Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show remarkable potential in a broad array of applications given their physical and chemical versatility. Classical synthesis of MOFs is performed using solution chemistry at elevated temperatures to achieve reversible metal-ligand bond formation. These harsh conditions may not be suitable for chemical species sensitive to high temperature or prone to deleterious reactions with solvents. For instance, Pd(ii) is susceptible to reduction under solvothermal conditions and is not a common metal node of MOFs. We report a generic and facile mechanochemical strategy that directly incorporates a series of Pd(ii)-based heterobimetallic clusters into MOFs as metal nodes without Pd(ii) being reduced to Pd(0). Mechanochemistry features advantages of short reaction time, minimum solvent, high reaction yield, and high degree of synthetic control. Catalytic performances of lattice-confined heterobimetallic sites are examined for nitrene transfer reactions and we demonstrate that the chemoselectivity for allylic amination versus olefin aziridination is readily tuned by the identity of the first-row metal ion in Pd(ii)-based heterobimetallic clusters.

Abstract
MIL-53 represents one of the most notable metal-organic frameworks given its unique structural flexibility and remarkable thermal stability. In this study, a shaker-type ball milling method has been developed into a facile and generalizable synthetic strategy to access a family of MIL-53 type materials under ambient conditions. During the explorations of [M(OH)(fumarate)] (M = Al, Ga, and In), we report a positive correlation between the metal-ligand (M-L) bond reversibility and the size of resultant crystallites under the mechanochemical process. The more kinetically labile the M-L bond is, the larger the afforded crystallite size is.

Abstract
While zinc μ4-oxido-centered complexes are widely used as versatile precursors and building units of functional materials, the synthesis of their analogues based on other transition metals is highly underdeveloped. Herein, we present the first efficient systematic approach for the synthesis of homometallic [M4(μ4-O)L6]-type clusters incorporating divalent transition-metal centers, coated by bridging monoanionic organic ligands. As a proof of concept, we prepared a series of charge-neutral metal-oxido benzamidates, [M4(μ4-O) (NHCOPh)6] (M = Fe, Co, Zn), including iron(II) and cobalt(II) clusters not accessible before. The resulting complexes were characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Detailed structural analysis showed interesting self-assembly of the tetrahedral clusters into 2D honeycomb-like supramolecular layers driven by hydrogen bonds in the proximal secondary coordination sphere. Moreover, we modeled the magnetic properties of new iron (II) and cobalt (II) clusters, which display a general tendency for antiferromagnetic coupling of the μ4-O/μ-benzamidate-bridged metal centers. The developed synthetic procedure is potentially easily extensible to other M(II)-oxido systems, which will likely pave the way to new oxido clusters with interesting optoelectronic and self-assembly properties and, as a result, will allow for the development of new functional materials not achievable before.

From a Well-Defined Organozinc Precursor to Diverse Luminescent Coordination Polymers Based on Zn(II)-Quinolinate Building Units Interconnected by Mixed Ligand Systems. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26237402.

