Zhou Y, Xiong J, Wang L, Li F, Bai H, Wang S, Yang X. Multi-ligand strategy for enhanced removal of heavy metal ions by thiol-functionalized defective Zr-MOFs. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 479:135723. [PMID: 39243545 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
Given the significant global concern about heavy metal pollution, the development of effective adsorbents to capture pollutants has become an urgent issue. In this work, thiol-functionalized defective Zr-MSA-DMSA was designed by mixing 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid and mercaptosuccinic acid, which was applied for the rapid and efficient removal of M(II) (i.e., Pb(II), Hg(II), Cd(II)) from wastewater. Zr-MSA-DMSA exhibited excellent adsorption performance, and the maximum adsorption capacities for Pb(II), Hg(II), and Cd(II) were 715.2 mg g-1, 862.7 mg g-1, and 450.5 mg g-1. In actual wastewater, Zr-DMSA-MSA exhibited up to 97 % M(II) removal efficiency and excellent anti-interference ability. It also maintained good structural stability after five adsorption/regeneration cycles. Thus, the abundant oxygen vacancies and unsaturated adsorption sites on Zr-MSA-DMSA significantly improved the adsorption performance of M(II). Spectral analysis and DFT calculations confirmed that Zr-MSA-DMSA mainly relied on the coordination of sulfur and oxygen atoms, electrostatic attraction and a large number of defective sites to achieve the adsorption of M(II). Fixed bed experiments showed that Zr-MSA-DMSA exhibited a depletion time of 10500 min and a volume of 7.0 L. In summary, Zr-MSA-DMSA holds significant potential for treating heavy metal wastewater and provides potential applications for defect engineering.

Abstract
Assembly of different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into hybrid MOF-on-MOF heterostructures has been established as a promising approach to develop synergistic performances for a variety of applications. Here, we explore the performance of a MOF-on-MOF heterostructure by epitaxial growth of MIL-88B(Fe) onto UiO-66(Zr)-NH2 nanoparticles. The face-selective design and appropriate energy band structure alignment of the selected MOF constituents have permitted its application as an active heterogeneous photocatalyst for solar-driven water splitting. The composite achieves apparent quantum yields for photocatalytic overall water splitting at 400 and 450 nm of about 0.9%, values that compare much favorably with previous analogous reports. Understanding of this high activity has been gained by spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization together with scanning transmission and transmission electron microscopy (STEM, TEM) measurements. This study exemplifies the possibility of developing a MOF-on-MOF heterostructure that operates under a Z-scheme mechanism and exhibits outstanding activity toward photocatalytic water splitting under solar light.

Abstract
Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are organic-inorganic hybrid materials with exceptionally customizable composition and properties. MOFs intrinsically possess open metal sites, tunable pore size/shape and an ultra-large specific surface area, and have obtained significant attention over the past 30 years. Furthermore, through the integration of functional moieties such as, molecules, functional groups, noble metal clusters and nanocrystals or nanoparticles into MOFs, the resulting composites have greatly enriched the physical and chemical properties of pure MOFs, enabling their application in a wider range of fields. Triethylamine (TEA) as an organic base has consistently played a fundamental role in the development of MOFs. In this Concept, the versatility of triethylamine when involved in the synthesis of MOFs is discussed. Four sections are used to elaborate on the role of TEA including: (1) Single crystal synthesis; (2) Size and morphology control; (3) Counterion of MOFs; (4) MOFs composites synthesis. In the last part, we highlight the potential of TEA for further developments.

Abstract
Two dimensional iron metal-organic framework nanosheet (2D Fe MOF) was facilely synthesized at room temperature by simple stirring of iron salts and terephthalic acid ligand in a mixed solution containing triethylamine. Its morphology and structure were fully characterized by TEM, AFM, XPS and TEM element mapping. Then, its peroxidase-mimicking activity was studied by using H2O2 and 3, 3', 5, 5'- tetramethylbenzidine as substrate. Km and Vmax of 2D Fe MOF towards H2O2 were 0.02 mM and 2.08 × 10-8 M s-1, respectively. Through the formation of cascade reaction between xanthine oxidase and 2D Fe MOF, a visual method for hypoxanthine (Hx) detection was constructed to evaluate aquatic products freshness. After effective validation, this method presented wide linear range (5.0-500.0 μM), low limit of detection (3.29 μM), satisfied accuracy (recovery of 94.78-99.85%), and good selectivity. By using this method, Hx content in shrimp samples at different storage time were determined.

