Abstract
The design and synthesis of efficient electrochemical sensors are crucial transformation technologies in electrochemistry. We successfully synthesize a three-dimensional Ni-metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructured material with a superior architecture using benzimidazole and nickel nitrate as precursors at room temperature which is being applied in glucose electrochemical sensors. The reaction mechanism of M-6 during glucose detection is thoroughly studied using various characterization techniques, such as in situ Raman spectroscopy, in situ ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, synchrotron radiography, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The research findings demonstrate that the M-6 material exhibits high sensitivity for glucose detection, with a sensitivity of 2199.88 mA M-1 cm-2. This study provides an important reference for designing more efficient electrochemical reaction systems and optimizing material performance. Furthermore, the superstructural design offers new ideas and possibilities for the development and application of similar materials.

Monodentate Phosphinoamine Nickel Complex Supported on a Metal-Organic Framework for High-Performance Ethylene Dimerization. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2309540. [PMID: 38837615 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202309540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Ethylene dimerization is an efficient industrial chemical process to produce 1-butene, with demanding selectivity and activity requirements on new catalytic systems. Herein, a series of monodentate phosphinoamine-nickel complexes immobilized on UiO-66 are described for ethylene dimerization. These catalysts display extensive molecular tunability of the ligand similar to organometallic catalysis, while maintaining the high stability attributed to the metal-organic framework (MOF) scaffold. The highly flexible postsynthetic modification method enables this study to prepare MOFs functionalized with five different substituted phosphines and 3 N-containing ligands and identify the optimal catalyst UiO-66-L5-NiCl2 with isopropyl substituted nickel mono-phosphinoamine complex. This catalyst shows a remarkable activity and selectivity with a TOF of 29 000 (molethyl/molNi/h) and 99% selectivity for 1-butene under ethylene pressure of 15 bar. The catalyst is also applicable for continuous production in the packed column micro-reactor with a TON of 72 000 (molethyl/molNi). The mechanistic insight for the ethylene oligomerization has been examined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The calculated energy profiles for homogeneous complexes and truncated MOF models reveal varying rate-determining step as β-hydrogen elimination and migratory insertion, respectively. The activation barrier of UiO-66-L5-NiCl2 is lower than other systems, possibly due to the restriction effect caused by clusters and ligands. A comprehensive analysis of the structural parameters of catalysts shows that the cone angle as steric descriptor and butene desorption energy as thermodynamic descriptor can be applied to estimate the reactivity turnover frequency (TOF) with the optimum for UiO-66-L5-NiCl2. This work represents the systematic optimization of ligand effect through combination of experimental and theoretical data and presents a proof-of-concept for ethylene dimerization catalyst through simple heterogenization of organometallic catalyst on MOF.

Abstract
Electron microscopy, an important technique that allows for the precise determination of structural information with high spatiotemporal resolution, has become indispensable in unravelling the complex relationships between material structure and properties ranging from mesoscale morphology to atomic arrangement. However, beam-sensitive materials, particularly those comprising organic components such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), would suffer catastrophic damage from the high energy electrons, hindering the determination of atomic structures. A low-dose approach has arisen as a possible solution to this problem based on the integration of advancements in several aspects: electron optical system, detector, image processing, and specimen preservation. This article summarizes the transmission electron microscopy characterization of MOFs and COFs, including local structures, host-guest interactions, and interfaces at the atomic level. Revolutions in advanced direct electron detectors, algorithms in image acquisition and processing, and emerging methodology for high quality low-dose imaging are also reviewed. Finally, perspectives on the future development of electron microscopy methodology with the support of computer science are presented.

