Abstract
Open hollow dodecahedral cage clusters have long been a coveted target in synthetic chemistry, yet their creation poses immense challenges. Here we report two open hollow dodecahedral lanthanide-aluminum (Ln-Al) heterometallic cage clusters, namely, [Ln210Al140(μ2-OH)210(μ3-OH)540(OAc)180(H2O)156](ClO4)120·(MeCN)x·(H2O)y, (Ln = Dy and x = 27, y = 300 for 1; Ln = Y and x = 28, y = 420 for 2). Remarkably, the 350 metal atoms in 1 and 2 display a Keplerate-type four-shell structure of truncated icosidodecahedron@dodecahedron@dodecahedron@icosidodecahedron. The diameter of the cationic cluster in 1 is approximately 5.0 nm, with an inner cavity diameter of about 2.8 nm and a window diameter of roughly 0.66 nm. The cluster in 1 boasts an accessible inner void volume of up to 15,000 Å3. Notably, these cage clusters maintain stability in water, and the truncated icosidodecahedrons in 1 and 2 are the first of their kind synthesized to date. Given that the open hollow dodecahedral Ln-Al cage cluster has never been reported before, this work represents a member in the family of hollow open dodecahedral cages.

Abstract
Understanding the Li-ions conduction network and transport dynamics in polymer electrolyte is crucial for developing reliable all-solid-state batteries. In this work, advanced nano- X-ray computed tomography combined with Raman spectroscopy and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance are used to multi-scale qualitatively and quantitatively reveal ion conduction network of poly(ethylene) oxide (PEO)-based electrolyte (from atomic, nano to macroscopic level). With the clear mapping of the microstructural heterogeneities of the polymer segments, aluminium-oxo molecular clusters (AlOC) are used to reconstruct a high-efficient conducting network with high available Li-ions (76.7%) and continuous amorphous domains via the strong supramolecular interactions. Such superionic PEO conductor (PEO-LiTFSI-AlOC) exhibites a molten-like Li-ion conduction behaviour among the whole temperature range and delivers an ionic conductivity of 1.87 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 35 °Ϲ. This further endows Li electrochemical plating/stripping stability under 50 μA cm-2 and 50 μAh cm-2 over 2000 h. The as-built Li|PEO-LiTFSI-AlOC|LiFePO4 full batteries show a high rate performance and a capacity retention more than 90% over 200 cycling at 250 μA cm-2, even enabling a high-loading LiFePO4 cathode of 16.8 mg cm-2 with a specific capacity of 150 mAh g-1 at 50 °Ϲ.

Abstract
Herein, we firstly develop porous organic cage (POC) as an efficient platform for highly effective radioactive iodine capture under industrial operating conditions (typically ≥150 °C), ≤150 ppmv of I2). Due to the highly dispersed and readily accessible binding sites as well as sufficient accommodating space, the constructed NKPOC-DT-(I-) (NKPOC=Nankai porous organic cage) demonstrates a record-high I2 uptake capacity of 48.35 wt % and extraordinary adsorption capacity of unit ionic site (~1.62) at 150 °C and 150 ppmv of I2. The I2 capacity is 3.5, 1.6, and 1.3 times higher than industrial silver-based adsorbents Ag@MOR and benchmark materials of TGDM and 4F-iCOF-TpBpy-I- under the same conditions. Furthermore, NKPOC-DT-(I-)Me exhibits remarkable adsorption kinetics (k1=0.013 min-1), which is 1.2 and 1.6 times higher than TGDM and 4F-iCOF-TpBpy-I- under the identical conditions. NKPOC-DT-(I-)Me thus sets a new benchmark for industrial radioactive I2 adsorbents. This work not only provides a new insight for effectively enhancing the adsorption capacity of unit functional sites, but also advances POC as an efficient platform for radioiodine capture in industry.

Abstract
Efficient capture and storage of radioactive I2 is a prerequisite for developing nuclear power but remains a challenge. Here, two flexible Ag-MOFs (FJI-H39 and 40) with similar active sites but different pore sizes and flexibility are prepared; both of them can capture I2 with excellent removal efficiencies and high adsorption capacities. Due to the more flexible pores, FJI-H39 not only possesses the record-high I2 storage density among all the reported MOFs but also displays a very fast adsorption kinetic (124 times faster than FJI-H40), while their desorption kinetics are comparable. Mechanistic studies show that FJI-H39 can undergo induced-fit transformations continuously (first contraction then expansion), making the adsorbed iodine species enrich near the Ag(I) nodes quickly and orderly, from discrete I- anion to the dense packing of various iodine species, achieving the very fast adsorption kinetic and the record-high storage density simultaneously. However, no significant structural transformations caused by the adsorbed iodine are observed in FJI-H40. In addition, FJI-H39 has excellent stability/recyclability/obtainability, making it a practical adsorbent for radioactive I2. This work provides a useful method for synthesizing practical radioactive I2 adsorbents.