Abstract
Zirconium-containing metal-organic framework (MOF) with UiO-66 topology is an extremely versatile material, which finds applications beyond gas separation and catalysis. However, after more than 10 years after the first reports introducing this MOF, understanding of the molecular-level mechanism of its nucleation and growth is still lacking. By means of in situ time-resolved high-resolution mass spectrometry, Zr K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction it is showed that the nucleation of UiO-66 occurs via a solution-mediated hydrolysis of zirconium chloroterephthalates, whose formation appears to be autocatalytic. Zirconium-oxo nodes form directly and rapidly during the synthesis, the formation of pre-formed clusters and stable non-stoichiometric intermediates are not observed. The nuclei of UiO-66 possess identical to the crystals local environment, however, they lack long-range order, which is gained during the crystallization. Crystal growth is the rate-determining step, while fast nucleation controls the formation of the small crystals of UiO-66 with a narrow size distribution of about 200 nanometers.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) structures have gained significant attention for their exceptional catalytic performance in ozone degradation, even under high humidity conditions, which is attributed to the presence of unsaturated metal sites (MOF defects). However, the correlation between MOF defects and catalytic ozone remains ambiguous, and a general approach for the controllable synthesis of high-performance MOF structures is currently lacking. Herein, different defective UiO-66 materials with cluster or ligand defects were obtained by precisely controlling small molecular acid modulators. Their catalytic performance can be analyzed in real time through the specific cataluminescence (CTL) signal of ozone at the interface. The presence of ligand defects was found to be crucial for both catalytic degradation and luminescence of ozone, and the CTL signal exhibited a positive correlation with the endogenous hydroxyl group content in the material (R2 = 0.982), while external humidity further supplemented internal water molecules within the material. Furthermore, theoretical calculations were conducted to compare the adsorption behaviors of ozone on the defective UiO-66 under dry/wet conditions, leading to the proposal of two potential reaction pathways. Subsequently, UiO-66-DA with superior catalytic performance was employed to develop a highly efficient CTL sensor capable of accurately detecting ozone (LOD = 23.3 ppb). This study held significant value in elucidating the reaction site of ozone on MOFs and achieving optimal catalytic effects through the careful selection of modulators and humidity levels.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant attention as gas storage materials due to their exceptional surface areas and customizable pore chemistry. For applications in the storage of small molecules for vehicular transportation, achieving high volumetric capacities is crucial. In this study, we demonstrate the compression of UiO-66 and a series of its functionalized analogs at elevated pressures, resulting in the formation of robust pellets with significantly increased volumetric surface areas. The optimal compression pressure is found to be contingent on the specific nature of the functional group attached to the organic linker in the MOF material.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a class of catalytic nanomaterials, have shown great potential to substitute natural enzymes in various applications. Nevertheless, the pursuit of high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity in a wide pH range is one of the major challenges existing in designing nanozymes. A feasible strategy is to construct an artificial active center by using porous materials as stable supporting structures, which can actively modulate biocatalytic activities via their porous atomic structures and more active sites. Herein, a gold nanoparticles/metal-organic framework (MOF) heterostructure was prepared using UiO-66 as a stable support structure (Au NPs/UiO-66), which demonstrates enhanced peroxidase-like activity, ∼8.95 times higher than that of pure Au NPs. Strikingly, Au NPs/UiO-66 exhibits excellent stability (maintains above 80% activity at 40-70 °C and retains 93% activity after 3 months of storage) and sustained high relative activity (above 90%) over a pH range of 5.0-9.0 due to the homogeneous dispersibility of free-ligand Au NPs and the strong chemical interaction between the Au NPs and the UiO-66 host. Moreover, a colorimetric assay of ascorbic acid (AA) and three AA-related biological enzymes was developed based on Au NPs/UiO-66 nanozyme, which has a good linear detection range and excellent anti-interference ability. This work provides important guidance for the expansion of metal NPs/MOF heterostructure nanozymes and their application prospects in the development of biosensors.

Abstract
Nano-sized metal organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) have gained increasing importance in biomedicine due to their tunable properties. In addition to their use as carriers in drug delivery, nanoMOFs containing hafnium have been successfully employed as radio-enhancers augmenting damage caused by X-ray irradiation in tumor tissue. While results are encouraging, there is little mechanistic understanding available, and the biological fate of these radio-enhancer nanoparticles remains largely unexplored. Here, we synthesized a selection of group IV metal-based (Hf, Ti, Ti/Zr) nanoMOFs and investigated their cell compatibility and radio-enhancement performance in direct comparison to the corresponding metal oxides. We report surprising radio-enhancement performance of Ti-containing nanoMOFs reaching dose modifying ratios of 3.84 in human sarcoma cells and no relevant dose modification in healthy human fibroblasts. These Ti-based nanoMOFs even outperformed previously reported Hf-based nanoMOFs as well as equimolar group IV metal oxides in direct benchmarking experiments. While group IV nanoMOFs were well-tolerated by cells in the absence of irradiation, the nanoMOFs partially dissolved in lysosomal buffer conditions showing distinctly different chemical stability compared to widely researched group IV oxides (TiO2, ZrO2, and HfO2). Taken together, this study illustrates the promising potential of Ti-based nanoMOFs for radio-enhancement and provides insight into the intracellular fate and stability of group IV nanoMOFs.