Abstract
Converting CO2 to synthetic hydrocarbon fuels is of increasing interest. In light of progress in electrified CO2 to ethylene, we explored routes to dimerize to 1-butene, an olefin that can serve as a building block to ethylene longer-chain alkanes. With goal of selective and active dimerization, we investigate a series of metal-organic frameworks having bimetallic catalytic sites. We find that the tunable pore structure enables optimization of selectivity and that periodic pore channels enhance activity. In a tandem system for the conversion of CO2 to 1-C4H8, wherein the outlet cathodic gas from a CO2-to-C2H4 electrolyzer is fed directly (via a dehumidification stage) into the C2H4 dimerizer, we study the highest-performing MOF found herein: M' = Ru and M″ = Ni in the bimetallic two-dimensional M'2(OAc)4M″(CN)4 MOF. We report a 1-C4H8 production rate of 1.3 mol gcat-1 h-1 and a C2H4 conversion of 97%. From these experimental data, we project an estimated cradle-to-gate carbon intensity of -2.1 kg-CO2e/kg-1-C4H8 when CO2 is supplied from direct air capture and when the required energy is supplied by electricity having the carbon intensity of wind.

Abstract
Carbon-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted tremendous interest in heterogeneous catalysis. However, the common electric heating techniques to produce carbon-based SACs usually suffer from prolonged heating time and tedious operations. Herein, a general and facile microwave-assisted rapid pyrolysis method is developed to afford carbon-based SACs within 3 min without inert gas protection. The obtained carbon-based SACs present high porosity and comparable carbonization degree to those obtained by electric heating techniques. Specifically, the single-atom Ni implanted N-doped carbon (Ni1 -N-C) derived from a Ni-doped metal-organic framework (Ni-ZIF-8) exhibits remarkable CO Faradaic efficiency (96 %) with a substantial CO partial current density (jCO ) up to 1.06 A/cm2 in CO2 electroreduction, far superior to the counterpart obtained by traditional pyrolysis with electric heating. Mechanism investigations reveal that the resulting Ni1 -N-C presents abundant defective sites and mesoporous structure, greatly facilitating CO2 adsorption and mass transfer. This work establishes a versatile approach to rapid and large-scale synthesis of SACs as well as other carbon-based materials for efficient catalysis.

Abstract
The successful synthesis of finely tuned Ni1.5 Sn nanoalloy phases containing ZnO catalyst with a small particle size (6.7 nm) from a mixed-metal zeolitic imidazolate framework (MM-ZIF) is investigated. The catalyst was evaluated for the efficient production of 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO) from crude glycerol and comprehensively characterized using several analytical techniques. Among the catalysts, 3Ni1Sn/ZnO (Ni/Sn=3/1) showed the best catalytic performance and produced the highest yield (94.2 %) of 1,2-PDO at ~100 % conversion of glycerol; it also showed low apparent activation energy (15.4 kJ/mol) and excellent stability. The results demonstrated that the synergy between Ni-Sn alloy, finely dispersed Ni metallic sites, and the Lewis acidity of SnOx species-loaded ZnO played a pivotal role in the high activity and selectivity of the catalyst. The confirmation of acetol intermediate and theoretical calculations verify the Ni1.5 Sn phases provide the least energetic pathway for the formation of 1,2-PDO selectively. The reusability of solvent for successive ZIF synthesis, along with the excellent recyclability of the ZIF-derived catalyst, enables an overall sustainable process. We believe that the present synthetic protocol that uses MM-ZIF for the conversion of various biomass-derived platform chemicals into valuable products can be applied to various nanoalloy preparations.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subclass of metal-organic framework that have attracted considerable attention as potential functional materials due to their high chemical stability and ease of synthesis. ZIFs are usually composed of zinc ions coordinated with imidazole linkers, with some other transition metals, such as Cu(II) and Co(II), also showing potential as ZIF-forming cations. Despite the importance of nickel in catalysis, no Ni-based ZIF with permanent porosity is yet reported. It is found that the presence and arrangement of the carbonyl functional groups on the imidazole linker play a crucial role in completing the preferred octahedral coordination of nickel, revealing a promising platform for the rational design of Ni-based ZIFs for a wide range of catalytic applications. Herein, the synthesis of the first Ni-based ZIFs is reported and their high potential as heterogeneous catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling C─C bond forming reactions is demonstrated.