Abstract
Although metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) expansion has been studied to date, it is still a rare occurrence for their porous intermolecular assembly for iodine capture. The major limitation is the lack of programmable and controllable methods for effectively constructing and utilizing the exterior cavities. Herein, the goal of programmable porous intermolecular assembly is realized in the first family of aluminum oxo polyhedrons (AlOPs) using ligands with directional H-bonding donor/acceptor pairs and auxiliary alcohols as structural regulation sites. The approach has the advantage of avoiding the use of expensive edge-directed ditopic and face-directed tritopic ligands in the general synthesis strategy of MOPs. Combining theoretical calculations and experiments, the intrinsic relationship is revealed between alcohol ligands and the growth mechanism of AlOPs. The maximum I2 uptake based on the mass gain during sorption corresponds to 2.35 g g-1, representing the highest reported I2 sorption by an MOP. In addition, it can be easily regenerated and maintained the iodine sorption capacity, revealing its further potential application. This method of constructing stable and programmable porous materials will provide a new way to solve problems such as radionuclide capture.

Abstract
Four new Ni16 molecular wheels with the general formula [L4Ni16(RCOO)16(H2O)x(MeOH)12-x] (where H4L=1,4-bis((E)-((2'-hydroxybenzyl)imino)methyl)-2,3-naphthalenediol, and R=H or Me) have been isolated and structurally characterised. Complexes C1-C3 (R=Me) were formed using nickel (II) acetate and presented as polymorphs with the same formulation of charged components. The same wheel-like architecture was observed in C4 (R=H), which was prepared using nickel (II) formate, demonstrating the potential for further versatility of the system. In contrast to similar four-fold symmetric Ni(II) wheel clusters, measurements of the static magnetic properties of C1 indicated the presence of dominant antiferromagnetic interactions and an S=0 ground state.

Abstract
Octanuclear polyoxomolybdenum-based porous materials, Na8[Mo8O8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)8(3-apz)4]2·26H2O (1, 3-Hapz = 3-aminopyrazole), K8[Mo8O8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)8(3-apz)4]2·7H2O (2) and (NH4)4[Mo8O8(μ2-O)8(μ2-OH)4(3-apz)8]·20.5H2O (3), have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method and fully characterized. X-ray structural analyses show that microporous materials 1-3 contain round pores formed by octanuclear molybdenum-oxygen groups connected sequentially with pore sizes of 4.0, 4.0, and 4.8 Å, respectively. Both 1 and 2 are composed of two {Mo8} rings, which are connected by strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds between bridging hydroxy groups and oxygen atoms to form dimeric structures. The central pores in 1 and 2 are occupied by Na+ and K+, respectively, while they are empty in 3. This reflects the structural expansion and contraction effects induced by different cations. Through intermolecular stacking, 1-3 also exhibit channels with sizes of 14.0 × 6.4, 4.6 × 2.6, and 5.4 × 5.4 Å, respectively, which were used for the studies of gas adsorption. The results show that 1-3 can selectively adsorb CO2 and O2, including the empty hole in 3, while they show little or no affinity for gases H2, N2, and CH4. Moreover, an additional polyoxomolybdenum-based species (Mo8O26)n·4n(3-H2apz) (4) has been obtained with protonated 3-aminopyrazole in the absence of a reducing agent, which can serve as an intermediate for the polyoxomolybdenum-based porous products.

Abstract
ConspectusRecent years have witnessed the development of cluster materials as they are atomically precise molecules with uniform size and solution-processability, which are unattainable with traditional nanoparticles or framework materials. The motivation for studying Al(III) chemistry is not only to understand the aggregation process of aluminum in the environment but also to develop novel low-cost materials given its natural abundance. However, the Al-related clusters are underdeveloped compared to the coinage metals, lanthanides, and transition metals. The challenge in isolating crystalline compounds is the lack of an effective method to realize the controllable hydrolysis of Al(III) ions. Compared with the traditional hydrolysis of inorganic Al(III) salts in highly alkaline solutions and hydrolysis of aluminum trialkyl compounds conducted carefully in an inert operating environment, we herein developed an effective way to control the hydrolysis of aluminum isopropanol through an alcoxalation reaction. By solvothermal/low melting point solid melting synthesis and using "ligand aggregation, solvent regulation, and supracluster assembly" strategies, our laboratory has established an organic-inorganic hybrid system of aluminum oxo clusters (AlOCs). The employment of organic ligands promotes the aggregation and slows the hydrolysis of Al(III) ions, which in turn improves the crystallization process. The regulation of the structure types can be achieved through the selection of ligands and the supporting solvents. Compared with the traditional condensed polyoxoaluminates, we successfully isolated a broad range of porous AlOCs, including aluminum molecular rings and Archimedes aluminum oxo cages. By studying ring expansion, structural transformation, and intermolecular supramolecular assembly, we demonstrate unique and unprecedented structural controllability and assembly behavior in cluster science. The advancement of this universal synthetic method is to realize materials customization through modularly oriented supracluster assembly. In this Account, we will provide a clear-cut definition and terminology of "ligand aggregation, solvent regulation, and supracluster assembly". Then we will discuss the discovery in this area by using a strategy, such as aluminum molecular ring, ring size expansion, ring supracluster assembly, etc. Furthermore, given the internal and external pore structures, as well as the solubility and modifiability of the AlOCs, we will demonstrate their potential applications in both the solid and liquid phases, such as iodine capture, the optical limiting responses, and dopant in polymer dielectrics. The strategy herein can be applied to extensive cluster science and promote the research of main group element chemistry. The new synthetic method, fascinating clusters, and unprecedented assembly behaviors we have discovered will advance Al(III) chemistry and will also lay the foundation for functional applications.

