Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) hold great promise in carbon capture, owing to their structural designability and functional porosity. However, intrinsic linker dynamics limit their pressure-swing adsorption application to biogas upgrading and methane purification. Recently, a functionality-locking strategy has shown feasibility in suppressing such dynamics. Still, a trade-off between structural rigidity and uptake capacity remains a key challenge for optimizing their high-pressure CO2/CH4 separation performance. Here, we report a sequential structural locking (SSL) strategy for enhancing the CO2 capture capacity and CH4 purification productivity in dynamic ZIFs (dynaZIFs). Specifically, we isolated multiple functionality-locked phases, ZIF-78-lt, -ht1, and -ht2, by activation at 50, 160, and 210 °C, respectively. We observed multiple-level locking through gas adsorption and powder X-ray diffraction. We uncovered an SSL mechanism dominated by linker-linker π-π interactions that transit to C-H···O hydrogen bonds with binding energies increasing from -0.64 to -2.77 and -5.72 kcal mol-1, respectively, as evidenced by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory calculations. Among them, ZIF-78-ht1 exhibits the highest CO2 capture capacity (up to 18.6 mmol g-1) and CH4 purification productivity (up to 7.6 mmol g-1) at 298 K and 30 bar. These findings provide molecular and energetic insights into leveraging framework flexibility through the SSL mechanism to optimize porous materials' separation performance.

Abstract
Despite the intense activity at electronic and atomistic resolutions, coarse grained (CG) modeling of metal-organic frameworks remains largely unexplored. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of adequate CG force fields. In this work, we present iterative Boltzmann inversion and force matching (FM) force fields for modeling ZIF-8 at three different coarse grained resolutions. Their ability to reproduce structure, elastic tensor, and thermal expansion is evaluated and compared with that of MARTINI force fields considered in previous work [Alvares et al., J. Chem. Phys. 158, 194107 (2023)]. Moreover, MARTINI and FM are evaluated for their ability to depict the swing effect, a subtle phase transition ZIF-8 undergoes when loaded with guest molecules. Overall, we found that all our force fields reproduce structure reasonably well. Elastic constants and volume expansion results are analyzed, and the technical and conceptual challenges of reproducing them are explained. Force matching exhibits promising results for capturing the swing effect. This is the first time these CG methods, widely applied in polymer and biomolecule communities, are deployed to model porous solids. We highlight the challenges of fitting CG force fields for these materials.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) are typical metal-organic framework (MOF) materials and have been intensively studied for their potential application in drug delivery and environmental remediation. However, knowledge of their potential risks to health and the environment is still limited. Therefore, this study exposed female and male zebrafish to ZIF-8 NPs (0, 9.0, and 90 mg L-1) for four days. Subsequently, variations in their behavioral traits and brain oxidative stress levels were investigated. The behavioral assay showed that ZIF-8 NPs at 90 mg/L could significantly decrease the locomotor activity (i.e., hypoactivity) of both genders. After a ball falling stimulation, zebrafish exposed to ZIF-8 NPs (9.0 and 90 mg L-1) exhibited more freezing states (i.e., temporary cessations of movement), and males were more sensitive than females. Regardless of gender, ZIF-8 NPs exposure significantly reduced the SOD, CAT, and GST activities in the brain of zebrafish. Correlation analysis revealed that the brain oxidative stress induced by ZIF-8 NPs exposure might play an important role in their behavioral toxicity to zebrafish. These findings highlight the necessity for further assessment of the potential risks of MOF nanoparticles to aquatic species and the environment.