Abstract
The last decade has seen a tremendous expansion of the field of heterogenized molecular catalysis, especially with the growing interest in metal-organic frameworks and related porous hybrid solids. With successful achievements in the transfer from molecular homogeneous catalysis to heterogenized processes come the necessary discussions on methodologies used and a critical assessment on the advantages of heterogenizing molecular catalysis. Here we use the example of nickel-catalyzed ethylene oligomerization, a reaction of both fundamental and applied interest, to review heterogenization methodologies of well-defined molecular catalysts within porous solids while addressing the biases in the comparison between original molecular systems and heterogenized counterparts.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis plays an indispensable role in chemical production and energy conversion. Incorporation of transition metals into metal oxides and zeolites is a common strategy to fine-tune the activity and selectivity of the resulting solid catalysts, as either the active center or promotor. Studying the underlying mechanism is however challenging. Decorating the metal-oxo clusters with transition metals in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via postsynthetic modification offers a rational approach to construct well-defined structural models for better understanding of the reaction mechanism. Therefore, it is important to expand the materials scope beyond the currently widely studied zirconium MOFs consisting of Zr6 nodes. In this work, we report the design and synthesis of a new (4,12)-connected Zr-MOF with ith topology that consists of rare Zr9 nodes. FeIII was further incorporated onto the Zr9 nodes of the framework, and the resulting MOF material exhibits significantly enhanced activity and selectivity toward the photocatalytic oxidation of toluene. This work demonstrates a delicate ligand design strategy to control the nuclearity of Zr-oxo clusters, which further dictates the number and binding sites of transition metals and the overall photocatalytic activity toward C-H activation. Our work paves the way for future exploration of the structure-activity study of catalysts using MOFs as the model system.

Abstract
Catalysts played a crucial role in advancing modern human civilization, from ancient times to the industrial revolution. Due to high cost and limited availability of traditional catalysts, there is a need to develop cost-effective, high-activity, and nonprecious metal-based electrocatalysts. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as an ideal candidate for heterogeneous catalysis due to their physicochemical properties, hybrid inorganic/organic structures, uncoordinated metal sites, and accessible organic sections. MOFs are high nanoporous crystalline materials that can be used as catalysts to facilitate polymerization reactions. Their chemical and structural diversity make them effective for various reactions compared to traditional catalysts. MOFs have been applied in gas storage and separation, ion-exchange, drug delivery, luminescence, sensing, nanofilters, water purification, and catalysis. The review focuses on MOF-enabled heterogeneous catalysis for value-added compound production, including alcohol oxidation, olefin oligomerization, and polymerization reactions. MOFs offer tunable porosity, high spatial density, and single-crystal XRD control over catalyst properties. In this review, MOFs were focused on reactions of CO2 fixation, CO2 reduction, and photoelectrochemical water splitting. Overall, MOFs have great potential as versatile catalysts for diverse applications in the future.

Abstract
The synthesis of metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocomposites with high energy density and excellent mechanical strength is limited by the degree of lattice matching and crystal surface structure. In this study, dodecahedral ZIF-67 is synthesized uniformly on vanadium pentoxide nanowires. The influence of the coordination mode on the surface of ZIF-67 in ethanol is also investigated. Benefitting from the different coordination abilities of Ni2+ , Co2+ , and N atoms, spatially separated surface-active sites are created through metal-ion exchange. Furthermore, the incompatibility between the d8 electronic configuration of Ni2+ and the three-dimensional (3D) structure of ZIF-67 afforded the synthesis of hollow structures by controlling the amount of Ni doping. The formation of NiCo-MOF@CoOOH@V2 O5 nanocomposites is confirmed using X-ray absorption fine structure analysis. The high performance of the obtained composite is illustrated by fabricating a 3D-printed micro-supercapacitor, exhibiting a high area specific capacitance of 585 mF cm-2 and energy density of 159.23 µWh cm-2 (at power density = 0.34 mW cm-2 ). The solvent/coordination tuning strategy demonstrated in this study provides a new direction for the synthesis of high-performance nanomaterials for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
The poor electrochemical reaction kinetics of Li polysulfides is a key barrier that prevents the Li-S batteries from widespread applications. Ni single atoms dispersed on carbon matrixes derived from ZIF-8 are a promising type of catalyst for accelerating the conversion of active sulfur species. However, Ni favors a square-planar coordination that can only be doped on the external surface of ZIF-8, leading to a low loading amount of Ni single atoms after pyrolysis. Herein, we demonstrate an in situ trapping strategy to synthesize Ni and melamine-codoped ZIF-8 precursor (Ni-ZIF-8-MA) by simultaneously introducing melamine and Ni during the synthesis of ZIF-8, which can remarkably decrease the particle size of ZIF-8 and further anchor Ni via Ni-N6 coordination. Consequently, a novel high-loading Ni single-atom (3.3 wt %) catalyst implanted in an N-doped nanocarbon matrix (Ni@NNC) is obtained after high-temperature pyrolysis. This catalyst as a separator modifier shows a superior catalytic effect on the electrochemical transitions of Li polysulfides, which endows the corresponding Li-S batteries with a high specific capacity of 1232.4 mA h g-1 at 0.3 C and an excellent rate capability of 814.9 mA h g-1 at 3 C. Furthermore, a superior areal capacity of 4.6 mA h cm-2 with stable cycling over 160 cycles can be achieved under a critical condition with a low electrolyte/sulfur ratio (8.4 μL mg-1) and high sulfur loading (4.85 mg cm-2). The outstanding electrochemical performances can be attributed to the strong adsorption and fast conversion of Li polysulfides on the highly dense active sites of Ni@NNC. This intriguing work provides new inspirations for designing high-loading single-atom catalysts applied in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous hybrid materials with countless potential applications. Most of these rely on their porous structure, tunable composition, and the possibility of incorporating and expanding their functions. Although functionalization of the inner surface of MOF crystals has received considerable attention in recent years, methods to functionalize selectively the outer crystal surface of MOFs are developed to a lesser extent, despite their importance. This article summarizes different types of post-synthetic modifications and possible applications of modified materials such as: catalysis, adsorption, drug delivery, mixed matrix membranes, and stabilization of porous liquids.