Abstract
Chlorobenzene (C6H5Cl) is a flammable liquid with high vapor activity, which is a severe threat to the environment and human health. Therefore, it is essential to develop a highly efficient sensor to detect C6H5Cl vapor. Herein, we developed a UiO-66 three-dimensional photonic crystal (3D PC) optical sensor and investigated its sensing properties toward the C6H5Cl vapor. The UiO-66 3D PCs optical sensor shows a high sensitivity of C6H5Cl vapor, in the concentrations range of 0-500 ppm, the reflectance intensity response to be 0.06% ppm with a good linear relationship, detection limit can reach 1.64 ppm and the quality factor is 10.8. Additionally, the UiO-66 3D PC optical sensor demonstrated great selectivity with the values of selectivity (S) varying from 2.24 to 10.65 for the C6H5Cl vapor as compared with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), 1,1,2-trichloroethane (C2H3Cl3), benzene (C6H6), deionized water (H2O), ethanol (C2H5OH) and methyl alcohol (CH3OH) vapors. Moreover, the UiO-66 3D PC optical sensor shows an ultrafast optical response time and recovery times of 0.5 s and 0.45 s with exceptional stability and repeatability to 500 ppm C6H5Cl vapor. These excellent sensing properties are attributed to the efficacy of signal transduction, increased porosity and gas adsorption sites, which are intrinsically endowed by the design of the 3D optical structure. The design and fabrication of this UiO-66 3D PC optical sensor might open up potential applications for the detection of the C6H5Cl vapor.

Effects of microsize on the biocompatibility of UiO67 from protein-adsorption behavior, hemocompatibility, and histological toxicity. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 435:129042. [PMID: 35650723 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 04/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The biocompatibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is necessary to humans but is far from being sufficiently addressed. This study focused on the effects of microsize on the biocompatibility of MOFs by selecting UiO67 with micron and submicron size as the MOFs models. Under the dose metric of surface area, the binding constant between UiO67 and human serum albumin (HSA) gradually increased with increased UiO67 size. Submicron UiO67 induced stronger conformational transformation and more greatly affected the protein surface hydrophobicity than micron UiO67. Micron UiO67 also inhibited the esterase-like activity of HSA through competitive inhibition mechanism, whereas submicron UiO67 inhibited it through noncompetitive inhibition mechanism. The size of UiO67 had little effect on hemocompatibility. A smaller size of UiO67, corresponded with a higher IC50 value for 293 T and LO2 cells, and the adsorption of HSA can effectively improve cytotoxicity. In vivo toxicity evaluations revealed that all UiO67 did not cause obvious distortion of organs, and they were metabolized primarily in the kidney. These results provided useful information about the toxicity of MOFs and experimental references for the development of MOFs-based engineering materials.

Abstract
Herein, a novel composite material containing UiO-66 and palygorskite (Pal) clay mineral was prepared using a facile one-pot synthesis process. The material was studied using a variety of techniques and applied as did not affect the structure of the metal-organic framework (MOF) part, but induced a small increase in specific surface area. The developed Pal/UiO-66 composite presented excellent adsorption efficiency against MO removal, as evidenced by detailed kinetic and isotherm experiments. An impressive maximum adsorption capacity at equilibrium was evidenced; 340 mg g−1 at pH = 5 and T = 25 °C. This corresponds to a 34.5 % increase compared with pure UiO-66, considering only the MOF content. Furthermore, the Pal/UiO-66 composite was proven stable and highly recyclable, losing less than 9% of the removal capacity after five consecutive cycles. The study highlights the synergistic effect of the coupling of MOF structures with low-cost and abundant clay minerals for the development of advanced absorbents.