Abstract
Here we report the synthesis of a zeolitic imidazolate framework with RHO topology (RHO-Zn(eim)2; eim is the deprotonated anion of 2-ethylimidazole (Heim)) in the aqueous phase. Zn(eim)2 crystals were prepared by the reaction between Heim and zinc acetate in deionized water. The products prepared at relatively high Heim/Zn molar ratios were Zn(eim)2 whose structure assigned to RHO, qtz and ANA topologies. Zn(eim)2 obtained under static condition had porous RHO structure, while under stirred condition, nonporous dense qtz and ANA structures were formed. This study revealed that the formation of RHO porous structure requires the template effect of excess Heim. The RHO-Zn(eim)2 crystals possessed high surface area and micropore volume, whose morphology consisted of a rhombic dodecahedron. RHO-Zn(eim)2 exhibited high adsorption capacity (4 mmol/g) for hexane and cyclohexane. Due to the hydrophobic nature of RHO-Zn(eim)2, water vapor was hardly adsorbed. Although RHO-Zn(eim)2 was stable in the presence of water vapor, it became nonporous upon hydrolysis in aqueous solution. In contrast, partial carbonization of topmost surface improved the structural stability against hydrolysis by water, while maintaining the adsorption capacity and increasing the adsorption rate.

Abstract
We performed theoretical studies of CO2 capture in atmospheric conditions by the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) via classical Monte Carlo (MC) simulations with Metropolis sampling and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in the NVT and NPT ensembles and different thermodynamic conditions. The ZIF-8 framework was described by varying unit cell dimensions in the presence of pure gases of CO2, N2, O2, Ar, and H2O steam as well as binary mixtures of CO2:N2 and CO2:H2O in s 1:1 concentration. Different chemical compositions of the framework surface was considered to provide an accurate treatment of charge and charge distribution in the nanoparticle. Hence, surface groups were represented as unsaturated zinc atom (Zn+2), 2-methylimidazole (mImH), and deprotonated 2-methylimidazole (mIm-). Force field reparameterization of the surface sites was required to reproduce the interactions of the gas molecules with the ZIF-8 surface consistent with quantum mechanics (QM) calculations and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD). It was observed that ZIF-8 selectively captures CO2 due to the negligible concentrations of N2, O2, Ar, and H2O. These molecules spontaneously migrate to the inner pores of the framework. At the surface, there is a competitive interaction between H2O, CO2, and N2, for the positively charged ZIF-8 nanoparticle with a large binding energy advantage for water molecules (on average -62, -15, and -8 kcal/mol respectively). For the neutral ZIF-8 nanoparticle, the water molecules dominate the interactions due to the occurrence of hydrogen bond with the imidazolate groups at the surface. Simulations of binary mixtures of CO2/water steam and CO2/N2 were performed to investigate binding competition between these molecules for the framework positively charged and neutral surfaces. It was found that water molecules drastically block the interaction between CO2 molecules and the framework surface, decreasing CO2 capture in the central pore, and CO2 molecules fully block the interaction between N2 molecules and the framework. These findings show that CO2 capture by ZIF-8 is possible in atmospheric environments only upon dehydration of the atmospheric gas. It further shows that ZIF-8 capture of CO2 from the atmospheric environment is dependent on thermodynamic conditions and can be increased by decreasing temperature and/or increasing pressure.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have long been recognized as a prominent subset of the metal-organic framework (MOF) family, in part because of their ease of synthesis and good thermal and chemical stability, alongside attractive properties for diverse potential applications. Prototypical ZIFs like ZIF-8 have become embodiments of the significant promise held by porous coordination polymers as next-generation designer materials. At the same time, their intriguing property of experiencing significant structural changes upon the application of external stimuli such as temperature, mechanical pressure, guest adsorption, or electromagnetic fields, among others, has placed this family of MOFs squarely under the umbrella of stimuli-responsive materials. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the triggered structural and electronic responses observed in ZIFs (linker and bond dynamics, crystalline and amorphous phase changes, luminescence, etc.). We then describe the state-of-the-art experimental and computational methodology capable of shedding light on these complex phenomena, followed by a comprehensive summary of the stimuli-responsive nature of four prototypical ZIFs: ZIF-8, ZIF-7, ZIF-4, and ZIF-zni. We further expose the relevant challenges for the characterization and fundamental understanding of responsive ZIFs, including how to take advantage of their flexible properties for new application avenues.