Abstract
Here, an ultra-highly active Ni-MOF-5 catalyst with high Ni loading for ethylene dimerization is reported. The Ni-MOF-5 catalysts are synthesized by a facile one-pot co-precipitation method at room temperature, where Ni2+ replaces Zn2+ in MOF-5. Unlike Zn2+ with tetrahedral coordination in MOF-5, Ni2+ is coordinated with extra solvent molecules except for four-oxygen from the framework. After removing coordinated solvent molecules, Ni-MOF-5 achieves an ethylene turnover frequency of 352 000 h-1 , corresponding to 9040 g of product per gram of catalyst per hour, at 35 °C and 50 bar, far exceeding the activities of all reported heterogeneous catalysts. The high Ni loading and full exposure structure account for the excellent catalytic performance. Isotope labeling experiments reveal that the catalytic process follows the Cossee-Arlman mechanism, rationalizing the high activity and selectivity of the catalyst. These results demonstrate that Ni-MOF-5 catalysts are very promising for industrial catalytic ethylene dimerization.

Abstract
Bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) containing two different metal ions can exhibit superior performances when applied in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we present a facile one-pot synthesis method for PdCo-ZIFs with various Pd/Co ratios, where Pd(II) ions are successfully incorporated into the Co node sites of the ZIF structure. The local structure of the bimetallic ZIFs was comprehensively investigated by pore-structure, X-ray absorption fine structure, and in situ CO adsorption Fourier transform infrared analyses. The results demonstrated that the framework comprises different coordination geometries of Co (tetrahedral) and Pd (square planar) ions connected by the benzimidazolate ligand. Notably, the inherently nonporous, 2D Co-ZIF structure was transformed into a hierarchical porous structure, and the PdCo-ZIFs exhibited a significantly increased concentration of defects and distorted Co sites. Based on these results, the catalytic performances of the synthesized ZIFs in the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides were evaluated under a cocatalyst and solvent-free conditions. The PdCo-ZIFs exhibited significantly higher catalytic activity (maximum turnover frequency, TOF = 2501 h-1) than Co-ZIF (TOF = 65 h-1) and Pd-ZIF (no activity), which revealed that the undercoordinated Co sites with distorted structure are the active sites rather than the incorporated Pd ions. This study provides a facile one-pot method for synthesizing bimetallic ZIFs with mixed-coordination modes, hierarchical porous structures, and modified defect concentrations, which would expand the library of structurally diverse bimetallic ZIFs toward various applications.