Abstract
Zirconium clusters of UiO-66 have been hydroxylated with NaOH to generate strong binding sites for As(III) species in wastewater treatment. Hydroxylated UiO-66 provides high adsorption capacity over a wide range of pH from 1 to 10 with a maximum uptake of 204 mg g-1, which is significantly enhanced compared to those of pristine UiO-66, acid-modulated UiO-66, and other adsorbents for use in a wide pH range of treatment processes. The local structure of hydroxylated sites and As(III) adsorption mechanism are determined by extended X-ray absorption fine structure combined with density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
The self-assembly of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is crucial for the functional design of materials, including energy storage materials, catalysts, selective separation materials and optical crystals. However, oriented self-assembly of MOFs is still a challenge. Herein, we propose a novel strategy to drive oriented self-assembly of MOF polyhedral particles at the water-liquid interface by photoinitiated monomer polymerization. The MOF polyhedral particles self-assemble into ordered close-packed structures with obvious orientation in the polymer film, and the orientation is determined by the casting solvent on the water surface. The prepared large-area MOF polymer films show a Janus structure, containing a MOF monolayer and a polymer layer, and can be easily transferred to a variety of substrates. In addition, mixed MOF particles with different sizes and morphologies can also be assembled by this method. This novel method can be foreseen to provide a powerful driving force for the development of MOF self-assembly and to create more possibilities for utilizing the anisotropic properties of MOFs.

Abstract
Owing to their structural and functional tunability, the preparation of multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) and investigation of their potential application has become a hot topic in fields of environment and energy. To achieve more adsorption and removal performance, a series of multivariate Zr-MOFs (TCPP@MOF-808s) were prepared via mixed-ligands strategy for the first time. The morphology, as well as adsorption and removal properties of TCPP@MOF-808s can be controlled by adjusting ratio of the linkers. 57%TCPP@MOF-808 could provide ideal appearance with excellent stability. By using 57%TCPP@MOF-808 as sorbent, a dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) was developed for extraction of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) including BPA, 17β-E2, 17α-E2, E1, and HEX from environmental water prior to HPLC analysis. The pseudo-second-order model can describe the adsorption kinetic data well. Using Langmuir isotherm model, the maximum adsorption capacities of BPA, 17β-E2, 17α-E2, and E1 were calculated as 94.34, 104.17, 109.89, and 121.95 mg·g-1, respectively. The LODs for the analysis of EDCs with HPLC-DAD by using 57%TCPP@MOF-808 as sorbent were achieved in the range of 0.01-0.03 ng·mL-1. The recoveries were obtained in the range of 74.63-98.00%. Enrichment factors were calculated in the range of 146-312. This work provides an effective strategy for design and preparation of multifunctional nanomaterials to improve their potential applications in the detection of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
A specific functionality in the adsorbent materials plays a significant role for the selective capture of heavy metals based on Pearson's Hard-Soft-Acid-Base (HSAB) concept. Herein, we introduced single and double amino- and thiol-functionalities into the UiO-66 framework, which acted as hard and soft base sites for heavy metal adsorption, respectively. The synthesized adsorbents (labelled as NH2-UiO-66, (NH2)2-UiO-66, SH-UiO-66 and (SH)2-UiO-66) were applied for the selective removal of lead (Pb) ions from contaminated water. The removal efficiency of Pb was about 64, 85, 75 and 99% (pH = 6, T = 30 °C, sample dosage = 10 mg, Pb concentration = 100 mg L-1), respectively, based on available number of interacting sites in the respective adsorbent. To elaborate HSAB concept, the interacting sites of these functional groups towards Pb were explored by identifying their possible types of interactions in terms of soft acid-base affinity, coordinate and covalent bonding, chelation, π-π interactions and synergetic effect of bonding. Density functional theory (DFT) simulation was used to confirm these interactions and to help the better understanding of adsorption mechanism. Model fitting and characterization of Pb-sorbed adsorbents were also performed to reveal kinetics, order of adsorptive reaction, thermodynamics and adsorption mechanism. Moreover, the optimization of adsorptive removal was performed by controlled parameters including time, initial concentration, pH and temperature. The reusability and selectivity of these adsorbents along with recovery of Pb(II) were also assessed. This study presents the conceptual framework for the design of functional adsorbents in the removal of heavy metals using the HSAB principle as an intended guideline.