Abstract
Gas hydrates (clathrate hydrates, clathrates, or hydrates) are crystalline inclusion compounds composed of water and gas molecules. Methane hydrates, the most well-known gas hydrates, are considered a menace in flow assurance. However, they have also been hailed as an alternative energy resource because of their high methane storage capacity. Since the formation of gas hydrates generally requires extreme conditions, developing porous material hosts to synthesize gas hydrates with less-demanding constraints is a topic of great interest to the materials and energy science communities. Though reports of modeling and experimental analysis of bulk gas hydrates are plentiful in the literature, reliable phase data for gas hydrates within confined spaces of nanoporous media have been sporadic. This review examines recent studies of both experiments and theoretical modeling of gas hydrates within four categories of nanoporous material hosts that include porous carbons, metal-organic frameworks, graphene nanoslits, and carbon nanotubes. We identify challenges associated with these porous systems and discuss the prospects of gas hydrates in confined space for potential applications.

Abstract
Understanding mechanisms of decontamination of chemical warfare agents (CWA) is an area of intense research aimed at developing new filtration materials to protect soldiers and civilians in case of state-sponsored or terrorist attack. In this study, we employed complementary structural, chemical, and dynamic probes and in situ data collection, to elucidate the complex chemistry, capture, and decomposition of the CWA simulant, dimethyl chlorophosphonate (DMCP). Our work reveals key details of the reactive adsorption of DMCP and demonstrates the versatility of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) as a plausible material for CWA capture and decomposition. The in situ synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and pair distribution function (PDF) studies, combined with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), zinc K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and Raman spectroscopies, showed that the unique structure, chemical state, and topology of ZIF-8 enable accessibility, adsorption, and hydrolysis of DMCP into the pores and revealed the importance of linker chemistry and Zn2+ sites for nerve agent decomposition. DMCP decontamination and decomposition product(s) formation were observed by thermogravimetric analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, and phosphorus (P) K-edge XANES studies. Differential PDF analysis indicated that the average structure of ZIF-8 (at the 30 Å scale) remains unchanged after DMCP dosing and provided information on the dynamics of interactions of DMCP with the ZIF-8 framework. Using in situ PXRD and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), we showed that nearly 90% regeneration of the ZIF-8 structure and complete liberation of DMCP and decomposition products occur upon heating.

Abstract
In this work, we analyze the influence of small adsorbates on the vibrational spectra of Mg- and Zn-metal-organic framework MOF-74 by means of first-principles calculations. In particular, we consider the adsorption of four representative species of different interaction strengths: Ar, CO2, H2O, and NH3. Apart from a comprehensive characterization of the structural and energetic aspects of empty and loaded MOFs, we use a fully quantum ab initio approach to evaluate the Raman and IR activities of the normal modes, leading to the construction of the whole vibrational spectra. Under this approach, not only are we able to proceed with the complete assignment of the spectra in terms of the usual internal coordinates but also we can discern the most relevant vibrational fingerprints of the adsorbates and their impact on the whole MOF spectra. On the one hand, some of the typical vibrational modes of the small molecules are slightly shifted but still visible when adsorbed on the MOFs, especially those appearing at high wavenumbers where the empty MOFs lack IR/Raman signals. On the other hand, some bands arising from the organic ligands are affected by the presence of the absorbates, displaying non-negligible frequency shifts, in agreement with recent experiments. We find a strong correlation between all of these frequency shifts and the interaction strength of the adsorbate with the hosting framework. The findings presented in this work expand the capabilities of vibrational spectroscopy techniques to analyze porous materials and can be useful for the design of sensors and new devices based on MOF technology.

