Abstract
A vast variety of chemical compounds have been fabricated and commercialized, they not only result in industrial exposure during manufacturing and usage, but also have environmental impacts throughout their whole life cycle. Consequently, attempts to assess the risk of chemicals in terms of toxicology have never ceased. In-silico toxicology, also known as predictive toxicology, has advanced significantly over the last decade as a result of the drawbacks of experimental investigations. In this study, ProTox-III was applied to predict the toxicity of the ligands used for metal-organic framework (MOF) design and synthesis. Initially, 35 ligands, that have been frequently utilized for MOF synthesis and fabrication, were selected. Subsequently, canonical simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) of ligands were extracted from the PUBCHEM database and inserted into the ProTox-III online server. Ultimately, webserver outputs including LD50 and the probability of toxicological endpoints (cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, immunotoxicity, and ecotoxicity) were obtained and organized. According to retrieved LD50 data, the safest ligand was 5-hydroxyisophthalic. In contrast, the most hazardous ligand was 5-chlorobenzimidazole, with an LD50 of 8 mg/kg. Among evaluated endpoints, ecotoxicity was the most active and was detected in several imidazolate ligands. This data can open new horizons in design and development of green MOFs.

Abstract
Microbial infections, particularly those caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens, pose a critical global health threat. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), porous crystalline structures built from metal ions and organic linkers, initially developed for gas adsorption, have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics. This review, covering research up to 2023, explores the potential of MOFs and MOF-based materials as broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even parasites. It delves into the historical context of antimicrobial agents, recent advancements in MOF research, and the diverse synthesis techniques employed for their production. Furthermore, the review comprehensively analyzes the mechanisms of action by which MOFs combat various microbial threats. By highlighting the vast potential of MOFs, their diverse synthesis methods, and their effectiveness against various pathogens, this study underscores their potential as a novel solution to the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
The identification of firearms is of paramount importance for investigating crimes involving firearms, as it establishes the link between a particular firearm and firearm-related elements found at a crime scene, such as projectiles and cartridge cases. This identification relies on the visual comparison of such elements against reference samples from suspect firearms or those existing in databases. Whenever this approach is not possible, the chemical analysis of the gunpowder and gunshot residue can provide additional information that may assist in establishing a link between samples retrieved at a crime scene and those from a suspect or in the identification of the corresponding model and manufacturer of the ammunition used. The most commonly used method for the chemical analysis of gunshot residue is scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray, which focuses on the inorganic elements present in ammunition formulation, particularly heavy metals. However, a change in the legal paradigm is pushing changes in these formulations to remove heavy metals due to their potential for environmental contamination and the health hazards they represent. For this reason, the importance of the analysis of organic compounds is leading to the adoption of a different set of analytical methodologies, mostly based on spectroscopy and chromatography. This manuscript reviews the constitution of primer and gunpowder formulations and the analytical methods currently used for detecting, characterising, and identifying their compounds. In addition, this contribution also explores how the information provided by these methodologies can be used in ammunition identification and how it is driving the development of novel applications within forensic ballistics.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has been deemed a global crisis that affects humans worldwide. Novel anti-infection strategies are desperately needed because of the limitations of conventional antibiotics. However, the increasing gap between clinical demand and antimicrobial treatment innovation, as well as the membrane permeability obstacle especially in gram-negative bacteria fearfully restrict the reformation of antibacterial strategy. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have the advantages of adjustable apertures, high drug-loading rates, tailorable structures, and superior biocompatibilities, enabling their utilization as drug delivery carriers in biotherapy applications. Additionally, the metal elements in MOFs are usually bactericidal. This article provides a review of the state-of-The-art design, the underlying antibacterial mechanisms and antibacterial applications of MOF- and MOF-based drug-loading materials. In addition, the existing problems and future perspectives of MOF- and MOF-based drug-loading materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Countless people have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic on a global scale. Favipiravir, has shown potential as an effective drug for SARS-CoV-2, attracting scientists' attention. However, overuse of Favipiravir easily leads to serious side effects, requiring real-time monitoring in body fluids. Given this, a new lanthanide metal-organic framework (MOF) was prepared under solvothermal conditions from either Eu (Eu-MOF or (1)) or Tb (Tb-MOF or (2)) using the highly delocalized imidazoledicarboxylic acid linker H2 L (H2 L=5-(4-(imidazol-1-yl) phenyl) isophthalic acid) and could be successfully applied to selective optical detection of Favipiravir. In this MOF framework, the organic linker H2 L provides a high excitation energy transfer efficiency that can sensitize luminescence in lanthanides. In addition, through deliberate tuning of Eu/Tb molar ratio and reaction concentration in the lanthanide framework, ratiometric recyclable luminescent Eux Tb1-x -MOF nanoparticles with open metal sites have been constructed, which present a high detection sensitivity (Ksv =1×107 [M-1 ], detection limit is 4.63 nM) for Favipiravir. The detection mechanism is discussed with the help of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations that sheds light over the selective sensing of Favipiravir over other related COVID-19 drug candidates. Finally, to explore the practical application of Favipiravir sensing, MOF based thin films have been used for visual detection of Favipiravir and recycled 5 times.