Abstract
Introduction of photoactive building blocks into mixed-ligand coordination polymers appears to be a promising way to produce new advanced luminescent materials. However, rational design and self-assembly of the multi-component supramolecular systems is challenging from both a conceptual and synthetic perspective. Here, we report exploratory studies that investigate the potential of [Zn(q)2]2[tBuZn(OH)]2 complex (q = deprotonated 8-hydroxyquinoline) as an organozinc precursor as well as a mixed-ligand synthetic strategy for the preparation of new luminescent coordination polymers (CPs). As a result we present three new 2D mixed-ligand Zn(II)-quinolinate coordination polymers which are based on various zinc quinolinate secondary building units interconnected by two different organic linker types, i.e., deprotonated 4,4'-oxybisbenzoic acid (H2obc) as a flexible dicarboxylate linker and/or selected bipyridines (bipy). Remarkably, using the title organozinc precursors in a combination with H2obc and 4,4'-bipyridine, a novel molecular zinc quinolinate building unit, [Zn4(q)6(bipy)2(obc)2], was obtained which self-assembled into a chain-type hydrogen-bonded network. The application of the organometallic precursor allowed for its direct reaction with the selected ligands at ambient temperature, avoiding the use of both solvothermal conditions and additional base reagents. In turn, the reaction involving Zn(NO3)2, as a classical inorganic precursor, in a combination with H2obc and bipy led to a novel 1D coordination polymer [Zn2(q)2(NO3)2(bipy)]. While the presence of H2obc was essential for the formation of this coordination polymer, this ditopic linker was not incorporated into the isolated product, which indicates its templating behavior. The reported compounds were characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis as well as UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived materials have been widely applied to diversified fields until now due to their flexible processibility. Different kinds of suitable materials can be synthesized by varying MOF templates/precursors and synthesis methods. An appropriate method can skillfully fabricate the materials with excellent performance while meeting the environmentally friendly concept. In this work, a green and flexible grinding method was introduced to synthesize MOF-derived FeNiCo trimetallic materials without solvent-assistance, in which Co-ZIF-L was selected as a sacrificial precursor and Fe3+ and Ni2+ as etchants and dopants. Surprisingly, the as-prepared FeNiCo ternary hydroxides supported on Ni foam (G-FeNi-Co-ZIF-L/NF) showed superior electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a low overpotential of 248 mV at 10 mA cm-2 . This work provides a prospective approach to synthesize various MOF-derived multi-metallic materials, which also opens the door for syntheses of OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Biomacromolecular drugs have become an important class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of human diseases. Considering their high propensity for being degraded in the human body, the choice of an appropriate delivery system is key to ensure the therapeutic efficacy of biomacromolecular drugs in vivo. As an emerging class of supramolecular "host" materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit advantages in terms of the tunability of pore size, encapsulation efficiency, controllable drug release, simplicity in surface functionalization and good biocompatibility. As a result, MOF-based host-guest systems have been extensively developed as a new class of flexible and powerful platform for the delivery of therapeutic biomacromolecules. In this review, we summarize current research progress in the synthesis of MOFs as delivery materials for a variety of biomacromolecules. Firstly, we briefly introduce the advances made in the use of biomacromolecular drugs for disease therapy and the types of commonly used clinical delivery systems. We then describe the advantages of using MOFs as delivery materials. Secondly, the strategies for the construction of MOF-encapsulated biomacromolecules (Biomacromolecules@MOFs) and the release mechanisms of the therapeutics are categorized. Thirdly, the application of MOFs to deliver different types of biomacromolecules (e.g., antigens/antibodies, enzymes, therapeutic proteins, DNA/RNA, polypeptides, and polysaccharides) for the treatment of various human diseases based on immunotherapy, gene therapy, starvation therapy and oxidation therapy is summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and available opportunities for MOFs as drug delivery systems are outlined, which we anticipate will encourage additional research efforts directed towards developing Biomacromolecules@MOFs systems for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Metal-oxo clusters can serve as directional and rigid building units of coordination and noncovalent supramolecular assemblies. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of their multi-faceted chemistry is vital for the development of self-assembled solid-state structures of desired properties. Here we present a comprehensive comparative structural analysis of isostructural benzoate, benzamidate, and new benzamidinate zinc-oxo clusters incorporating the [O,O]-, [O,NH]- and [NH,NH]-anchoring donor centers, respectively. We demonstrated that the NH groups in the proximal secondary coordination sphere are prone to the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which affects the packing of clusters in the crystal structure. Coordination sphere engineering can lead to the rational design of new catalytic sites and novel molecular building units of supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
Mechanochemistry provides an efficient, but still poorly understood route to synthesize and screen for polymorphs of organic solids. We present a hitherto unexplored effect of the milling assembly on the polymorphic outcome of mechanochemical cocrystallisation, tentatively related to the efficiency of mechanical energy transfer to the milled sample. Previous work on mechanochemical cocrystallisation has established that introducing liquid or polymer additives to milling systems can be used to direct polymorphic behavior, leading to extensive studies how the amount and nature of grinding additive affect reaction outcome and polymorphism. Here, focusing on a model pharmaceutical cocrystal of nicotinamide and adipic acid, we demonstrate that changes to the choice of milling media (i.e. number and material of milling balls) and/or the choice of milling assembly (i.e. jar material) can be used to direct polymorphism of mechanochemical cocrystallisation, enabling the selective synthesis, and even reversible and repeatable interconversion of cocrystal polymorphs. While real-time mechanistic studies of mechanochemical transformations of metal–organic materials have previously suggested that reactions follow a path described by Ostwald's rule of stages, i.e. from metastable to increasingly more stable product structures, the herein presented systematic study presents an exception to that rule, revealing that modification of energy input in the mechanochemical system, combined with a small energy difference between polymorphs, permits the selective synthesis of either the more stable room temperature form, or the new metastable high-temperature form, of the target cocrystal. The choice of milling assembly (jar and ball material, number and size of balls) can be used to direct polymorphism in mechanochemical cocrystallisation, enabling the selective synthesis, and even reversible interconversion of cocrystal polymorphs.![]()