Abstract
In this study adsorption microcalorimetry is employed to monitor the adsorption of four probes (argon, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide) on a highly flexible mesoporous metal-organic framework (DUT-49, DUT = Dresden University of Technology), precisely measuring the differential enthalpy of adsorption alongside high-resolution isotherms. This experimental approach combined with force field Monte Carlo simulations reveals distinct pore filling adsorption behaviors for the selected probes, with argon and oxygen showing abrupt adsorption in the open pore form of DUT-49, in contrast with the gradual filling for nitrogen and carbon monoxide. A complex structural transition behavior of DUT-49 observed upon nitrogen adsorption is elucidated through an isotherm deconvolution in order to quantify the fractions of the open pore, contracted pore, and intermediate pore forms that coexist at a given gas pressure. Finally, the heat flow measured during the guest-induced structural contraction of DUT-49 allowed an exploration of complex open-contracted pore transition energetics, leading to a first assessment of the energy required to induce this spectacular structural change.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks are a class of porous compounds with potential applications in molecular sieving, gas sequestration, and catalysis. One family of MOFs, zeolitic imidizolate frameworks (ZIFs), is of particular interest for carbon dioxide sequestration. We have previously reported the heat capacity of the sodalite topology of the zinc 2-methylimidazolate framework (ZIF-8), and in this Article we present the first low-temperature heat capacity measurements of ZIF-8 with various amounts of sorbed CO2. Molar heat capacities from 1.8 to 300 K are presented for samples containing up to 0.99 mol of CO2 per mol of ZIF-8. Samples with at least 0.56 mol of CO2 per mol of ZIF-8 display a large, broad anomaly from 70 to 220 K with a shoulder on the low-temperature side, suggesting sorption-induced structural transitions. We attribute the broad anomaly partially to a gate-opening transition, with the remainder resulting from CO2 rearrangement and/or lattice expansion. The measurements also reveal a subtle anomaly from 0 to 70 K in all samples that does not exist in the sorbate-free material, which likely reflects new vibrational modes resulting from sorbate/ZIF-8 interactions. These results provide the first thermodynamic evidence of structural transitions induced by CO2 sorption in the ZIF-8 framework.

Abstract
Photoresponsive functional materials have gained increasing attention due to their externally tunable properties. Molecular switches embedded in these materials enable the control of phenomena at the atomic level by light. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a versatile platform to immobilize these photoresponsive units within defined molecular environments to optimize the intended functionality. For the application of these photoresponsive MOFs (pho-MOFs), it is crucial to understand the influence of the switching state on the host-guest interaction. Therefore, we present a detailed insight into the impact of molecular switching on the intermolecular interactions. By performing atomistic simulations, we revealed that due to different interactions of the guest molecules with the two isomeric states of an azobenzene-functionalized MOF, both the adsorption sites and the orientation of the molecules within the pores are modulated. By shedding light on the host-guest interaction, our study highlights the unique potential of pho-MOFs to tailor molecular interaction by light.

Abstract
The identification of suitable density functional methods for predicting the properties of nanoporous composite materials is highly significant in the field of chemical and material sciences. The stability of the composite materials depends on the nature of bonding and dispersive interaction at the interface. Thus, we have studied the effect of dispersion correction in the incorporation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic ionic liquids (ILs) into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanostructures using the density functional theory (DFT)-based approaches. These structures were analyzed employing selected methods (Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof) with dispersion correction (D2 or D3) and different basis sets (such as double-zeta valence polarized (DZVP), triple-zeta valence polarized (TZVP), and triple-zeta valence doubly polarized (TZV2P)) for the understanding of microscopic features of IL@ZIF-8 nanopores. It is found that the result obtained from DFT-D2/TZVP is more reliable for the prediction of the experimental crystal structure as well as stability and spectral information of the complexes. Furthermore, the microscopic analysis of geometries reveals that ILs are highly dispersed and stabilized at the nanopores of ZIF-8, particularly the ZIF-8 structure is highly preferable for the hydrophobic group in ILs. It is found that fluorine-containing anions are highly dispersed on the ZIF-8 surface compared to the nonfluorinated anion (i.e., [BMIM]+[Cl]-). This is confirmed from the adsorption energies (E ads), charge transfer, electron density analyses, and IR spectral analysis. These findings can provide more insights into the stability of composite materials, which are suitable for applications of catalytic conversion at the confined state, gas storage, and separation techniques.