Abstract
Defect engineering of metal organic frameworks offers potential prospects for tuning their features toward particular applications. Herein, two series of defective UiO-66 frameworks were synthesized via changing the concentration of the linker and synthetic temperature of the reaction. These defective materials showed a significant improvement in the capability of Pb(II) removal from wastewater. This strategy for defect engineering not only created additional active sites, more open framework, and enhanced porosity but also exposed more oxygen groups, which served as the adsorption sites to improve Pb(II) adsorption. A relationship among degree of defects, texture features, and performances for Pb(II) removal was successfully developed as a proof-of-concept, highlighting the importance of defect engineering in heavy metal remediation. To investigate the kinetic and adsorption isotherms, we performed adsorption experiments influenced by the time and concentration of the adsorbate, respectively. For the practicality of the materials, the most significant parameters such as pH, temperature, adsorbent concentration, selectivity, and recyclability as well as simulated natural surface water were also examined. This study provides a clue for the researchers to design other advanced defective materials for the enhancement of adsorption performance by tuning the defect engineering.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a new type of crystalline porous materials, mainly consist of light-weight elements (H, B, C, N and O) linked by dynamic covalent bonds to form periodical structures of two or three dimensions. As an attribute of their low density, large surface area, and excellent adjustable pore size, COFs show great potential in many fields including energy storage and separation, catalysis, sensing, and biomedicine. However, compared with metal organic frameworks (MOFs), the relatively large size and irregular morphology of COFs affect their biocompatibility and bioavailability in vivo, thus impeding their further biomedical applications. This Review focuses on the controlled design strategies of nanoscale COFs (NCOFs), unique properties of NCOFs for biomedical applications, and recent progress in NCOFs for cancer therapy. In addition, current challenges for the biomedical use of NCOFs and perspectives for further improvements are presented.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as one of the most widely investigated materials in catalysis mainly due to their excellent component tunability, high surface area, adjustable pore size, and uniform active sites. However, the overwhelming number of MOF materials and complex structures has brought difficulties for researchers to select and construct suitable MOF-based catalysts. Herein, a programmable design strategy is presented based on metal ions/clusters, organic ligands, modifiers, functional materials, and post-treatment modules, which can be used to design the components, structures, and morphologies of MOF catalysts for different reactions. By establishing the corresponding relationship between these modules and functions, researchers can accurately and efficiently construct heterometallic MOFs, chiral MOFs, conductive MOFs, hierarchically porous MOFs, defective MOFs, MOF composites, and MOF-derivative catalysts. Further, this programmable design approach can also be used to regulate the physical/chemical microenvironments of pristine MOFs, MOF composites, and MOF-derivative materials for heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis. Finally, the challenging issues and opportunities for the future research of MOF-based catalysts are discussed. Overall, the modular design concept of this review can be applied as a potent tool for exploring the structure-activity relationships and accelerating the on-demand design of multicomponent catalysts.

Abstract
Defect engineering in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has recently become an area of significant research due to the possibility of enhancing material properties such as internal surface area and catalytic activity while maintaining stable 3D structures. Through a modulator screening study, the model Zr4+ MOF, UiO-66, has been synthesized with control of particle sizes (100-1900 nm) and defect levels (2-24%). By relating these properties, two series were identified where one property remained constant, allowing for independent analysis of the defect level or particle size, which frequently change coincident with the modulator choice. The series were used to compare UiO-66 reactivity for the hydrolysis of a chemical warfare agent simulant, dimethyl 4-nitrophenylphosphate (DMNP). The rate of DMNP hydrolysis displayed high dependence on the external surface area, supporting a reaction dominated by surface interactions. Moderate to high concentrations of defects (14-24%) allow for the accessibility of some interior MOF nodes but do not substantially promote diffusion into the framework. Individual control of defect levels and particle sizes through modulator selection may provide useful materials for small molecular catalysis and provide a roadmap for similar engineering of other zirconium frameworks.

Abstract
The porphyrinic metal-organic framework, PCN-222, exhibits anisotropic growth behavior to form nanorods and microrods with aspect ratios 3 < x < 94. Control of microrod aspect ratios has been demonstrated through the identification of several factors that dictate crystal growth, particularly the concentrations of a ligand, a modulator, and an exogenous base. An increase in the local concentration of a deprotonated ligand, which is proportional to the nucleation rate, is associated with smaller crystals, while increased modulator concentration leads to longer microrods. Addition of a deprotonating agent not only contributes to higher aspect ratios but also results in an improvement to particle dispersity. Here, we report acid-base co-modulation methods with difluoroacetic acid and triethylamine to effectively tune PCN-222 aspect ratios. A series of mechanisms is identified for the growth of PCN-222: (1) ligand deprotonation, (2) nucleation, (3) oriented attachment, (4) Ostwald ripening, and (5) dissolution-recrystallization. Time trials of co-modulated samples revealed three separate ripening growth events, with each resulting in larger and more monodisperse crystals. With an understanding of these crystal growth factors and mechanisms, the highest aspect ratio, non-templated metal-organic frameworks were synthesized (94 ± 9).

Abstract
Introduction: The treatment of tumors is one of the most difficult problems in the medical field at present. Patients often use a comprehensive therapy that combines surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has prominent potential for eradicating various cancers. Chlorin-based photosensitizers (PSs), as one of the most utilized photosensitizers, have many advantages over conventional photosensitizers; however, a successful chlorin-based PDT needs multi-functional nano-carriers for selective photosensitizer delivery. The number of researches about nanoparticles designed for improved chlorin-based PSs is increasing in the current era. In this article, we give a brief review focused on the recent research progress in design of chlorin-based nanoparticles for the treatment of malignant tumors with photodynamic therapy.Areas covered: This review focuses on the current nanoparticle platforms for PDT, and describes different strategies to achieve controllable PDT by chlorin-nano-delivery systems. The challenges and prospects of PDT in clinical applications are also discussed.Expert opinions: The requirement for PDT to eradicate cancers has increased exponentially in recent years. The major clinically used photosensitizers are hydrophobic. The main obstacles in effective delivery of PSs are associated with this intrinsic nature. The design of nano-delivery systems to load PSs is pivotal for PSs' widespread use.

