (LOD) of Tb-PSA MOFs (PSA = 2-phenylsuccinate) was 2.9 ppm for [UO22+] and 5.6 ppm for [Cu2+]. The variations of the 4f–4f spectral lines and the quenching/enhancement effects of the Ln-MOFs in the presence of the analytes were fully analyzed and discussed in terms of a combinatorial “host–guest” vibrational and “in-silico” interaction studies.

NH3 is a valuable chemical with a wide range of applications, but the conventional Haber-Bosch process for industrial-scale NH3 production is highly energy-intensive with serious greenhouse gas emission. Electrochemical reduction offers an environmentally benign and sustainable route to convert N2 to NH3 at ambient conditions, but its efficiency depends greatly on identifying earth-abundant catalysts with high activity for the N2 reduction reaction. Here, it is reported that MnO particles act as a highly active catalyst for electrocatalytic hydrogenation of N2 to NH3 with excellent selectivity. In 0.1 m Na2SO4, this catalyst achieves a high Faradaic efficiency up to 8.02% and a NH3 yield of 1.11 × 10-10 mol s-1 cm-2 at -0.39 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, with great electrochemical and structural stability. On the basis of density functional theory calculations, MnO (200) surface has a smaller adsorption energy toward N than that of H with the *N2 → *N2H transformation being the potential-determining step in the nitrogen reduction reaction.

Abstract
Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives as promising hole transport materials in assembling hybrid halide perovskite solar cells have attracted great attention; however, electron transfer or charge-transfer (CT) between TTF and metal halides has been studied with less detail at the molecular level. Using molecular models, we herein report four new TTF-bismuth-halides assembled by methylated or protonated bis(4'-pyridyl)-tetrathiafulvalene cations, (MePy)2TTF or (HPy)2TTF, and bismuth-halide anions. Single crystal analysis showed that the cations are stacked to form a TTF column, and the bismuth-halide anions are inlaid between the TTF columns with anion-cation interactions. In these compounds, the main contribution to CT is the intracation CT, namely intramolecular CT (IMCT) from TTF moiety to pyridinium group. However, the anion to cation CT (ACCT) has a significant effect on the IMCT and physical properties. The different anion-cation interaction modes result in different synergistic effects of IMCT and ACCT, which modified the band gaps and photocurrent properties of the hybrids. The research gives a clear image of structure-property relationship and provides a perspective on the design of new perovskite materials at the molecular level.