Abstract
Radioiodine capture from nuclear fuel waste and contaminated water sources is of enormous environmental importance, but remains technically challenging. Herein, we demonstrate robust covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with antiparallel stacked structures, excellent radiation resistance, and high binding affinities toward I2, CH3I, and I3- under various conditions. A neutral framework (ACOF-1) achieves a high affinity through the cooperative functions of pyridine-N and hydrazine groups from antiparallel stacking layers, resulting in a high capacity of ~2.16 g/g for I2 and ~0.74 g/g for CH3I at 25 °C under dynamic adsorption conditions. Subsequently, post-synthetic methylation of ACOF-1 converted pyridine-N sites to cationic pyridinium moieties, yielding a cationic framework (namely ACOF-1R) with enhanced capacity for triiodide ion capture from contaminated water. ACOF-1R can rapidly decontaminate iodine polluted groundwater to drinking levels with a high uptake capacity of ~4.46 g/g established through column breakthrough tests. The cooperative functions of specific binding moieties make ACOF-1 and ACOF-1R promising adsorbents for radioiodine pollutants treatment under practical conditions.

Abstract
Chiral aluminum oxo clusters (cAlOCs) are distinguished from other classes of materials on account of their abundance in the earth's crust and their potential for sustainable development. However, the practical synthesis of cAlOCs is rarely known. Herein, we adopt a synergistic coordination strategy by using chiral amino acid ligands as bridges and auxiliary pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid as chelating ligands and successfully isolate an extensive family of cAlOCs. They integrate molecular chirality, absolute helicity, and intrinsic hydrogen-bonded chiral topology. Moreover, they have the structural characteristics of one-dimensional channels and replaceable counteranions, which make them well combined with fluorescent dyes for circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The absolute luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) of up to the 10-3 order is comparable to several noble metals, revealing the enormous potential of cAlOCs in low-cost chiral materials. We hope this work will inspire new discoveries in the field of chirality and provide new opportunities for constructing low-cost chiral materials.

Abstract
Crystal-liquid-glass, which combines the tunable properties of crystalline compounds with the processability of glasses, has emerged as a new class of materials for fabricating bulk-shapable devices in real applications. Inspired by the characteristics of deep eutectic solvent (DES) mixtures involving significant depressions in melting points compared to their neat constituent components, in this study, we designed and synthesized the first examples of meltable aluminum oxo clusters (AlOCs) via lattice doping with DESs at the molecular level. The abundant and strong hydrogen bonding between the aluminum molecular ring, DES components, and lattice solvents is postulated to be the root that affords melting point depressions and, thus, "melting" clusters. We prepared a transparent bubble-free glass film under autogenous pressure using a hot-press method. These cluster-based films exhibited luminescent and nonlinear optical properties similar to those of pristine crystalline compounds. Our study belongs to the interdisciplinary disciplines of chemistry and physics. It not only breaks the limitations of crystalline glass on metal and ligand types but also acts as a general guide for extending the range of meltable crystalline materials.

Abstract
Nuclear power emerges as a beacon of hope in tackling the energy crisis. However, the emission of radioactive iodine originating from nuclear waste and accidents poses a serious danger to nature and human well-being. Therefore, it becomes imperative to urgently develop suitable adsorbents capable of iodine capture and long-term storage. It's generally recognized that achieving high iodine capture efficiency necessitates the presence of electron-rich pores/cavities that facilitate charge-transfer (CT) interactions, as well as effective sorption sites capable of engaging in lone pair interactions with iodine. In this study, an unprecedented iodine capture paradigm by nonporous amorphous electron-deficient tetracationic cycloalkanes in vapor and aqueous solutions is revealed, overturning preconceived notions of iodine trapping materials. A newly reported tetracationic cyclophane, BPy-Box4+, exhibited an exceptional iodine vapor sorption capacity of 3.99 g g-1, remarkable iodine removal efficiency in aqueous media, and outstanding reusability. The iodine capture mechanism is unambiguously elucidated by theoretical calculations and the single-crystal structures of cyclophanes with a gradual increase in iodine content, underlining the vital role of host-guest (1:1 or 1:2) interactions for the enhanced iodine capture. The current study demonstrates a new paradigm for enhanced iodine capture by nonporous amorphous electron-deficient cyclophanes through host-guest complexation.

Abstract
Untreated radioactive iodine (129I and 131I) released from nuclear power plants poses a significant threat to humans and the environment, so the development of materials to capture iodine from water media and steam is critical. Here, we report a charge transfer complex (TCNQ-MA CTC) with abundant nitrogen atoms and π-conjugated system for adsorption of I2 vapor and I3- from aqueous solutions. Due to the synergistic binding mechanism of benzene/triazine rings and N-containing groups with iodine, special I-π and charge transfer interaction can be formed between the guest and the host, and thus efficient removal of I2 and I3- can be realized by TCNQ-MA CTC with the adsorption capacity up to 2.42 g/g and 800 mg/g, respectively. TCNQ-MA CTC can capture 92% of I3- within 2.5 min, showing extremely fast kinetics, excellent selectivity and high affinity (Kd = 5.68 × 106 mL/g). Finally, the TCNQ-MA CTC was successfully applied in the removal of iodine from seawater with the efficiency of 93.71%. This work provides new insights in the construction of charge transfer complexes and lays the foundation for its environmental applications.