Abstract
The Ti-based metal-organic framework (Ti-MOF) MIL-125 with tunable crystalline size in the range of ca. 50 nm to 1500 nm was synthesized by the coordination modulation method using trans-cinnamic acid (CA) as a modulator. The coordination modulation also induced hierarchical porosity and structure defects on the nanocrystals. A significant size-dependent catalytic activity towards the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) reaction was observed for these MIL-125 nanocrystals. In particular, the MIL-125 nanocrystals with a mean size of ca. 50 nm exhibit dramatically enhanced catalytic performance for the bulky sulfur compound 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) compared to the microcrystals. It is demonstrated that the size modulation of MIL-125 is an effective approach to promote its performance for the catalysis of bulky molecules.

Abstract
Significant advances have been made in the synthesis of chemically selective environments within metal-organic frameworks, yet materials development and industrial implementation have been hindered by the inability to predictively control crystallite size and shape. One common strategy to control crystal growth is the inclusion of coordination modulators, which are molecular species designed to compete with the linker for metal coordination during synthesis. However, these modulators can simultaneously alter the pH of the reaction solution, an effect that can also significantly influence crystal morphology. Herein, noncoordinating buffers are used to independently control reaction pH during metal-organic framework synthesis, enabling direct interrogation of the role of the coordinating species on crystal growth. We demonstrate the efficacy of this strategy in the synthesis of low-dispersity single-crystals of the framework Co2(dobdc) (dobdc4-= 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) in a pH 7-buffered solution using cobalt(II) acetate as the metal source. Density functional theory calculations reveal that acetate competitively binds to Co during crystallization, and by using a series of cobalt(II) salts with carboxylate anions of varying coordination strength, it is possible to control crystal growth along the c-direction. Finally, we use zero length column chromatography to show that crystal morphology has a direct impact on guest diffusional path length for the industrially important hydrocarbon m-xylene. Together, these results provide molecular-level insight into the use of modulators in governing crystallite morphology and a powerful strategy for the control of molecular diffusion rates within metal-organic frameworks.

Boosted peroxidase-like activity of metal-organic framework nanoparticles with single atom Fe(Ⅲ) sites at low substrate concentration. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1152:338299.

Abstract
Single atom nanomaterials possess catalytic activity like natural enzymes are termed as SAzymes which have gained great attention during last two years because of the maximal utilization of atoms and the benefit of understanding structure-property relationship. However, most of SAzymes are fabricated based on hydrophobic carbon, which disperse poorly in water and exhibit inferior affinity towards substrates, which may limit their biomedical applications. Here, we report a peroxidase-like SAzyme through the post-modification route based on hydrophilic defective metal-organic frameworks. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is employed as ligand modulator to fabricate defective NH2-UiO-66 nanoparticles (HCl-NH2-UiO-66 NPs). Compared with the NPs fabricated through acetic acid modulation method (Ac-NH2-UiO-66 NPs), HCl-NH2-UiO-66 NPs have more missing linkers. Hence, more Fe(Ⅲ) ions can be successfully doped onto Zr6 clusters in HCl-NH2-UiO-66 NPs in a single atom state via formation of Fe-O-Zr bridge. The HCl-NH2-UiO-66 NPs doped with Fe(Ⅲ) ions (Fe-HCl-NH2-UiO-66 NPs) possess higher peroxidase-like activity than Fe-Ac-NH2-UiO-66 NPs due to the higher loading amount of Fe. Besides, both Fe-HCl-NH2-UiO-66 NPs and Fe-Ac-NH2-UiO-66 NPs exhibit lower Michaelis-Menten constants (Km) for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) than most reported nanomaterials, indicating their higher affinity to H2O2. Due to their excellent catalytic activity to low concentration of substrates, Fe-HCl-NH2-UiO-66 NPs can detect H2O2 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.0 μM. Thus, our system can be used to detect the low cellular H2O2 concentration. With high peroxidase-like activity induced by plenty of single atom Fe(Ⅲ) sites, Fe-HCl-NH2-UiO-66 NPs can also find wide applications in other fields including nanomedicine, pollution degradation and catalysis.