Abstract
ZIF-8 is a flexible zeolitic imidazole-based metal-organic framework and has been extensively studied because of its high structural stability. However, ZIF-8 is hydrolyzed in water at higher temperature, resulting in degradation of its crystalline and porous structure. In order to prevent ZIF-8 from structural collapse due to the hydrolysis reaction of the metal-ligand bond and/or ligand substitution reaction, it is effective to shield the metal-ligand bond from the attack of water molecules. This work reports on the thermal and hydrothermal stability of mechanochemically synthesized ZIF-8 and presents an incredibly simple step to modify the outermost surface of ZIF-8, improving the hydrothermal stability. The partial carbonization resulting in the formation of a carbon-rich outermost layer endowed ZIF-8 with not only high hydrothermal stability but also a high adsorption rate on liquid phase adsorption.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the promising nanomaterials for separation of molecules with close dimensions and structures, such as various types of isomers. The efficiency of separation can be greatly enhanced if the apertures of the nanosized windows, controlling the diffusion of a particular molecule inside the cavities, are fine-tuned by external stimuli. We report the new approach for precise measurement of window sizes in ZIF-8 MOF and employ it in efficient separation of xylenes, which is of high practical importance. For this sake, we synthesized ZIF-8 with embedded stable nitroxides in the pores and applied electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy for in situ kinetic measurement of the diffusion of various guest molecules through the material. Slight variation of temperature within 298-333 K allowed tuning of the windows and reaching optimum conditions for separation of p-, m-, and o-xylenes with the efficiency up to 92-95%. The developed methodology provides deeper understanding of steric and kinetic aspects of molecular diffusion in ZIF-8 and paves the way to rational optimization of other MOF-based separation applications.

Abstract
We present the results of an experimental study of methane sorption in ZIF-8. We measured isotherms at five different temperatures between 87 K and 107 K. We have observed three sub-steps in each of the isotherms. The intermediate sub-step had not been observed experimentally in previous studies of this system. This newly determined experimental feature suggests that a transition is taking place in the sorbed system (this newly observed sub-step occurs over a loading interval where published computer simulation results for CH4 in ZIF-8 had identified a structural transition occurring in the sorbent). We have studied the kinetics of adsorption for this system (we measure the time required for the system to reach equilibrium after gas is added to the experimental cell as a function of sorbent loading). We observed a sharp peak in the equilibration time at high loadings, below saturation. We have explored the isosteric heat of adsorption, and its dependence on sorbent loading, for this system. We found a broad peak in the isosteric heat at loadings corresponding to the intermediate isotherm sub-step. Previously reported computer simulations for the isosteric heat dependence on loading for CH4 in ZIF-8 are in good agreement with our experimental results for this quantity.

Abstract
While in most adsorptive separations different mixture components tend to compete for different adsorption sites, we report the existence of cooperative effects in the adsorption of alcohols (ethanol and 1-butanol) from the vapor phase on ZIF-8. The presence of these molecules in binary mixtures leads to an increase in their equilibrium capacities, compared to the pure component isotherms. These effects were first observed when predicting the mixture equilibrium capacities using the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) and were also observed via grand canonical Monte Carlo (GC MC) simulations. GC MC simulations showed that the interaction between adsorbate molecules leads to the cooperative effect predicted by IAST. The predicted cooperative adsorption could be confirmed via breakthrough experiments. In these experiments, a "roll-up" of 1-butanol was observed during the regeneration of a ZIF-8 packed column. A dynamic breakthrough model employing IAST was developed and used to explain the effect of the adsorption equilibrium on the dynamic breakthrough profiles.