Abstract
Luminescent metal clusters have attracted great interest in current research; however, the design synthesis of Al clusters with color-tunable luminescence remains challenging. Herein, an [Al8 (OH)8 (NA)16 ] (Al8 , HNA = nicotinic acid) molecular cluster with dual luminescence properties of fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is synthesized by choosing HNA ligand as phosphor. Its prompt photoluminescence (PL) spectrum exhibits approximately white light emission at room temperature. Considering that halogen atoms can be used to regulate the RTP property by balancing the singlet and triplet excitons, different CdX2 (X- = Cl- , Br- , I- ) are introduced into the reactive system of the Al8 cluster, and three new Al8 cluster-based metal-organic frameworks, {[Al8 Cd3 Cl5 (OH)8 (NA)17 H2 O]·2HNA}n (CdCl2 -Al8 ), {[Al8 Cd4 Br7 (OH)8 (NA)16 CH3 CN]·NA·HNA}n (CdBr2 -Al8 ) and {[Al8 Cd8 I16 (OH)8 (NA)16 ]}n (CdI2 -Al8 ) are successfully obtained. They realize the color tunability from blue to yellow at room temperature. The origination of fluorescence and phosphorescence has also been illustrated by structure-property analysis and theoretical calculation. This work provides new insights into the design of multicolor luminescent metal cluster-based materials and develops advanced photo-functional materials for multicolor display, anti-counterfeiting, and encryption applications.

Abstract
The effective capture of radioiodine is vital to the development of the nuclear industry and ecological environmental protection. There is, therefore, a continuously growing research exploration in various types of solid-state materials for iodine capture. During the last decade, the potential of using macrocycle and cage-based supramolecular materials in effective uptake and separation of radioactive iodine has been demonstrated. Interest in the application of these materials in iodine capture originates from their diversified porous characteristics, abundant host-guest chemistry, high iodine affinity and adsorption capacity, high stability in various environments, facile modification and functionalization, and intrinsic structural flexibility, among other attributes. Herein, recent progress in macrocycle and cage-based solid-state materials, including pure discrete macrocycles and cages, and their polymeric forms, for iodine capture is summarized and discussed with an emphasis on iodine capture capacities, mechanisms, and design strategies.

Abstract
The motivation for making heterometallic compounds stemmed from their emergent synergistic properties and enhanced capabilities for applications. However, the atomically precisely controlled synthesis of heterometallic compounds remains a daunting challenge of the complications that arise when applying several metals and linkers. Herein, a stepwise and controlled method is reported for the accurate addition of second and third metals to homometallic aluminum macrocycles based on the synergistic coordination and hard-soft acid-base theory. These heterometallic compounds showed a good Lewis acid catalytic effect, and the addition of hetero-metals significantly improved the catalytic effect and rate, among that the conversion rate of compound AlOC-133 reached 99.9% within half an hour. This method combines both the independent controllability of stepwise assembly with the universality of one-step methods. Based on the large family of clusters, the establishment of this method paves the way for the controllable and customized molecular-level synthesis of heterometallic materials and creates materials customized for preferential application.

Abstract
There is a strong and urgent need for efficient materials that can capture radioactive iodine atoms from nuclear waste. This work presents a novel strategy to develop porous materials for iodine capture by employing halogen bonding, mechanochemistry and crystal engineering. 3D halogen-bonded organic frameworks (XOFs) with guest-accessible permanent pores are exciting targets in crystal engineering for developing functional materials, and this work reports the first example of such a structure. The new-found XOF, namely TIEPE-DABCO, exhibits enhanced emission in the solid state and turn-off emission sensing of acid vapors and explosives like picric acid in nanomolar quantity. TIEPE-DABCO captures iodine from the gas phase (3.23 g g-1 at 75 °C and 1.40 g g-1 at rt), organic solvents (2.1 g g-1 ), and aqueous solutions (1.8 g g-1 in the pH range of 3-8); the latter with fast kinetics. The captured iodine can be retained for more than 7 days without any leaching, but readily released using methanol, when required. TIEPE-DABCO can be recycled for iodine capture several times without any loss of storage capacity. The results presented in this work demonstrate the potential of mechanochemical cocrystal engineering with halogen bonding as an approach to develop porous materials for iodine capture and sensing.

Abstract
Developing efficient adsorbents to capture radioactive iodine produced from nuclear wastes is highly desired. Here we report the facial synthesis of a hexacationic imidazolium organic cage and its iodine adsorption properties. Crucial role of counteranions has been disclosed for iodine capture with this cage, where distinct iodine capture behaviors were observed when different counteranions were used. Mechanistic investigations, especially with the X-ray crystallographic analysis of the iodine-loaded sample, allowed the direct visualization of the iodine binding modes at the molecular level. A network of multiple non-covalent interactions including hydrogen bonds, halogen bonds, anion···π interactions, electrostatic interaction between polyiodides and the hexacationic skeleton of the cage are found responsible for the observed high iodine capture performance. Our results may provide an alternative strategy to design efficient iodine adsorbents.