Abstract
Herein, the NH2-UiO-66 metal organic framework (MOF) has been green synthesized with the assistance of high gravity to provide a suitable and safe platform for drug loading. The NH2-UiO-66 MOF was characterized using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and zeta potential analysis. Doxorubicin was then encapsulated physically on the porosity of the green MOF. Two different stimulus polymers, p(HEMA) and p(NIPAM), were used as the coating agents of the MOFs. Doxorubicin was loaded onto the polymer-coated MOFs as well, and a drug payload of more than 51% was obtained, which is a record by itself. In the next step, pCRISPR was successfully tagged on the surface of the modified MOFs, and the performance of the final nanosystems were evaluated by the GFP expression. In addition, successful loadings and internalizations of doxorubicin were investigated via confocal laser scanning microscopy. Cellular images from the HeLa cell line for the UiO-66@DOX@pCRISPR and GMA-UiO-66@DOX@pCRISPR do not show any promising and successful gene transfections, with a maximum EGFP of 1.6%; however, the results for the p(HEMA)-GMA-UiO-66@DOX@pCRISPR show up to 4.3% transfection efficiency. Also, the results for the p(NIPAM)-GMA-UiO-66@DOX@pCRISPR showed up to 6.4% transfection efficiency, which is the first and superior report of a MOF-based nanocarrier for the delivery of pCRISPR. Furthermore, the MTT assay does not shown any critical cytotoxicity, which is a promising result for further biomedical applications. At the end of the study, the morphologies of all of the nanomaterials were screened after drug and gene delivery procedures and showed partial degradation of the nanomaterial. However, the cubic structure of the MOFs has been shown in TEM, and this is further proof of the stability of these green MOFs for biomedical applications.

Abstract
As one type of promising inorganic-organic hybrid crystal material, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted widespread attention in many potential fields, particularly in energy storage and conversion. Recently, effective strategies have been developed to construct uniform nanoscale MOFs (NMOFs), which not only retain inherent advantages of MOFs but also develop some improved superiorities, including shorter diffusion pathway for guest transportation and more accessible active sites for surface adsorption and reaction. Additonally, their nanometer size provides more opportunity for post-functionalization and hybridization. In this review, recent progress on the preparation of NMOFs is summarized, primarily through bottom-up strategies including reaction parameter- and coordination-assisted synthesis, and top-down strategies such as liquid exfoliation and salt-template confinement. Additionally, recent applications of NMOFs in batteries as electrodes, separators, and electrolytes is discussed. Finally, some important issues concerning the fabrication and application are emphasized, which should be paid attention in future.

Abstract
Using ionic liquids (ILs) as linker precursors, the well‐known metal‐organic framework (MOF) UiO‐66 (Universitetet i Oslo) and the recently reported MOF hcp UiO‐66 (hexagonal closed packed) have been successfully synthesized and characterized. The advantage of the applied novel synthesis approach is an economically and environmentally benign work‐up procedure, due to the better solubility of the IL. Additionally, the reactivity of the terephthalate anions is increased compared to terephthalic acid, resulting in faster MOF formation with an increased amount of defects in the MOF structure. In order to explore to the influence of defects on the catalytic performance, the cyclisation of citronellal to isopulegol was employed as test reaction. The activity of hcp UiO‐66 and fcc UiO‐66 (face centered cubic) is improved compared to other MOF or zeolite based catalysts, while the selectivity is similar.

Abstract
Multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that possess permanent porosity are promising catalysts in organic transformation. Herein, we report the construction of a hierarchical MOF functionalized with basic aliphatic amine groups and polyvinylpyrrolidone-capped platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs). The postsynthetic covalent modification of organic ligands increases basic site density in the MOF and simultaneously introduces mesopores to create a hierarchically porous structure. The multifunctional MOF is capable of catalyzing a sequential Knoevenagel condensation-hydrogenation-intramolecular cyclization reaction. The unique selective reduction of the nitro group to intermediate hydroxylamine by Pt NPs supported on MOF followed by intramolecular cyclization with a cyano group affords an excellent yield (up to 92%) to the uncommon quinoline N-oxides over quinolines. The hierarchical MOF and polyvinylpyrrolidone capping agent on Pt NPs synergistically facilitate the enrichment of substrates and thus lead to high activity in the reduction-intramolecular cyclization reaction. The bioactivity assay indicates that the synthesized quinoline N-oxides evidently inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of MOF-catalyzed direct synthesis of bioactive molecules from readily available compounds under mild conditions.