Abstract
![]()
The
layered 2D MOFs, owing to their enhanced flexibility and tunability,
have recently emerged as a promising alternative to the 3D microporous
MOFs in the quest for novel responsive functional materials. However,
maintaining the simultaneous control over self-assembly of molecular
building blocks as well as ordered stacking of MOF layers poses a
significant synthetic challenge. We report on the controlled 2D MOF
formation based on a case study of solvent-templated growth of a series
of 2D Cu(II)–carboxylate MOFs varying in stacking modes and
distances using a diffusion-controlled MOF deposition approach in
various solvent mixtures. Moreover, we demonstrate the structural
dynamics of the developed 2D MOFs involving both in-plane and out-of-plane
movements of the individual 2D layers triggered by solvent exchange,
which allowed for selective postsynthetic transformations between
the developed 2D MOFs. We also investigated the gas adsorption properties
of the developed MOFs, which demonstrates a remarkable crystal size
effect on the N2 adsorption capacity using a model 2D MOF
system. A room temperature diffusion-based approach
has been used
to prepare a new family of 2D MOFs based on Cu2+ paddlewheel
clusters and bifunctional fluorinated carboxylate linkers. The stacking
distance and geometry of the MOF layers was depending on the solvent
mixture used. Remarkably, the developed 2D materials could be postsynthetically
transformed into one another by solvent exchange, which was selectively
controlled by the type of guest molecules involved.

Abstract
We present a rapid and readily scalable methodology for the mechanosynthesis of diverse metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the absence of milling media typically required for other types of mechanochemical syntheses. We demonstrate the use of liquid-assisted resonant acoustic mixing (LA-RAM) methodology for the synthesis of three- and two-dimensional MOFs based on Zn(ii), Co(ii) and Cu(ii), including a mixed ligand system. Importantly, the LA-RAM approach also allowed the synthesis of the ZIF-L framework that has never been previously obtained in a mechanochemical environment, as well as its Co(ii) analogue. Straightforward scale-up from milligrams to at least 25 grams is demonstrated using the metastable framework ZIF-L as the model.

Abstract
Hybrid perovskites have recently received much attention in optoelectronic applications. However, hybrid perovskites are unstable in a humid environment. Mixed halide perovskites (MHPs) show enhanced stability and band-gap tunability upon engineering of their halide composition. Here, MHPs are prepared through a solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis (MCS) route that allows superior control over halide compositions than the solvent synthesis routes (SS). The MCS route eliminates the problem in the preparation of MAPb(Ix Br1-x )3 with continuously varying x, while maintaining the material properties and suppressing phase segregation present in SS routes. UV-vis absorption and X-ray diffraction patterns confirm the production of the desired pure-phase MHPs. For MAPb(Ix Br1-x )3 (0≤x≤1), with increased ratio of halide (x), the cubic phase gradually transforms into the tetragonal phase and band-gap tunability is accomplished. The MCS route for the preparation of MHPs is a very promising and efficient technique for superior control in optoelectronic properties, leading to improved control in fabrication approaches.