Abstract
We report an unprecedented heterometallic aluminum oxo cluster (AlOC) containing four surface-exposed CoII sites, designated as Al12Co4, protected by four t-butylcalix[4]arene (TBC[4]) molecules. The Al12Co4 nanocluster represents a significant advancement on multiple innovative fronts. First, it stands as an pioneering example of an AlIII-based metallocalixarene nanocluster. It is also the first instance of heterometallic AlOCs shielded by macrocyclic ligands. Notably, this cluster also holds the distinction of being the highest nuclearity Al-Co bimetallic nanocluster known to date. Additionally, by depositing Al12Co4 on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a supported catalyst, we investigated its electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media. To reach a 10 mA cm-2 current density in alkaline solution, the Al12Co4@CNT electrode needs overpotential as low as 320 mV.

Abstract
Adsorbents widely utilized for environmental remediation, water purification, and gas storage have been usually reported to be either porous or crystalline materials. In this contribution, we report the synthesis of two covalent organic superphane cages, that are utilized as the nonporous amorphous superadsorbents for aqueous iodine adsorption with the record-breaking iodine adsorption capability and selectivity. In the static adsorption system, the cages exhibit iodine uptake capacity of up to 8.41 g g-1 in I2 aqueous solution and 9.01 g g-1 in I3- (KI/I2) aqueous solution, respectively, even in the presence of a large excess of competing anions. In the dynamic flow-through experiment, the aqueous iodine adsorption capability for I2 and I3- can reach up to 3.59 and 5.79 g g-1, respectively. Moreover, these two superphane cages are able to remove trace iodine in aqueous media from ppm level (5.0 ppm) down to ppb level concentration (as low as 11 ppb). Based on a binding-induced adsorption mechanism, such nonporous amorphous molecular materials prove superior to all existing porous adsorbents. This study can open up a new avenue for development of state-of-the-art adsorption materials for practical uses with conceptionally new nonporous amorphous superadsorbents (NAS).

Abstract
Metal molecular rings are a class of compounds with aesthetically pleasing symmetry and fundamentally useful properties. The reported work generally focuses on the ring center cavity, and there is little known about those on the ring waist. Herein, we report the discovery of porous aluminum molecular rings and their performance and contribution to the cyanosilylation reaction. We develop a facile ligand induced aggregation and solvent regulation strategy towards AlOC-58NC and AlOC-59NT with high purity, high yield (75% and 70%, respectively) and gram-level scale-up. These molecular rings exhibit a "two-tier" pore feature involving the general central cavity and newly observed equatorial semi-open cavities. AlOC-59NT with two types of one-dimensional channels showed good catalytic activity. The interaction of the aluminum molecular ring catalyst with the substrate has been crystallographically characterized and theoretically confirmed, showing a ring adaptability process that involves the capture and binding of the substrate. This work provides new ideas for the assembly of porous metal molecular rings and to understand the overall reaction pathway involving aldehydes and is expected to inspire the design of low-cost catalysts through structural modifications.

Abstract
Acquiring adsorbents capable of effective radioiodine capture is important for nuclear waste treatment; however, it remains a challenge to develop porous materials with high and reversible iodine capture. Herein, we report a porous self-assembly constructed by a cup-shaped PdII complex through intermolecular π···π interactions. This self-assembly features a cubic structure with channels along all three Cartesian coordinates, which enables it to efficiently capture iodine with an adsorption capacity of 0.60 g g-1 for dissolved iodine and 1.81 g g-1 for iodine vapor. Furthermore, the iodine adsorbed within the channels can be readily released upon immersing the bound solid in CH2Cl2, which allows the recycling of the adsorbent. This work develops a new porous molecular material promising for practical iodine adsorption.

Abstract
Presented herein is an example of the conversion of an aluminum oxo cluster (AlOC) to an aluminum oxo cluster organic cage (AlOCOC). We successfully synthesized the first example of an aluminum cluster-based organic cage-Al12 tetrahedral cage via an Al3 cluster. The use of 4-pyrazolecarboxylic acid plays an important role in the construction of the organic cage. Due to the presence of partially deprotonated ligands, the hydrogen-bonding interactions between the discrete tetrahedra generate porous supramolecular structures. Considering the high porosity and the abundant N-H sites, we further investigated the performance of the material towards iodine capture.

Abstract
Metallic clusters, assembled by functional motifs, possess the attribute of regulating the properties by changing inorganic and organic components. In this work, a series of aluminum-oxo clusters, [Al6O(dmp)4(Hdmp)2]·2iPrOH [Al6-1, H3dmp = 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid], [Al6(H2thmmg)6]·2DMF·2H2O [Al6-2, H5thmmg = N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylglycine], [Al8(OH)4(NAP-OH)12(MeO)7(MeOH)]Cl·7MeCN·3MeOH (Al8, HNAP-OH = 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid), and [Al10(NA)10(MeO)20] (Al10, HNA = nicotinic acid), were obtained based on different carboxylic acids, realizing metallic ring size enlargement from 5.91 to 9.32 Å. They all exhibit good chemical stability. Importantly, the Al8 cluster displays obvious photochromic behavior from pale yellow to orange yellow, originating from the generation of photoinduced radicals in the metal-assisted ligand-ligand electron transfer process of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (HNAP-OH). This work enriches the metal ring cluster chemistry and reports the example of the aluminum-oxo cluster-based photochromic material, developing a novel system of photochromic materials.