Abstract
Beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptide is one of the main characteristic biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous clinical investigations have proposed that unusual concentrations of this biomarker in cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and brain tissue are closely associated with the AD progression. Therefore, the critical point of early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of AD is to monitor the levels of Aβ. In view of the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for diagnosing and treating the AD, much attention has been focused in recent years. This review discusses the latest advances in the applications of MOFs for the early diagnosis of AD via fluorescence and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of AD biomarkers, fluorescence detection of the main metal ions in the brain (Zn2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Fe3+, and Al3+) in addition to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the Aβ plaques. The current challenges and future strategies for translating the in vitro applications of MOFs into in vivo diagnosis of the AD are discussed.

Abstract
Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) have attracted extensive attention because of their structural adjustability and wide optical function applications. However, MOFs with a wide linear pH response and stable framework structures in acidic or alkaline solutions are rare to date. Here, we used 4,4',4″-s-triazine-2,4,6-triyltribenzoate (H3TATB) as an organic ligand, coordinated with lanthanide ions (Eu3+/Tb3+), and synthesized a new metal-organic framework material. The material has a porous three-dimensional square framework structure and emits bright red or green fluorescence under 365 nm UV light. The carboxyl group of the ligand is prone to protonation in an acidic environment, and negatively charged OH- and ligand (TATB3-) have a competitive effect in an alkaline environment, which could affect the coordination ability of ligand. The luminescence degree of the framework decreases with the increase in the degree of acid and base. In particular, such fluorescence changes have a wide linear response (pH = 0-14), which can be used as a potential fluorescence sensing material for pH detection.

Abstract
The effective use of a europium metal-organic framework (Eu-MOF) as a photoabsorber material has been reported. Using the advantages of Eu-MOFs including simple preparation, wide bandgap structure, and stability in the environment, a self-powered and high UVC-selectivity detector based on Eu-MOF nanoparticles was prepared with a simple device geometry. The as-fabricated photodetector was highly sensitive to 254 nm UV illumination without an external power supply. Accordingly, it exhibited a high UVC-to-UVA rejection ratio (I254/I365 ≈ 40) and UVC-to-solar rejection ratio (I254/Isolar light ≈ 34), a fast response time of 98/122 ms, a comparable on/off photocurrent ratio (107.33), and superior stability. The self-powered Eu-MOF photodetector can detect and monitor UV emission from an invisible fire in an early state at room temperature, suggesting practical use as a potential optoelectronic device.

Abstract
Understanding the toxicity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is important for improving their biocompatibility in further applications, especially the hematotoxicity of MOFs due to the unavoidable contact of MOFs with blood in biomedical science. Here we report the hematotoxicity and underlying mechanisms of nano-sized zeolite-like MOFs ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 because of their wide applications in biomedical science. ZIF-67 induced significant hemolysis of red blood cell (Rb) through breaking the structure of membrane due to the generation of free radicals, whereas ZIF-8 was hematocompatible. ZIF-67 was thus internalized by Rb and then bound with hemoglobin via hydrogen bond and van der Waals force, which influenced the structure and function of hemoglobin in accompany with heme release. These findings reveal the detailed mechanism of the hematological effects of MOFs on Rb and are helpful to the assessment of the toxicity and potential health risks of MOFs and the design of biosafe MOFs for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The efficiency of using small, non-lanthanide and readily available molecules was tested as luminescent markers for gunshot residue (GSR) analysis. Three luminophores, namely pyrene (Py), fluorescein (Fl) and a Pt-CNN complex (Pt-C) were used in the present study by using their 5 wt% additives to gunpowder filled in a cartridge followed by firing with a 9 mm pistol. The easy visualization of GSR location, collection of GSR samples followed by their identification through various characterization techniques and the possibility of strategically using these markers as a cost-effective alternative compared to any lanthanide material were evaluated through this work. The comparison of physical mixture of marker and gunpowder and surface soaked gunpowder with the same marker (Py) was also evaluated. Spectroscopic (Optical, Luminescence and Raman), Microscopic, Spectrometric (Mass) and thermal analysis (Differential Scanning Calorimetry, DSC) of the marker, gunpowder and GSR residues implies that both the dyes and gunpowder retains their individual properties and those are merely a physical mixture. Overall, the present study clearly demonstrates that these small organic/metal complex based luminophores are cost effective luminescent marker as compared to lanthanide materials for GSR detection / collection and can be strategically use to track the illegal / unauthorized use of gunpowder.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to improve engineering and synthetic chemistry, either through the use of eco-friendly starting materials or the proper design of novel synthesis routes. This reduces the contamination of toxic chemicals and helps the disposal of organic dyes. In the current work, a metal–organic framework-based Sr(ii) was fabricated to achieve the desired goal for dye removal and catalysis. Sr-MOF-based phosphotungstic acid (PWA/Sr-MOF) was hydrothermally synthesized to study its adsorption and catalytic activities. Remarkably, about 99.9% of crystal violet (CV) dye was removed using PWA/Sr-MOF within 90 min at room temperature. Various factors have been studied to investigate the optimum conditions such as pH of solution, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity of CV dye was reached after 90 min and well fitted the pseudo-second kinetic order and Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Coumarin and xanthene reactions were chosen to test the catalytic activity of the prepared PWA/Sr-MOF at 373 K. Furthermore, structural and chemical characterization of the fabricated samples was obtained using FT-IR, XRD, TGA, DTA, TEM, EDX, and XPS. PWA/Sr-MOF can be considered as a promising and green framework in the material design used to study catalytic and adsorption performances. There is an urgent need to improve engineering and synthetic chemistry, either through the use of eco-friendly starting materials or the proper design of novel synthesis routes.![]()