Abstract
Construction of catalytic metal centers, the key modules in artificial photosynthetic systems, lies at the heart to explore unpaved reactivity patterns powered by light. Here, we disclose that the amino (-NH2) and carboxylic (-COO) functionalities, aligned in various visible-light-harvesting metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (NH2-UiO-66, (NH2)2-UiO-67, and NH2-MIL-125), provide N/O-ligated Ni featuring different configurations and valence states. Of note, these Ni centers, in situ formed or preimplanted, demonstrated coordination units' spatial arrangement-dependent activity in cross-coupling of aryl halides and various nucleophiles. Our work provides a novel approach to construct and to regulate metal center(s) by MOFs' skeleton defined coordination environments, highlighting exclusive potential in exploring the reactivity pattern of the hosted metals.

Abstract
Grafting metal cations to missing linker defect sites in zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks, such as UiO-66, produces a uniquely well-defined and homotopic catalytically active site. We present here the synthesis and characterization of a group of UiO-66-supported metal catalysts, M-UiO-66 (M = Ni, Co, Cu, and Cr), for the catalytic dimerization of alkenes. The hydrogen-deuterium exchange via deuterium oxide adsorption followed by infrared spectroscopy showed that the last molecular water ligand desorbs from the sites after evacuation at 300 °C leading to M(OH)-UiO-66 structures. Adsorption of 1-butene is studied using calorimetry and density functional theory techniques to characterize the interactions of the alkene with metal cation sites that are found active for alkene oligomerization. For the most active Ni-UiO-66, the removal of molecular water from the active site significantly increases the 1-butene adsorption enthalpy and almost doubles the catalytic activity for 1-butene dimerization in comparison to the presence of water ligands. Other M-UiO-66 (M = Co, Cu, and Cr) exhibit 1-3 orders of magnitude lower catalytic activities compared to Ni-UiO-66. The catalytic activities correlate linearly with the Gibbs free energy of 1-butene adsorption. Density functional theory calculations probing the Cossee-Arlman mechanism for all metals support the differences in activity, providing a molecular level understanding of the metal site as the active center for 1-butene dimerization.

Abstract
Designing metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalysts with superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and robust durability simultaneously is highly required yet very challenging due to the limited intrinsic activity and their elusive evolution under harsh OER conditions. Herein, a steady self-reconstructed MOF heterojunction is constructed via redox electrochemistry and topology-guided strategy. Thanks to the inhibiting effect from hydrogen bonds of Ni-BDC-1 (BDC=1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid), the obatained MOF heterojunction shows greatly improved OER activity with low overpotential of 225 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , relative to the totally reconstructed Ni-BDC-3 (332 mV). Density function theory calculations reveal that the formed built-in electric field in the MOF heterojunction remarkably optimizes the ad/desorption free energy of active Ni sites. Moreover, such MOF heterojunction shows superior durability attributed to the shielding effect of the surface-evolved NiOOH coating.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as advanced enzyme immobilization platforms for improving biocatalysis and protein biophysics, are rarely investigated as solid supports in the enzymatic synthesis of carbohydrate and derivatives, which can be attributed to the complex biochemical reaction mechanisms and the adverse interactions between the high polarity of substrate sugars, glycoenzymes and traditional MOFs. Here, we introduced divalent metal ion Mn2+ into MOF to prepare bimetallic MOF microreactor that encapsulated N-acetylhexosamine 1-Kinase (NahK), a critical anomeric kinase involved in the enzymatic synthesis of sugar nucleotide. The introduced Mn ions not only adjusted the microstructure of MOFs, but also participated in the enzymatic catalysis as cofactor, thus facilitated the N-acetylglucosamine/ N-acetylgalactosamine (GlcNAc/GalNAc) phosphorylation. The Mn-doped NahK@Zn-metal organic material (MOM), integrated with high catalytic activity, high stability, and high recoverability, solved the issues of immobilization related to glucokinase activity. These features significantly improved the operability and reduced the processing cost, assuring industrial application prospects for sugar nucleotides synthesis.