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

Abstract
Metal-containing clusters have attracted increasing attention over the past 2-3 decades. This intense interest can be attributed to the fact that these discrete metal aggregates, whose atomically precise structures are resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), often possess intriguing geometrical features (high symmetry, aesthetically pleasing shapes and architectures) and fascinating physical properties, providing invaluable opportunities for the intersection of different disciplines including chemistry, physics, mathematical geometry and materials science. In this review, we attempt to reinterpret and connect these fascinating clusters from the perspective of Platonic and Archimedean solid characteristics, focusing on highly symmetrical and complex metal-containing (metal = Al, Ti, V, Mo, W, U, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, lanthanoids (Ln), and actinoids) high-nuclearity clusters, including metal-oxo/hydroxide/chalcogenide clusters and metal clusters (with metal-metal binding) protected by surface organic ligands, such as thiolate, phosphine, alkynyl, carbonyl and nitrogen/oxygen donor ligands. Furthermore, we present the symmetrical beauty of metal cluster structures and the geometrical similarity of different types of clusters and provide a large number of examples to show how to accurately describe the metal clusters from the perspective of highly symmetrical polyhedra. Finally, knowledge and further insights into the design and synthesis of unknown metal clusters are put forward by summarizing these "star" molecules.

Abstract
In this paper, we report a unique type of core-shell crystalline material that combines an inorganic zeolitic cage structure with a macrocyclic host arrangement and that can remove trace levels of iodine from water effectively. These unique assemblies are made up of an inorganic Archimedean truncatedhexahedron (tcu) polyhedron in the kernel which possesses six calixarene-like shell cavities. The cages have good adaptability to guests and can be assembled into a series of supramolecular structures in the crystalline state with different lattice pore shapes. Due to the unique core-shell porous structures, the compounds are not only stable in organic solvents but also in water. The characteristics of the cages enable rapid iodine capture from low concentration aqueous I2/KI solutions (down to 4 ppm concentration). We have studied the detailed process and mechanism of iodine capture and aggregation at the molecular level. The facile synthesis, considerable adsorption capacity, recyclability, and β- and γ-radiation resistance of the cages should make these materials suitable for the extraction of iodine from aqueous effluent streams (most obviously, radioactive iodide produced by atomic power generation). The removal of radioactive elements is important to human health and sustainable development. Here, the authors reveal the synthesis of water-stable Archimedean solids based on the earth-abundant element for the fast removal of trace iodine.

Abstract
ConspectusAtomically precise titanium-oxo clusters (TOCs) are the structure and reactivity model compounds of technically important TiO2 materials, which could help build structure-property relationships and achieve property modulation at the molecular level. However, the traditional formation of TOCs has relied on the poorly controllable hydrolysis of titanium alkoxide in the solvent for a long time, limiting the development of TOC structural chemistry to a great extent. In addition, easily hydrolyzable alkoxy groups would be still coordinated on the surface of the TOCs generated by this method, making the clusters sensitive and unstable to the moisture. To achieve controllable preparation of TOCs, we believe it is crucial to attenuate the hydrolysis of titanium ions in the formation process of a cluster. To this end, we have recently applied an effective coordination-delayed-hydrolysis (CDH) strategy for TOC synthesis, which provides powerful tools for tuning their structures.In this Account, at the beginning, a brief introduction to the coordination-delayed-hydrolysis strategy is supplied, and its predominant features for constructing novel TOCs are highlighted. In subsequent sections, we discuss how the applied chelating organic/inorganic ligands (named hydrolysis delayed ligands) influence the hydrolysis process of Ti4+ ions to form a large family of TOCs with various nuclearities and core structures. Various hydrolysis delayed ligands have been explored, ranging from common O-donor ligands (carboxylate, phenol, or sulfate) to rarely used N-donor ligands (pyrazole) or bifunctional O/N-donor ones (quinoline, oxime, or alkanolamine). Breakthroughs in the symmetry, configuration, and cluster nuclei of TOCs have been accordingly achieved. Then, we show that this CDH method can be used to tune the surface structure of TOCs by modifying functional organic ligands. As a result, the physicochemical properties of TOCs, especially optical band gaps, can be optimized, and their stability under ambient conditions is significantly improved. In addition, we illustrate that the reversible bonds between hydrolysis delayed ligands and Ti ions further allows us to introduce active heterometal ions or clusters upon or inside the Ti-O cores to prepare heterometallic TOCs with unprecedented structures and properties. In particular, noble metal (Ag ions or clusters) has been incorporated into Ti-O clusters for the first time. As a summary, the coordination-delayed-hydrolysis strategy has realized the controllable hydrolysis of Ti4+ ions to some extent, breaking through the limitations of traditional synthesis methods and producing fruitful results in the field of titanium-oxo clusters. It is believed that this CDH method would also be effective for synthesizing oxo clusters of other easily hydrolyzed metal ions (Al3+, Sn4+, In3+, etc.) to afford significant contribution for the cluster community.

