Abstract
Multiple odour nuisance in livestock farming is a notorious problem that has a significant impact on the living environment of surrounding communities. Adsorbents based on metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show great promise for controlling odour pollution, as they offer a high specific surface area, a controllable structure and an abundance of active sites. However, the MOF formation process is prone to problems such as pore clogging or collapse and reduced porosity, which limits its further application. In this study, a series of odour adsorbents were prepared by in situ growth of NH2-UiO-66 on tea stem biochar (TSBC) using a hydrothermal method and named UiO (Zr)-TSBCx. The physical and chemical properties and composition of UiO (Zr)-TSBCx have been systematically characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption and XPS. The release of odours from the pig farm effluent was monitored using in-situ continuous Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS), and the obtained primary compositions were tested for further adsorption. In dynamic adsorption experiments focused on butyric acid, UiO (Zr)-TSBC2 showed a high adsorption capacity of 3.99 × 105 μg/g and exceptional structural stability. UiO (Zr)-TSBC2 showed variable adsorption efficiencies for different odorous gases, with the best performance for the removal of ammonia, toluene and butyric acid. It also demonstrated the ability to rapidly mitigate instantaneous high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol and toluene resulting from agitation. Additionally, based on the relationship between the adsorption amount and the structural characteristics of the adsorbent as well as the nature of the odours, a possible adsorption mechanism of UiO (Zr)-TSBC2 for a variety of odours released from pig farm effluent was proposed. This work demonstrates a novel approach to promote deodorization applications in livestock and poultry farming environments by the in-situ growth of NH2-UiO-66 on biochar prepared from tea stem.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is a carbon-free, hydrogen-rich chemical related to global food safety, clean energy, and environmental protection. As an essential technology for meeting the requirements raised by such issues, NH3 capture has been intensively explored by researchers in both fundamental and applied fields. The four typical methods used are (1) solvent absorption by ionic liquids and their derivatives, (2) adsorption by porous solids, (3) ab-adsorption by porous liquids, and (4) membrane separation. Rooted in the development of advanced materials for NH3 capture, we conducted a coherent review of the design of different materials, mainly in the past 5 years, their interactions with NH3 molecules and construction of transport pathways, as well as the structure-property relationship, with specific examples discussed. Finally, the challenges in current research and future worthwhile directions for NH3 capture materials are proposed.

Abstract
Controlled modulation of electronic and magnetic properties in stimuli-responsive materials provides valuable insights for the design of magnetoelectric or multiferroic devices. This paper demonstrates the modulation of electrical and magnetic properties of a semiconductive, paramagnetic metal-organic framework (MOF) Cu3(C6O6)2 with small gaseous molecules, NH3, H2S, and NO. This study merges chemiresistive and magnetic tests to reveal that the MOF undergoes simultaneous changes in electrical conductance and magnetization that are uniquely modulated by each gas. The features of response, including direction, magnitude, and kinetics, are modulated by the physicochemical properties of the gaseous molecules. This study advances the design of multifunctional materials capable of undergoing simultaneous changes in electrical and magnetic properties in response to chemical stimuli.

Abstract
We report the high adsorption of NH3 in a titanium-based metal-organic framework, MFM-300(Ti), comprising extended [TiO6]∞ chains linked by biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylate ligands. At 273 K and 1 bar, MFM-300(Ti) shows an exceptional NH3 uptake of 23.4 mmol g-1 with a record-high packing density of 0.84 g cm-3. Dynamic breakthrough experiments confirm the excellent uptake and separation of NH3 at low concentration (1000 ppm). The combination of in situ neutron powder diffraction and spectroscopic studies reveal strong, yet reversible binding interactions of NH3 to the framework oxygen sites.

Abstract
Metalation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been developed as a prominent strategy for materials functionalization for pore chemistry modulation and property optimization. By introducing exotic metal ions/complexes/nanoparticles onto/into the parent framework, many metallized MOFs have exhibited significantly improved performance in a wide range of applications. In this review, we focus on the research progress in the metalation of metal-organic frameworks during the last five years, spanning the design principles, synthetic strategies, and potential applications. Based on the crystal engineering principles, a minor change in the MOF composition through metalation would lead to leveraged variation of properties. This review starts from the general strategies established for the incorporation of metal species within MOFs, followed by the design principles to graft the desired functionality while maintaining the porosity of frameworks. Facile metalation has contributed a great number of bespoke materials with excellent performance, and we summarize their applications in gas adsorption and separation, heterogeneous catalysis, detection and sensing, and energy storage and conversion. The underlying mechanisms are also investigated by state-of-the-art techniques and analyzed for gaining insight into the structure-property relationships, which would in turn facilitate the further development of design principles. Finally, the current challenges and opportunities in MOF metalation have been discussed, and the promising future directions for customizing the next-generation advanced materials have been outlined as well.