Abstract
Ion homeostasis is essential for cellular survival, and elevated concentrations of specific ions are used to start distinct forms of programmed cell death. However, investigating the influence of certain ions on cells in a controlled way has been hampered due to the tight regulation of ion import by cells. Here, it is shown that lipid-coated iron-based metal-organic framework nanoparticles are able to deliver and release high amounts of iron ions into cells. While high concentrations of iron often trigger ferroptosis, here, the released iron induces pyroptosis, a form of cell death involving the immune system. The iron release occurs only in slightly acidic extracellular environments restricting cell death to cells in acidic microenvironments and allowing for external control. The release mechanism is based on endocytosis facilitated by the lipid-coating followed by degradation of the nanoparticle in the lysosome via cysteine-mediated reduction, which is enhanced in slightly acidic extracellular environment. Thus, a new functionality of hybrid nanoparticles is demonstrated, which uses their nanoarchitecture to facilitate controlled ion delivery into cells. Based on the selectivity for acidic microenvironments, the described nanoparticles may also be used for immunotherapy: the nanoparticles may directly affect the primary tumor and the induced pyroptosis activates the immune system.

Abstract
Preferred orientation has proven to exert a significant impact on the gas separation performance of metal-organic framework membranes. Nevertheless, realizing three-dimensional orientation control remains a challenging issue. In this study, well-intergrown NH2-UiO-66 membranes with both (111) out-of-plane and regional in-plane orientations were prepared by combining oriented deposition of seeds and solvothermal epitaxial growth. Dynamic air-liquid interface-assisted self-assembly method was employed to organize uniform octahedral-shaped NH2-UiO-66 seeds into closely packed monolayers with (111) out-of-plane and regional in-plane orientations, whereas the use of ZrS2 as the zirconium precursor during the solvothermal epitaxial growth was found indispensible for sealing the intercrystalline gaps while preserving the preferred orientation inherited from seed layers. In addition, compared with solvothermal heating, employing microwave heating led to poor intergrowth between neighboring NH2-UiO-66 crystals because of a lower dielectric loss factor of the reaction medium. Gas permeation results indicated that the prepared NH2-UiO-66 membranes exhibited H2/CO2 selectivity up to 5.5 times higher than their counterparts with random and/or mere out-of-plane orientations as well as H2 permeability 14.5 times higher than NH2-MIL-125(Ti) membranes with mere out-of-plane orientation under similar operating conditions.

Abstract
Achieving large pore size, high catalytic performance with stable structure is critical for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to have more hopeful prospects in catalytic applications. Herein, we had reported a method to synthesize highly reactive yet stable defective iron-based Metal organic frameworks by using different monocarboxylic acids with varying lengths as a modulator. The physical-chemical characterization illustrating that modulators could improve the crystallinity, enlarge pore size and enhance catalytic performance and octanoic acid (OA) was screened to be the suitable choice. The catalytic performance of catalysts was detected through persulfate (PS) activation for degrading Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). The study demonstrated that the highest degradation efficiency for 0.018 mmol L-1 TBBPA was that 97.79% in the conditions of the 1.0 g L-1 Fe(BDC)(DMF,F)-OA-30 dosage and TBBPA:PS = 200:1. In addition, there was observed that no obvious change of the crystal structure, little the leachable iron concentration in the solutions and no significant loss of catalytic activities of Fe(BDC)(DMF,F)-OA-30 after 5th cycles. The iron valence state of Fe(BDC)(DMF,F)-OA-30 before and after degradation and electrochemical properties reveal that the partial substitution of organic ligands by octanoic acid, when removing OA and forming defects by heat and vacuum treatment to generate coordinatively unsaturated metal sites and accelerate the original transmission of electronic, leading to enhance the activity of persulfate activation for efficient removal TBBPA.

Abstract
Highly efficient removal of toxic Cr(VI) from aqueous media remains a crucial concern for ecosystem protection and public health. Herein, we demonstrated a new approach to solve this issue by constructing alkyl thiol-containing Zr-based metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents using simple and inexpensive mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) and meso-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) as ligands. These chemically stable MOFs could be prepared in an uncomplicated, green, cost-effective, and scalable way. The interaction mechanism between alkyl thiol groups in MOFs and Cr(VI) was investigated in detail. Thanks to the formation of a Cr(VI)-thiolate complex and the oxidation of thiol groups, these designed MOFs not only exhibited high Cr(VI) adsorption capacities (202.0 and 138.7 mg/g for Zr-MSA and Zr-DMSA, respectively) but also displayed the immobilization ability for concomitant resultant Cr(III). Even in the presence of high concentrations of possibly coexistent interfering ions, the thiol-containing MOFs can still work effectively to decontaminate the Cr(VI) species. In addition, the strategy of introducing thiol groups into MOFs for Cr(VI) reduction and concomitant Cr(III) immobilization is universal for other MOFs, as verified by thiol-containing UiO-66 and MOF-808 prepared by a one-pot method. Therefore, our work not only produces several effective Cr(VI) adsorbents but also sets a general guideline for the construction of Cr(VI) adsorbents by introducing thiol groups into porous materials.