Zhao L, Song X, Ren X, Wang H, Fan D, Wu D, Wei Q. Ultrasensitive near-infrared electrochemiluminescence biosensor derived from Eu-MOF with antenna effect and high efficiency catalysis of specific CoS 2 hollow triple shelled nanoboxes for procalcitonin. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 191:113409. [PMID: 34146971 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, we report a novel multiple amplification strategy for ultrasensitive near-infrared electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay in K2S2O8 solution. The realization of this strategy is based on the antenna effect of Eu-MOF (EuBTC) and a high efficiency catalysis of CoS2 hollow triple shelled nanoboxes (TSNBs). The H3BTC ligand in the antenna effect first undergoes π-π* absorption and a singlet-singlet electronic transition. Its energy passes through the intersystem to the triplet state, next transfers from the lowest excited triplet state to the vibrational energy level of the rare earth ion, finally realizing sensitizing center ion luminescence. Moreover, ionic reaction and structural advantages endow CoS2 TSNBs a dual signal enhancement effect. This sandwich-type ECL biosensor has a near-infrared luminescence in 800-900 nm, thus avoiding damage to the sample in the meantime. In practical diagnosis, the normal critical value of procalcitonin (PCT) (<0.5 ng/mL) is much higher than the detection limit (3.65 fg/mL) and is in the detection range (10 fg/mL-100 ng/mL), which means that the ECL biosensor has a high sensitivity in the detection of PCT and meet the requirement for diagnosis of disease completely. Therefore, the strategy provides a feasible method for efficient and stable analysis of systemic inflammatory response such as fearful bacterial infection, hepatitis B, and peritonitis.

Abstract
A highly porous adsorbent based on a metal-organic framework was successfully designed and applied as an innovative adsorbent in the solid phase for the heavy metal removal. MIL-125 was densely decorated by 2-imino-4-thiobiuret functional groups, which generated a green, rapid, and efficacious adsorbent for the uptake of Hg(ii) and Pb(ii) from aqueous solutions. ITB-MIL-125 showed a high adsorption affinity toward mercury(ii) ions of 946.0 mg g-1 due to covalent bond formation with accessible sulfur-based functionality. Different factors were studied, such as the initial concentration, pH, contact time, and competitive ions, under same circumstances at the room temperature. Moreover, the experimental adsorption data were in excellent agreement with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics. At a high concentration of 100 ppm mixture of six metals, ITB-MIL-125 exhibited a high adsorption capacity, reaching more than 82% of Hg(ii) compared to 62%, 30%, 2%, 1.9%, and 1.6% for Pb(ii), Cu(ii), Cd(ii), Ni(ii), and Zn(ii), respectively.

Abstract
Controlled synthesis of rare-earth metal-organic frameworks (RE-MOFs) is of great significance to match their emerging multifunctional luminescence applications. Herein, we propose a green and general solvent-free synthetic strategy for the adjustment of morphology and dimension of various RE-MOFs (RE = Eu, Tb, Er, Dy, Y, Tm) by using a tetraethylammonium bromide-assisted thermal-heating method. These self-assembled RE-MOF materials possess controllable morphologies and hierarchical structures while retaining the structural topology of MIL-78, proving that the strategy is a feasible and effective way in opening up large-scale synthesis of RE-MOFs. It is further found that the tetraethylammonium could be carbonized into carbon dots and encapsulated in Eu/Tb-MIL-78 to enhance the fluorescence emission intensities significantly, making the hierarchical Eu/Tb-MIL-78 MOF materials good candidates for the latent fingerprints recognition application. This work provides a novel strategy for effectively controlling the morphology and dimension of RE-MOFs materials with enhanced photoluminescence and has great potential in their scaling-up syntheses and exploring the new luminescence applications.