Abstract
The selective capture of methane (CH4) at low concentrations and its separation from N2 are extremely challenging owing to the weak host-guest interactions between CH4 molecules and any sorbent material. Here, we report the exceptional adsorption of CH4 at low pressure and the efficient separation of CH4/N2 by MFM-300(Fe). MFM-300(Fe) shows a very high uptake for CH4 of 0.85 mmol g-1 at 1 mbar and 298 K and a record CH4/N2 selectivity of 45 for porous solids, representing a new benchmark for CH4 capture and CH4/N2 separation. The excellent separation of CH4/N2 by MFM-300(Fe) has been confirmed by dynamic breakthrough experiments. In situ neutron powder diffraction, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopies, coupled with modelling, reveal a unique and strong binding of CH4 molecules involving Fe-OH⋯CH4 and C⋯phenyl ring interactions within the pores of MFM-300(Fe), thus promoting the exceptional adsorption of CH4 at low pressure.

Abstract
The demand for the detection of ultralow concentrations of ammonia gas is growing. A bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) comprising Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) was used to achieve highly sensitive and stable detection of ammonia gas at room temperature in this study. First, PB was enriched by using ammonia for improved gas sensing properties. Second, a sensitive membrane with more vacancies was formed by partially replacing Fe3+ with Cu2+ through a cation-exchange strategy. Finally, a capacitive sensor was developed for ultralow-concentration ammonia detection using a Cu-Fe PBA sensitive membrane and interdigitated electrodes (IDEs). To investigate the adsorption efficiency of the designed composite sensitive film for ammonia, PBAs nanoparticles were deposited on a quartz microcrystal balance (QCM) via cyclic voltammetry and a hydrothermal method. Approximately 10 ppm of ammonia was adsorbed under 1 atm by the Cu-Fe PBA film prepared using a reaction time of 36 h, and the adsorption efficiency was measured to be 2.2 mmol g-1 using the QCM frequency response. The Cu-Fe PBAs were also tested using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller theory. The introduction of Cu2+ ions significantly increased the specific surface area of Cu-Fe PBAs MOF, and the number of adsorption sites for ammonia also increased; however, its skeleton structure remained similar to that of PB. Then, the capacitive sensor based on Cu-Fe PBA sensitive membrane and IDE was fabricated and the gas sensing detection device was established for ammonia detection. Overall, the developed capacitive sensor exhibits a linear response of 75-1000 ppb and a detection limit of 3.8 ppb for ultralow ammonia concentrations, which makes it superior to traditional detection methods and thus allows excellent application prospects.

Abstract
Purifying C2H6/C3H8 from a ternary natural gas mixture through adsorption separation is an important but challenging process in the petrochemical industry. To address this challenge, the industry is exploring effective strategies for designing high-performance adsorbents. In this study, we present two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), DMOF-TF and DMOF-(CF3)2, which have fluorinated pores obtained by substituting linker ligands in the host material. This pore engineering strategy not only provides suitable pore confinement but also enhances the adsorption capacities for C2H6/C3H8 by providing additional binding sites. Theoretical calculations and transient breakthrough experiments show that the introduction of F atoms not only improves the efficiency of natural gas separation but also provides multiple adsorption sites for C2H6/C3H8-framework interactions.

Abstract
Biogas is being promoted as a renewable and clean energy source. However, NH3 is a precursor of NOx and PM2.5 within the biogas, threatening ecological and human health. Therein, recycling waste NH3 from the biogas as a raw material of nitrogen fertilizer was tested by optimizing polyester as a sorbent material. After homogeneous catalysis, the converted polyester significantly increased the NH3 adsorption sites within polyester nanopores; correspondingly, the NH3 adsorption capacity increased from 0.56 mg·g-1 to 84.07 mg·g-1. Based on the structural characterization of polyesters, functional groups analysis before and after adsorption, and kinetic analysis during adsorption, chemical adsorption was identified as the dominant mechanism for NH3 adsorption. Moreover, selective adsorption and the regeneration experiments to optimize polyester indicated that NH3 could be efficiently separated from biogas with good regeneration performance. The results demonstrate the efficacy of recycling waste polyester and NH3 from the biogas.