Abstract
The solvothermal reaction of titanium isopropoxide and chromate in the presence of benzoate produced two novel host-guest clusters encapsulating Cs+ or H3O+, (H3O)@Ti7Cr14 and Cs@Ti7Cr14. The most remarkable feature is that the Ti7O7 ring is concentrically embraced by a Cr14O14 ring to form a rigid Ti7Cr14 host. ESI-MS and 133Cs NMR revealed that the overall framework structures are preserved, whereas the benzoate ligands on the two clusters may be labile in solutions. Both (H3O)@Ti7Cr14 and Cs@Ti7Cr14 exhibit good UV-vis light-responsive properties and photocatalytic activities, with absorption edges extending up to 780 nm. Cs@Ti7Cr14 is an effective visible-light-responsive photocatalyst in both the heterogeneous methylene dye degradation and homogeneous CO2 cycloaddition reaction under mild conditions like room temperature and 1 bar of CO2. According to the mechanism studies, Cs+, as a rigid guest, can significantly improve the photogenerated charge separation efficiency of the Ti7Cr14 host, thereby improving its interface charge separation properties, photocurrent, and photocatalytic activities. Our findings not only provide new members of heterometallic titanium oxide clusters to enrich the metal oxide cluster family but also open up new possibilities for their photoresponses, which may play an important role in solar energy harvesting for sustainable chemistry.

Abstract
Radioactive iodine (129I and 131I), produced or released from nuclear-related activities, posed severe effects on both human health and environment. The efficient removal of radioiodine from aqueous medium and vapor phase is of paramount importance for the sustainable development of nuclear energy. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet with a positive charge was constructed for the capture of iodine for the first time. The as-synthesized ultrathin nanosheets, with a thickness of 4.4 ± 0.1 nm, showed a record-high iodine adsorption capacity (3704.08 mg g-1) from aqueous solution, which is even higher than that from the vapor phase (3510.05 mg g-1). It can be ascribed to the fully interactions between the extensive accessible active sites on the largely exposed surface of 2D MOF nanosheets and the target pollutants, which also gave rise to fast adsorption kinetics with relative high removal efficiencies in the low concentrations, even in seawater. Moreover, a facile recyclability with fast desorption kinetics can also be achieved for the MOF nanosheets. The excellent iodine removal performance in aqueous solution demonstrated that the electrostatic attraction between MOF nanosheets with a positive charge and the negatively charged triiodide (I3-, the dominant form of iodine in aqueous solution) is the driving force in adsorption, which endows the adsorbents with the characteristics of fast adsorption and desorption kinetics. The adsorption mechanism was systematically verified by the studies of ζ potential, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectra.

Abstract
Large-scale nuclear power plant production of iodine radionuclides (129 I, 131 I) pose huge threat in the events of nuclear disaster. Effective removal of radioiodine from nuclear waste is one of the most critical challenge because of the drawbacks of state-of-the-art adsorbents such as high cost, low uptake capacity and non-recyclability. Herein, two hydroxy-functionalized (-OH) hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs), namely HCP-91 and HCP-92, have been synthesized and employed towards capture of iodine. High chemical stability along with synergistic harmony of high porosity and functionality of these materials makes them suitable candidates for capture of iodine from both vapor phase and water medium. Moreover, both the HCPs showed superior iodine removal performance from water in terms of fast kinetics and high removal efficiency (2.9 g g-1 and 2.49 g g-1 for HCP-91 and HCP-92 respectively). The role of functionality (-OH groups) and porosity has been established with the help of HCP-91, HCP-92 and non-functionalized biphenyl HCP for the efficient capture of I3 - ions from water. In addition, both HCPs exhibited excellent selectivity and recyclability towards triiodide ions, rendering the potential of these materials towards real-time applications. Lastly, Density functional theoretical studies revealed key insights and corroborate well with the experimental findings.

Abstract
Environmental damage from serious nuclear accidents should be urgently restored, which needs the removal of radioactive species. Radioactive iodine isotopes are particularly problematic for human health because they are released in large amounts and retain radioactivity for a substantial time. Herein, we prepare platinum-coated iron nanoparticles (Fe@Pt) as a highly selective and reusable adsorbent for iodine species, i.e., iodide (I-), iodine (I2), and methyl iodide (CH3I). Fe@Pt selectively separates iodine species from seawater and groundwater with a removal efficiency ≥ 99.8%. The maximum adsorption capacity for the iodine atom of all three iodine species was determined to be 25 mg/g. The magnetic properties of Fe@Pt allow for the facile recovery and reuse of Fe@Pt, which remains stable with high efficiency (97.5%) over 100 uses without structural and functional degradation in liquid media. Practical application to the removal of radioactive 129I and feasibility for scale-up using a 20 L system demonstrate that Fe@Pt can function as a reusable adsorbent for the selective removal of iodine species. This systematic procedure is a standard protocol for designing highly active adsorbents for the clean separation and removal of various chemical species dissolved in wastewater.