Abstract
Among the numerous fascinating properties of metal⁻organic frameworks (MOFs), their rotational dynamics is perhaps one of the most intriguing, with clear consequences for adsorption and separation of molecules, as well as for optical and mechanical properties. A closer look at the rotational mobility in MOF linkers reveals that it is not only a considerably widespread phenomenon, but also a fairly diverse one. Still, the impact of these dynamics is often understated. In this review, we address the various mechanisms of linker rotation reported in the growing collection of literature, followed by a highlight of the methods currently used in their study, and we conclude with the impacts that such dynamics have on existing and future applications.

Abstract
We study the structural and thermomechanical effects of cation substitution in the compositional family of metal-organic frameworks Zn1-xCdx(mIm)2 (HmIm = 2-methylimidazole). We find complete miscibility for all compositions x, with evidence of inhomogeneous distributions of Cd and Zn that in turn affect framework aperture characteristics. Using variable-temperature X-ray powder diffraction measurements, we show that Cd substitution drives a threefold reduction in the magnitude of thermal expansion behaviour. We interpret this effect in terms of an increased density of negative thermal expansion modes in the more flexible Cd-rich frameworks.

Abstract
ZIF-8 metal organic framework "micrometer-thick" films were constructed from ZnO precursor by a vapor-phase synthesis. The ZnO-to-ZIF-8 crystal transformation proceeded in the presence of 2-methylimidazole (Hmim) vapor. Continuous coatings of intergrown ZIF-8 crystals require control of a nucleation density. The dependence of ZnO crystal plane on the ZnO-to-ZIF-8 crystal transformation was investigated using four bulk ZnO single crystals: a-plane (11-20), c-plane (0001), m-plane (10-10), and r-plane (10-11). It was revealed that the m-plane (10-10) of ZnO is more effectively transformed into ZIF-8. In this work, highly oriented ZnO nanorod array film was used to provide the transport pathway of Hmim molecules and volume expansion space of ZnO-to-ZIF-8 crystal transformation for nucleation and crystal intergrowth. The high conversion of ZnO nanorod array into ZIF-8 in a short time could be achieved because (1) such mass transfer is easy due to the uniform internanorod distance being maintained during reaction and (2) the surface of the nanorod array is dominated by the highly reactive m-plane (10-10).

Understanding the adsorption process in ZIF-8 using high pressure crystallography and computational modelling. Nat Commun 2018; 9:1429.

Abstract
Some porous crystalline solids change their structure upon guest inclusion. Unlocking the potential of these solids for a wide variety of applications requires full characterisation of the response to adsorption and the underlying framework–guest interactions. Here, we introduce an approach to understanding gas uptake in porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by loading liquefied gases at GPa pressures inside the Zn-based framework ZIF-8. An integrated experimental and computational study using high-pressure crystallography, grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and periodic DFT simulations has revealed six symmetry-independent adsorption sites within the framework and a transition to a high-pressure phase. The cryogenic high-pressure loading method offers a different approach to obtaining atomistic detail on guest molecules. The GCMC simulations provide information on interaction energies of the adsorption sites allowing to classify the sites by energy. DFT calculations reveal the energy barrier of the transition to the high-pressure phase. This combination of techniques provides a holistic approach to understanding both structural and energetic changes upon adsorption in MOFs. Understanding host–guest interactions and structural changes within porous materials is crucial for enhancing gas storage properties. Here, the authors combine cryogenic loading of gases with high pressure crystallography and computational techniques to obtain atomistic detail of adsorption-induced structural and energetic changes in ZIF-8.