Abstract
UiO-66 is one of the most valuable metal-organic frameworks because of its excellent adsorption capability for gas molecules and its high stability towards water. Herein we investigated adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO2), acetone, and methanol to infinite UiO-66 using DFT calculations on an infinite system under periodic-boundary conditions and post-Hartree-Fock (SCS-MP2 and MP2.5) calculations on cluster models. Three to four molecules are adsorbed at each of four μ-OH groups bridging three Zr atoms in one unit cell (named Site I). Six molecules are adsorbed around three pillar ligands, where the molecule is loosely surrounded by three terephthalate ligands (named Site II). Also, six molecules are adsorbed around the pillar ligand in a different manner from that at Site II, where the molecule is surrounded by three terephthalate ligands (named Site III). Totally fifteen to sixteen CO2 molecules are adsorbed into one unit cell of UiO-66. The binding energy (BE) decreases in the order Site I > Site III > Site II for all three molecules studied here and in the order acetone > methanol ≫ CO2 in the three adsorption sites. At the site I, the protonic H atom of the μ-OH group interacts strongly with the negatively charged O atom of CO2, acetone and methanol, which is the origin of the largest BE value at this site. Although the DFT calculations present these decreasing orders of BE values correctly, the correction by post-Hartree-Fock calculations is not negligibly small and must be added for obtaining better BE values. We explored NMR spectra of UiO-66 with adsorbed CO2 molecules and found that the isotropic shielding constants of the 1H atom significantly differ among no CO2, one CO2 (at Sites I, II, or III), and fifteen CO2 adsorption cases (Sites I to III) but the isotropic 17O and 13C shielding constants change moderately by adsorption of fifteen CO2 molecules. Thus, 1H NMR measurement is a useful experiment for investigating CO2 adsorption.

Abstract
The efficient catalysis of nitrogen (N2 ) into high-value N-containing products plays a crucial role in the N economic cycle. However, weak N2 adsorption and invalid N2 activation remain two major bottlenecks in rate-determining steps, leading to low N2 fixation performance. Herein, an effective dual active sites photocatalyst of polyoxometalates (POMs)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is highlighted via altering coordination microenvironment and inducing directional shunting of photogenerated carriers to facilitate N2 /catalyst interaction and enhance oxidation performance. MOFs create more open unsaturated metal cluster sites with unoccupied d orbital possessing Lewis acidity to accept electrons from the 3σg bonding orbital of N2 for storage by combining with POMs to replace bidentate linkers. POMs act as electron sponges donating electrons to MOFs, while the holes directional flow to POMs. The hole-rich POMs with strong oxidation capacity are easily involved in oxidizing adsorbed N2 . Taking UiO-66 (C48 H28 O32 Zr6 ) and Mo72 Fe30 ([Mo72 Fe30 O252 (CH3 COO)12 {Mo2 O7 (H2 O)}2 {H2 Mo2 O8 (H2 O)}(H2 O)91 ]·150H2 O) as an example, Mo72 Fe30 @UiO-66 shows twofold enhanced adsorption of N2 (250.5 cm3 g-1 ) than UiO-66 (122.9 cm3 g-1 ) at P/P0 = 1. And, the HNO3 yield of Mo72 Fe30 @UiO-66 is 702.4 µg g-1 h-1 , ≈7 times and 24 times higher than UiO-66 and Mo72 Fe30 . This work provides reliable value for the storage and relaying artificial N2 fixation.

Abstract
ConspectusMetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid porous materials characterized by their periodic assembly using metal ions and organic ligands through coordination bonds. Their high crystallinity, extensive surface area, and adjustable pore sizes make them promising candidates for a wide array of applications. These include gas adsorption and separation, substrate binding, and catalysis, of relevance to tackling pressing global issues such as climate change, energy challenges, and pollution. In comparison to traditional porous materials such as zeolites and activated carbons, the design flexibility of organic ligands in MOFs, coupled with their orderly arrangement with associated metal centers, allows for the precise engineering of uniform pore environments. This unique feature enables a rich variety of interactions between the MOF host and adsorbed gas molecules, which are fundamental to understanding the observed uptake capacity and selectivity for target gas molecules and thus the overall performance of the material.In this Account, a data set for three-dimensional MOFs has been constructed based upon the structural analysis of host-guest interactions using the largest experimental database, the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). A full screening was performed on structures with guest molecules of H2, C2H2, CO2, and SO2, and the relationship between the primary binding site, the isosteric heats of adsorption (Qst), and the adsorption uptake was extracted and established. We review the methodologies to refine host-guest interactions based primarily on our studies on the host-guest chemistry of MOFs. The methods include ligand functionalization, variation of metal centers, formation of defects, addition of single atom sites, and control of pore size and structure. In situ structural and dynamic investigations using diffraction and spectroscopic techniques are powerful tools to visualize the details of host-guest interactions upon the above modifications, affording key insights into functional performance at a molecular level. Finally, we give an outlook of future research priorities in the study of host-guest chemistry in MOF materials. We hope this Account will encourage the rational development and improvement of future MOF-based sorbents for applications in challenging gas adsorption, separations, and catalysis.