Abstract
We demonstrate a simple method for real-time monitoring of mechanochemical synthesis of metal–organic frameworks, by measuring changes in pressure of gas produced in the reaction. Using this manometric method to monitor the mechanosynthesis of the zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 from basic zinc carbonate reveals an intriguing feedback mechanism in which the initially formed ZIF-8 reacts with the CO2 byproduct to produce a complex metal carbonate phase, the structure of which is determined directly from powder X-ray diffraction data. We also show that the formation of the carbonate phase may be prevented by addition of excess ligand. The excess ligand can subsequently be removed by sublimation, and reused. This enables not only the synthesis but also the purification, as well as the activation of the MOF to be performed entirely without solvent. We demonstrate a simple method for real-time monitoring of mechanochemical synthesis of metal–organic frameworks, by measuring changes in pressure of gas produced in the reaction.![]()

Abstract
Para-, or 4-nitrophenol, and related nitroaromatics are broadly used compounds in industrial processes and as a result are among the most common anthropogenic pollutants in aqueous industrial effluent; this requires development of practical remediation strategies. Their catalytic reduction to the less toxic and synthetically desirable aminophenols is one strategy. However, to date, the majority of work focuses on catalysts based on precisely tailored, and often noble metal-based nanoparticles. The cost of such systems hampers practical, larger scale application. We report a facile route to bulk cobalt oxide-based materials, via a combined mechanochemical and calcination approach. Vibratory ball milling of CoCl2(H2O)6 with KOH, and subsequent calcination afforded three cobalt oxide-based materials with different combinations of CoO(OH), Co(OH)2, and Co3O4 with different crystallite domains/sizes and surface areas; Co@100, Co@350 and Co@600 (Co@###; # = calcination temp). All three prove active for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol and related aminonitrophenols. In the case of 4-nitrophenol, Co@350 proved to be the most active catalyst, therein its retention of activity over prolonged exposure to air, moisture, and reducing environments, and applicability in flow processes is demonstrated.

Abstract
Hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have emerged as excellent absorber materials for next generation solar cells owing to their simple solution-processed synthesis and high efficiency. This breakthrough in photovoltaics along with an accompanying impact in light-emitting applications prompted a renaissance of interest in the broad family of MHPs. Notably, the optoelectronic properties and the photovoltaic parameters of MHPs are highly sensitive to the adopted synthetic strategy. The preparation of MHPs has commonly relied on solution-based methods requiring elevated temperatures for homogeneity of reaction mixtures. While the solution-based approach is relatively versatile, it faces challenges such as limitations in compositional engineering of MHPs or their long-term storage among others. Therefore, there is a continuous great challenge to develop efficient synthetic strategies affording various high-quality MHP materials for numerous technological optoelectronic applications. In the past decade, mechanochemistry has appeared as a green alternative to traditional synthesis. This solid-state, re-emerging efficient synthetic methodology mediated by direct absorption of mechanical energy is growing explosively across organic and inorganic chemistry and materials science. In this Account, we describe our shared interest in the productive use of mechanical force in chemistry of MHPs, as well as assembly of the respective solar cell devices. We highlight the milestones achieved by our groups along with the seminal contributions by other groups. In particular, we demonstrate that mechanochemistry efficiently allows the formation of various phase pure hybrid lead and lead-free halide perovskite compositions (called hereafter "mechanoperovskites"). The progress in solvent-free solid-state synthesis is greatly enhanced by the integration of advanced methods of solid-state analysis like powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ss-NMR) and UV-vis spectroscopies, and we aim to illustrate this ongoing integration through appropriate examples. Furthermore, we show that thin films based on mechanoperovskites have the advantage of providing a higher degree of control of the stoichiometry and higher reproducibility, stability, and material phase purity. The impact of using powdered mechanoperovskite as a precursor for thin film formation on the electrochemical and photovoltaic properties of the solar cells is also discussed. Finally, our view of current challenges and future directions in this emerging interdisciplinary area of research is provided.
