Abstract
In this study, we fabricated magnetic Fe3O4@Mg(OH)2 composites through the seed deposition technique to achieve Cu(ii) ion removal from aqueous solutions. As indicated by the characterization results, three-dimensional flower-like spheres composed of external Mg(OH)2 were formed, with nano-Fe3O4 particles uniformly embedded in the "flower petals" of the spheres. The efficacy of Fe3O4@Mg(OH)2-3 in Cu(ii) ion removal was examined through batch experiments. The impact of solution pH on removal efficiency was examined, and the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir model provided good fits to the adsorption kinetics and isotherm data, respectively. Remarkably, Fe3O4@Mg(OH)2-3 exhibited a significant removal capacity of 1051.65 mg g-1 for Cu(ii) ions. Additionally, the composite displayed a notable saturation magnetization value of 17.3 emu g-1, facilitating isolation from sample solutions through external magnetic fields after Cu(ii) ion absorption. At the solid-liquid interface, a mechanism involving ion exchange between Mg(ii) and Cu(ii) cations was realized as the mode of Cu(ii) ion removal. The composites' effective adsorption properties and rapid magnetic separation highlighted their suitability for use in treating copper-contaminated water.

Abstract
Coordination polymers (CPs) have emerged as promising candidates for photocatalytic H2 production owing to their structural tailorability and functional diversity. However, the development of CPs with high energy transfer efficiency for highly efficient photocatalytic H2 production in a wide pH range still faces many challenges. Here we constructed a novel tube-like Pd(ii) coordination polymer with well-distributed Pd nanoparticles (denoted as Pd/Pd(ii)CPs) based on the coordination assembly of rhodamine 6G and Pd(ii) ions and further photo-reduction under visible light irradiation. Both the Br- ion and double solvent play a key role in forming the hollow superstructures. The resulting tube-like Pd/Pd(ii)CPs exhibit high stability in aqueous solution with the pH range from 3 to 14 due to the high Gibbs free energies of protonation and deprotonation, which provides the feasibility of photocatalytic hydrogen generation in a wide pH range. Electromagnetic field calculations showed that the tube-like Pd/Pd(ii)CPs have a good confinement effect on light. Therefore, the H2 evolution rate could reach 112.3 mmol h-1 g-1 at pH 13 under visible light irradiation, which is far superior to those of reported coordination polymer-based photocatalysts. Moreover, such Pd/Pd(ii)CPs could also reach a H2 production rate of 37.8 mmol h-1 g-1 in seawater under visible light with low optical density (40 mW cm-2) close to morning or cloudy sunlight. The above unique characteristics make the Pd/Pd(ii)CPs possess great potential for practical applications.

Abstract
Formation of highly interpenetrated frameworks is demonstrated. An interesting observation is the presence of very large adamantane-shaped cages in a single network, making these crystals new entries in the collection of diamondoid-type metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The frameworks were constructed by assembling tetrahedral pyridine ligands and copper dichloride. Currently, the networks' degree of interpenetration is among the highest reported and increases when the size of the ligand is increased. Highly interpenetrated frameworks typically have low surface contact areas. In contrast, in our systems, the voids take up to 63 % of the unit cell volume. The MOFs have chiral features but are formed from achiral components. The chirality is manifested by the coordination chemistry around the metal center, the structure of the helicoidal channels, and the motifs of the individual networks. Channels of both handednesses are present within the unit cells. This phenomenon shapes the walls of the channels, which are composed of 10, 16, or 32 chains correlated with the degree of interpenetration 10-, 16-, and 32-fold, respectively. By changing the distance between the center of the ligand and the coordination moieties, we succeeded in tuning the diameter of the channels. Relatively large channels were formed, having diameters up to 31.0 Å×14.8 Å.

Abstract
We show that metal–organic frameworks, based on tetrahedral pyridyl ligands, can be used as a morphological and structural template to form a series of isostructural crystals having different metal ions and properties. An iterative crystal‐to‐crystal conversion has been demonstrated by consecutive cation exchanges. The primary manganese‐based crystals are characterized by an uncommon space group (P622). The packing includes chiral channels that can mediate the cation exchange, as indicated by energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy on microtome‐sectioned crystals. The observed cation exchange is in excellent agreement with the Irving–Williams series (Mn<Fe<Co<Ni< Cu>Zn) associated with the relative stability of the resulting coordination nodes. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the metal cation controls the optical and magnetic properties. The crystals maintain their morphology, allowing a quantitative comparison of their properties at both the ensemble and single‐crystal level.

Abstract
The coexistence of single-crystallinity with a multidomain morphology is a paradoxical phenomenon occurring in biomineralization. Translating such feature to synthetic materials is a highly challenging process in crystal engineering. We demonstrate the formation of metallo-organic single-crystals with a unique appearance: six-connected half-rods forming a hexagonal-like tube. These uniform objects are formed from unstable, monodomain crystals. The monodomain crystals dissolve from the inner regions, while material is anisotropically added to their shell, resulting in hollow, single-crystals. Regardless of the different morphologies and growth mechanism, the crystallographic structures of the mono- and multidomain crystals are nearly identical. The chiral crystals are formed from achiral components, and belong to a rare space group (P622). Sonication of the solvents generating radical species is essential for forming the multidomain single-crystals. This process reduces the concentration of the active metal salt. Our approach offers opportunities to generate a new class of crystals.