Abstract
The reaction of 5,5'-([2,2'-bipyridine]-5,5'-diyl)diisophthalaldehyde (BPDDP) with cyclohexanediamine and [benzidine (BZ)/[2,2'-bipyridine]-5,5'-diamine (BPDA)], respectively, affords a nitrogen-rich porous organic cage BPPOC and two two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs), USTB-1 and USTB-2 (USTB = University of Science and Technology Beijing), under suitable conditions. Interestingly, BPPOC with a single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure is able to successfully transform into USTB-1 and USTB-2 (newly converted COFs denoted as USTB-1c and USTB-2c, respectively) upon exchange of the imine unit of cyclohexanediamine in the cage by BZ and BPDA. Such a transformation also enables the isolation of analogous COFs (USTB-3c and USTB-4c) on the basis of an isostructural organic cage, BTPOC, which is derived from 5,5'-([2,2'-bithiophene]-4,4'-diyl)diisophthalaldehyde (BTDDP) and cyclohexanediamine. However, the conventional solvothermal reaction between BTDDP and BPDA leads to an impure phase of USTB-4 containing incompletely converted aldehyde groups due to the limited solubility of the building block. The newly prepared COFs have been characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. In particular, BPPOC is able to absorb the iodine vapor with an uptake of 5.64 g g-1, breaking the porous organic cage's (POC's) record value of 3.78 g g-1. Nevertheless, the cage-derived COFs exhibit improved iodine vapor adsorption capability in comparison with the directly synthesized counterparts, with the highest uptake of 5.80 g g-1 for USTB-1c. The mechanism investigation unveils the superiority of nitrogen atoms to sulfur atoms for POCs in iodine vapor capture with the assistance of definite crystal structures. This, in combination with porosity, synergistically influences the iodine vapor capture capacity of COFs.

Abstract
The removal of the pollutants from the environment is the need of the environmental protection. ZIF-8 is promising adsorbents, and the construction of ZIF-8 assembly is essential to boost its performance. Here, we showed the easy synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) assembly built by ZIF-8 particles (2D A-ZIF-8) for the high-efficient capture of the iodine (I2) and dyes. The assembly was synthesized by the controllable reaction of 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM) with 2D Zn-glycerol (Zn-GL) precursor. Time-dependent experiments showed the predominant replacement of GL at outer boundary and then basic plane of the precursor by 2-MIM. The assembly can be synthesized with high output and combined the advantage of large accessible surface of 2D sheets, the plentiful pores of ZIF-8 and enhanced stability of assembly, endowing the large potential as adsorbent. The high adsorption capacity of I2 (200 wt%) was achieved on A-ZIF-8, while it is about 128 wt% on traditional dodecahedronal ZIF-8. The assembly also showed the excellent adsorption capacity for methyl orange (MO) (46.3 mg g-1) and methylene blue (MB) (46.5 mg g-1) at a concentration of 50 mg L-1. It can be easily separated for reuse benefited from the large size and enhanced stability of assembly.

Abstract
Electrical conduction among metallocycles has been unexplored because of the difficulty in creating electronic transport pathways. In this work, we present an electrocrystallization strategy for synthesizing an intrinsically electron-conductive metallocycle, [Ni6(NDI-Hpz)6(dma)12(NO3)6]·5DMA·nH2O (PMC-hexagon) (NDI-Hpz = N,N'-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxdiimide). The hexagonal metallocycle units are assembled into a densely packed ABCABC… sequence (like the fcc geometry) to construct one-dimensional (1D) helical π-stacked columns and 1D pore channels, which were maintained under the liberation of H2O molecules. The NDI cores were partially reduced to form radicals as charge carriers, resulting in a room-temperature conductivity of (1.2-2.1) × 10-4 S cm-1 (pressed pellet), which is superior to that of most NDI-based conductors including metal-organic frameworks and organic crystals. These findings open up the use of metallocycles as building blocks for fabricating conductive porous molecular materials.

Abstract
Lignin is a natural O-containing aromatic amorphous polymers from the residues of biorefinery and industrial papermaking, it can derive lots of aromatic phenol chemicals used as industrial raw materials by an efficient depolymerization, and then produce synthetic polymers. Here, we selected six aromatic units from the liquid products of lignin depolymerization, and tried to prepare diversified O-rich hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCPs) by one-pot Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction for CO2 and iodine vapor capture. HCP1, HCP2, and HCP3 microspheres possessed similar porous structure with Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas (SBET) of 14.1-20.6 m2/g and high O content (26.34-30.68 wt%), while HCP4, HCP5, and HCP6 were composed of many bulks with 3D networks structure, and showed larger SBET of 15.4-246.9 m2/g and relatively low O content (18.48-26.38 wt%). The results indicated that the chemical position and quantities of substituent groups (methoxy and alkyl) into lignin-derived units had evident impact on their morphology and textural parameters. These HCPs exhibited considerable CO2 uptake (64.1 mg/g) and selectivity (35.2) at 273 K, and high iodine vapor uptake (192.3 wt%). Moreover, the performance analysis implied that the SBET and pore volume of these HCPs had not played the dominated roles in the CO2 and I2 adsorption, while their pore size distribution, O-functional groups, and electron density will be more important for the capture of the both. This study will offer a facile synthesis of O-rich polymer microsphere adsorbents based on the green and sustainable lignin.

Abstract
We demonstrate the assembly of a mononuclear metal center, a hexanuclear cluster, and a V-shaped, trapezoidal tetracarboxylate linker into a microporous metal-organic framework featuring an unprecedented 3-nodal (4,4,8)-c lyu topology. The compound, HIAM-302, represents the first example that incorporates both a primary building unit and a hexanuclear secondary building unit in one structure, which should be attributed to the desymmetrized geometry of the organic linker. HIAM-302 possesses optimal pore dimensions and can separate monobranched and dibranched alkanes through selective molecular sieving, which is of significant value in the petrochemical industry.