Abstract
Up to now, the fabrication of well-intergrown Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) membranes on porous tubular supports is still a major challenge. We report here a heteroepitaxial growth for preparing well-intergrown Co-based ZIFs (ZIF-67 and ZIF-9) tubular membranes with high performance and excellent thermal stability by employing a thin layer of ZnO nanorods acting as both nucleation centers and anchor sites for the growth of metal-organic framework membranes. The results show that well-intergrown Co-ZIF-67 and Co-ZIF-9 membranes are successfully achieved on the ZnO nanorod-modified porous ceramic tubes. This highly active heteroepitaxial growth may be attributed to the fact that the (Zn,Co) hydroxy double salt intermediate produced in situ from ZnO nanorods acts as heteroseeds and enables the uniform growth of Co-based membranes. The H2/CO2 selectivity of the as-prepared Co-ZIF-9 tubular membrane could reach about 23.8 and the H2/CH4 selectivity of Co-ZIF-67 tubular membrane is as high as 45.4. Moreover, the membranes demonstrate excellent stability because of the ZnO nanorods as linkers between the membrane and substrate.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 shares the same topology with sodalite zeolite but consists of Zn nodes bridged by imidazolate linkers to form a neutral open-framework structure. ZIF-8 has been recognized as a unique molecular sieving material with a flexible framework enabling interesting "gate-opening" functionality. Controlling the crystal size and shape is crucial for regulating the structural flexibilities and mass transport properties. The present study demonstrates that an aqueous-system-enabled spray-drying process enables the shape engineering of ZIF-8 with a hollow polycrystalline structure. It is notable that our synthesis route produces an amorphous zinc complex compound, which possesses a continuous random network partially with crystalline fillers, after spray drying followed by an amorphous-to-crystal transition via activation treatment using polar organic solvents. The size of primary ZIF-8 crystals consisting of secondary polycrystals depends on the kind of the organic solvent. The macro-/microscopic structures of hollow polycrystalline ZIF-8 significantly structurally enhanced the adsorption capacity and uptake rate. The large-scale, rapid production and enhanced adsorption performances make this continuous method a very promising candidate for industrial applications and shaping of MOF.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 displays flexibility of its structure by rotation of its imidazolate linker. This "swing effect" has been widely described in the literature, both experimentally and theoretically, as a bistable system where the linker oscillates between two structures: "open window" and "closed window". By using quantum chemistry calculations and first-principles molecular dynamics simulations, it is shown that the deformation upon adsorption is in fact continuous upon pore loading, with thermodynamics of packing effects being the reason behind stepped adsorption isotherms experimentally observed. Finally, we study a variant of ZIF-8 with a different linker, highlighting the influence of the linker and the balance of microscopic interactions on the framework's flexibility.

Abstract
Double-layered zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) membranes were fabricated inside polyimide P84 hollow fibers by a step-synthesis conducted by microfluidic technology and applied to pre-combustion gas separation. Our hypothesis, based on the information provided by a combination of molecular simulation and experiments, is that a CO2 adsorption reduction on the surface of the ZIF-9 would enhance the molecular sieving effect of this ZIF-9 layer and therefore the selectivity in the H2/CO2 mixture separation of the entire membrane. This reduction would be achieved by means of a less-CO2-adsorptive methylimidazolate-based ZIF-67 or ZIF-8 layer coating the ZIF-9. ZIF-8/ZIF-9 and ZIF-67/ZIF-9 double-layered membranes were prepared and characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, FIB, TEM and EDS. This unprecedented strategy led to a H2/CO2 separation selectivity of 9.6 together with a 250 GPU H2 permeance at 150 °C, showing a significant improvement with respect to the pure ZIF-9 membrane. Double-layered membranes also showed higher apparent CO2 activation energies than single-layered membranes, attributable to a diminished adsorption.

Abstract
The presence of a highly tunable porous structure and surface chemistry makes metal-organic framework (MOF) materials excellent candidates for artificial methane hydrate formation under mild temperature and pressure conditions (2 °C and 3-5 MPa). Experimental results using MOFs with a different pore structure and chemical nature (MIL-100 (Fe) and ZIF-8) clearly show that the water-framework interactions play a crucial role in defining the extent and nature of the gas hydrates formed. Whereas the hydrophobic MOF promotes methane hydrate formation with a high yield, the hydrophilic one does not. The formation of these methane hydrates on MOFs has been identified for the first time using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRPD). The results described in this work pave the way towards the design of new MOF structures able to promote artificial methane hydrate formation upon request (confined or non-confined) and under milder conditions than in nature.