Abstract
Bile acids (BAs) are facial amphiphiles synthesized in the body of all vertebrates. They undergo the enterohepatic circulation: they are produced in the liver, stored in the gallbladder, released in the intestine, taken into the bloodstream and lastly re-absorbed in the liver. During this pathway, BAs are modified in their molecular structure by the action of enzymes and bacteria. Such transformations allow them to acquire the chemical-physical properties needed for fulling several activities including metabolic regulation, antimicrobial functions and solubilization of lipids in digestion. The versatility of BAs in the physiological functions has inspired their use in many bio-applications, making them important tools for active molecule delivery, metabolic disease treatments and emulsification processes in food and drug industries. Moreover, moving over the borders of the biological field, BAs have been largely investigated as building blocks for the construction of supramolecular aggregates having peculiar structural, mechanical, chemical and optical properties. The review starts with a biological analysis of the BAs functions before progressively switching to a general overview of BAs in pharmacology and medicine applications. Lastly the focus moves to the BAs use in material science.

Abstract
![]()
We
demonstrate the formation of uniform and oriented metal–organic
frameworks using a combination of anion effects and surface chemistry.
Subtle but significant morphological changes result from the nature
of the coordinative counteranion of the following metal salts: NiX2 with X = Br–, Cl–, NO3–, and OAc–. Crystals
could be obtained in solution or by template surface growth. The latter
results in truncated crystals that resemble a half structure of the
solution-grown ones. The oriented surface-bound metal–organic
frameworks (sMOFs) are obtained via a one-step solvothermal approach
rather than in a layer-by-layer approach. The MOFs are grown on Si/SiOx
substrates modified with an organic monolayer or on glass substrates
covered with a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). Regardless of the
different morphologies, the crystallographic packing is nearly identical
and is not affected by the type of anion or by solution versus the
surface chemistry. A propeller-type arrangement of the nonchiral ligands
around the metal center affords a chiral structure with two geometrically
different helical channels in a 2:1 ratio with the same handedness.
To demonstrate the accessibility and porosity of the macroscopically
oriented channels, a chromophore (resorufin sodium salt) was successfully
embedded into the channels of the crystals by diffusion from solution,
resulting in fluorescent crystals. These “colored” crystals displayed polarized emission (red) with a high
polarization ratio because of the alignment of these dyes imposed
by the crystallographic structure. A second-harmonic generation (SHG)
study revealed Kleinman symmetry-forbidden nonlinear optical properties.
These surface-bound and oriented SHG-active MOFs have the potential
for use as single nonlinear optical (NLO) devices.

Abstract
Inspired by assemblies in the natural world, researchers have prepared diverse suprastructures with distinct spatial arrangements by artificial self-assembly, including micelles, vesicles, ribbons, films, fibers, and tubes. The field of assembly is undergoing a transition from single-component to multicomponent assembly and single-step to multistep processing. Control over the size, shape, and composition of these building blocks has enabled the formation of suprastructures with substantial structural diversity. More importantly, harnessing noncovalent interactions to create suprastructures in a controlled manner will lead to a better understanding of the formation of complex self-organized patterns. However, for the construction of multiscale self-assemblies with controllable shapes and functions, the selection of a suitable protocol remains challenging. Coordination-driven self-assembly provides a bottom-up approach to construct various metal-organic complexes (MOCs), which could be further used as building blocks with controllable shapes and sizes. Despite the tremendous progress made in the design of MOC-based supramolecular materials, most of these MOCs have dimensions of only several nanometers, and investigations of these structures rely on the characterization of their crystal structure. However, most of the functional suprastructures in living organisms have dimensions ranging from microns to centimeters and have the form of soft materials. Thus, obtaining MOC-based highly ordered materials of larger size remains a challenge. This Account focuses on our recent advances in the construction of soft suprastructure materials with MOCs. A series of functionalized MOCs was first constructed through coordination-driven self-assembly. Then, further self-assembly of the as-prepared MOCs gave rise to the formation of higher-order structures. By changing the functional groups in the acceptors and donors in the MOCs, different suprastructures, including nanospheres, nanodiamonds, nanorods, nanofibers, membranes, films, and gels, were prepared. These studies suggest that using MOCs as building blocks is a highly efficient strategy to achieve complex architectures and functional materials for the development of desired MOC-based soft materials with high precision and fidelity.

Abstract
This work provides a platform for the rapid generation of superstructure assemblies with a wide range of lengths that can be used to access a variety of metal-organic complex-based soft superstructures. Metallacage-based microneedles that are nanometers in diameter and millimeters in length were generated in dichloromethane and ethyl acetate; their size could be controlled by adjusting the ratio of the two solvents. Interestingly, microflower structures could be formed by further assembly of the microneedles during solvent evaporation. Our study establishes a feasible method designed to broaden the range of suprastructures with emissions from blue and green to red through the co-assembly of lysine-modified perylene. Similar to the co-assembly of lysine-modified perylene with microflowers, chlorophyll-a and vitamin B12 were introduced into the microflowers during the assembly process, which may be exploited in studies of energy capture and nerve repair in the future.