Abstract
Precise control of the structure and spatial distance of Lewis acid (LA) and Lewis base (LB) sites in a porous system to construct efficient solid frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) catalyst is vital for industrial application but remains challenging. Herein, we constructed FLP sites in a polyoxometalate (POM)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) by introducing coordination-defect metal nodes (LA) and surface-basic POM with abundant oxygen (LB). The well-defined and unique spatial conformation of the defective POM-based MOF ensure that the distance between LA and LB is at ~4.3 Å, a suitable distance to activate H2 . This FLP catalyst can heterolytically dissociate H2 into active Hδ- , thus exhibiting high activity in hydrogenation, which is 55 and 2.7 times as high as that of defect-free POM-based MOF and defective MOF without POM, respectively. This work provides a new avenue toward precise design multi-site catalyst to achieve specific activation of target substrate for synergistic catalysis.

Abstract
Organic dyes as non-noble metal photosensitizers have attracted increasing attention due to their environmental friendliness and sustainability but suffer from fast deactivation and low stability. Here, we reported a fruitful strategy by the confinement and stabilization of visible light-active signal unit organic dyes within the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and developed a series of heterogeneous photocatalysts dye@UiO-66s [dye = fluorescein (FL)/rhodamine B (RhB)/eosin Y (EY), UiO-66s = UiO-66, and Bim-UiO-66]. It has been demonstrated that the encapsulated dyes can effectively sensitize MOF hosts and dominate the band structures and photocatalytic activities of dye@UiO-66s regardless of the ligand functionalization of MOFs. Photocatalytic experiments showed that these dye@UiO-66s exhibit enhanced activities relative to free dyes and among them, FL@Bim-UiO-66 displays excellent efficiencies toward the green synthesis of new carbon-bridged annulations, [1,2,5]thiadiazole[3,4-g]benzoimidazoles in the yield of up to 98% at room temperature with outstanding stability and reusability. Furthermore, the intramolecular cyclization intermediate was captured and characterized by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Abstract
The development of stable sorbent materials to deliver reversible adsorption of ammonia (NH3) is a challenging task. Here, we report the efficient capture and storage of NH3 in a series of robust microporous aluminium-based metal-organic framework materials, namely MIL-160, CAU-10-H, Al-fum, and MIL-53(Al). In particular, MIL-160 shows high uptakes of NH3 of 4.8 and 12.8 mmol g-1 at both low and high pressure (0.001 and 1.0 bar, respectively) at 298 K. The combination of in situ neutron powder diffraction, synchrotron infrared micro-spectroscopy and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals the preferred adsorption domains of NH3 molecules in MIL-160, with H/D site-exchange between the host and guest and an unusual distortion of the local structure of [AlO6] moieties being observed. Dynamic breakthrough experiments confirm the excellent ability of MIL-160 to capture of NH3 with a dynamic uptake of 4.2 mmol g-1 at 1000 ppm. The combination of high porosity, pore aperture size and multiple binding sites promotes the significant binding affinity and capacity for NH3, which makes it a promising candidate for practical applications.

Abstract
The efficient production of ammonia (NH3) from dinitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) using renewable energy is an important step on the roadmap to the ammonia economy. The productivity of this conversion hinges on the design and development of new active catalysts. In the wide scope of materials that have been examined as catalysts for the photo- and electro-driven reduction of N2 to NH3, functional metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts exhibit unique properties and appealing features. By elucidating their structural and spectroscopic properties and linking this to the observed activity of MOF-based catalysts, valuable information can be gathered to inspire new generations of advanced catalysts to produce green NH3. NH3 is also a surrogate for the hydrogen (H2) economy, and the potential application of MOFs for the practical and effective capture, safe storage, and transport of NH3 is also discussed. This Perspective analyzes the contribution that MOFs can make toward the ammonia economy.