Abstract
The metal-organic framework (MOF) [Eu(DPA)(HDPA)] (where DPA is dipicolinic acid) has been previously reported as an efficient marker for gunshot residues (GSRs). Since this marker will be in contact with various shooters, industrial workers, and the environment, however, it is important to identify its toxicity. In this work, the oral and the inhalation acute toxicities of the MOF [Eu(DPA)(HDPA)] (also called R-Marker) were evaluated in young Wistar rats using Guidelines 423 (oral) and 436 (inhalation) from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Animal behavior; body weight, water, and food intake; and organ weight, as well as biochemical parameters were evaluated in both evaluations. For the inhalation test, a concentration of 1 mg·Lair-1·(4 h-1) was reached in a whole-body inhalation chamber. When the respiratory tract was analyzed, it was observed that part of the marker had been swallowed instead of inhaled by the animal. For the oral test, the highest administrated dose was 2000 mg/kg with no sign of toxicity. This marker has been classified in the least toxic category of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS; category 5), with an oral median lethal dose (LD50) of 5000 mg/kg. After the oral administration, the feces of the animals were collected using a metabolic cage. Luminescent feces were present up to 24 h after administration, indicating that the marker had been excreted by the organism without causing intoxication. This study has opened perspectives for drug delivery and toxicity studies, since it enables visual detection of the marker.

Abstract
The adsorption and release of two drugs 5FU (5-fluorouracil) and CAF (caffeine) into and from the ZIF-8 framework were simulated by the Gibbs-ensemble Monte Carlo approach employing two models for representing the sorbent: one without surface (ZIF-8P) and another with surface (ZIF-8S). The inner pores of ZIF-8S were inaccessible to the drugs, but accessible to the solvents (methanol or water). The ZIF-8P model is not recommended to describe the actual sorption processes because it lacks surface and solvent effects, which are reflected in the poor quantitative agreement with experimental results. The ZIF-8S model yielded results for the sorption of CAF in very close agreement with the experimental loading from methanol solution and release of the drug into water. For 5FU, the computer simulations provided qualitative agreements, which suggests that the sorbent-5FU interaction potentials should be improved. The excellent performance of the ZIF-8S model is due to its adequate description of the surface and by exposing adsorption sites such as undercoordinated zinc ions to interactions with large molecules. This was achieved by applying periodic conditions to a ZIF-8 nanocrystal, instead of an elementary cell, which is easy to generalize and used to describe several surface defects. Furthermore, the combination of this ZIF-8S model with the Monte Carlo method provides a very simple and efficient approach to simulate the inaccessibility of the ZIF-8 inner porosity to large molecules. Namely, any trial moves that inserted the drug within the pore were disregarded. This is a quite simple and general approach that can be promptly applied to a large number of MOF sorbents and of drugs that cannot access the inner pores.

Abstract
An adsorbent-heater-thermometer nanomaterial, (ZIF-8,EuxTby)@AuNP, based on ZIF-8 (adsorbent), containing Eu3+ and/or Tb3+ ions (thermometer) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs, heater) was designed, synthetized, characterized, and applied to controlled drug release. These composite materials were characterized as core-shell nanocrystals with the AuNPs being the core, around which the crystalline ZIF-8 has grown (shell) and onto which the lanthanide ions have been incorporated or chemosorbed. This shell of ZIF-8 acts as adsorbent of the drugs, the AuNPs act as heaters, while the luminescence intensities of the ligand and the lanthanide ions are used for temperature monitoring. This thermo-responsive material can be activated by visible irradiation to release small molecules in a controlled manner as established for the model pharmaceutical compounds 5-fluorouracil and caffeine. Computer simulations and transition state theory calculations shown that the diffusion of small molecules between neighboring pores in ZIF-8 is severely restricted and involves high-energy barriers. These findings imply that these molecules are uploaded onto and released from the ZIF-8 surface instead of being inside the cavities. This is the first report of ZIF-8 nanocrystals (adsorbents) containing simultaneously lanthanide ions as sensitive nanothermometers and AuNPs as heaters for controlled drug release in a physiological temperature range. These results provide a proof-of-concept that can be applied to other classes of materials, and offer a novel perspective on the design of self-assembly multifunctional thermo-responsive adsorbing materials that are easily prepared and promptly controllable.