Abstract
The nanoarchitecture engineering of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a fascinating but intellectually challenging concept that opens up avenues for both tailoring the properties of MOFs and expanding their applications. Herein, we report the confined growth of ZIF-8 single crystals in a three-dimensionally ordered (3DO) macroporous polystyrene replica and reveal that their growth patterns, morphologies, and nanoarchitectures can be highly engineered using the concentration of the precursor. Impressively, the favorable in situ confined growth enables the successful fabrication of 3DO sphere-assembled ZIF-8 single crystals or 3DO single-crystalline ZIF-8 sphere arrays when a low- or high-concentration precursor solution, respectively, is used as the feedstock. Furthermore, our strategy can be extended to the preparation of other 3DO MOF single crystals, including ZIF-67 and HKUST-1, with similar controllable hierarchical nanoarchitectures. With the successful preparation of a series of diameter-tunable ZIF-8 single-crystalline spheres, we further unravel their interesting size-performance relationship in the Knoevenagle reaction between benzaldehyde and malononitrile, wherein the smallest spheres show the fastest first-order reaction kinetics. This study not only develops a general strategy for engineering the nanoarchitectures of MOF single crystals but also provides fundamental knowledge of the mechanism for the growth of hierarchical single crystals under confined spaces.

Abstract
Single-atom sites can not only act as active centers, but also serve as promising catalyst regulators and/or promoters. However, in many complex reaction systems such as electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), the introduction of single-atom regulators may inevitably induce the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and thus reduce the selectivity. Here, the authors demonstrate that introducing HER-inert main-group metal single atoms adjacent to transition-metal single atoms can modify their electronic structure to enhance the CO2 RR to CO without inducing the HER side reaction. Dual-metal Cu and In single-site atoms anchored on mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon (denoted as Cu-In-NC) are prepared by the pyrolysis of a multimetallic metal-organic framework. Cu-In-NC shows a high faradic efficiency of 96% toward CO formation at -0.7 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, superior to that of its monometallic single-atom counterparts. Density functional theory studies reveal that the HER-inert In sites can activate the adjacent Cu sites through electronic modifications, strengthening the binding of *COOH intermediate and thus boosting the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO.

Abstract
Solid supports are crucial in heterogeneous catalysis due to their profound effects on catalytic activity and selectivity. However, elucidating the specific effects arising from such supports remains challenging. We selected a series of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with 8-connected Zr6 nodes as supports to deposit molybdenum(VI) onto to study the effects of pore environment and topology on the resulting Mo-supported catalysts. As characterized by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), we modulated the chemical environments of the deposited Mo species. For Mo-NU-1000, the Mo species monodentately bound to the Zr6 nodes were anchored in the microporous c-pore, but for Mo-NU-1008 they were bound in the mesopore of Mo-NU-1008. Both monodentate and bidentate modes were found in the mesopore of Mo-NU-1200. Cyclohexene epoxidation with H2O2 was probed to evaluate the support effect on catalytic activity and to unveil the resulting structure-activity relationships. SCXRD and XAS studies demonstrated the atomically precise structural differences of the Mo binding motifs over the course of cyclohexene epoxidation. No apparent structural change was observed for Mo-NU-1000, whereas the monodentate mode of Mo species in Mo-NU-1008 and the monodentate and bidentate Mo species in Mo-NU-1200 evolved to a new bidentate mode bound between two adjacent oxygen atoms from the Zr6 node. This work demonstrates the great advantage of using MOF supports for constructing heterogeneous catalysts with modulated chemical environments of an active species and elucidating structure-activity relationships in the resulting reactions.

Abstract
In-situ encapsulation of tiny and well-dispersed Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) was firstly achieved using a one-pot and facile methanol-mediated growth approach, in which methanol served as both solvent and a mild reductant. The microstructure, morphology, crystallinity, porosity as well as evolution process of the catalysts were determined by TEM, XRD, N2 adsorption and UV-vis spectra. Due to the complete encapsulation of such Pd NPs combined with ultrahigh surface area and uniform microporous structure of ZIF-8, the resulting Pd@ZIF-8-60 min nanocomposite exhibited more superior catalytic activity for olefins hydrogenation with TOF of 7436 h-1 and excellent size selectivity than previously reported catalysts. Furthermore, the catalyst displays excellent recyclability for 1-octene hydrogenation and without any loss of the Pd active species.
