Abstract
ConspectusCoordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent versatile materials with diverse structural and functional properties, making them appealing for various applications. However, their conventional forms, which are typically synthesized as powders or crystals, pose challenges due to limited processability and mechanical fragility. Recently, CP/MOF glasses have emerged as promising alternatives, offering enhanced processability while retaining some of the unique characteristics shown in the mother crystalline materials. Despite the prevalence of carboxylate ligands in CP/MOF synthesis, the development of carboxylate-based CP/MOF glasses has been limited compared to that of zeolitic-imidazole framework (ZIF)-based glasses. This is attributed to the strong metal-ligand bonds and low thermal stability of carboxylic acids, which hinder their melting in CP/MOF structures. Nonetheless, recent advancements have led to a surge in methods for synthesizing carboxylate-based CP/MOF glasses. So far, desolvation and melt-quenching have been introduced for achieving glass structures from CP/MOF precursors.The first melt-quenched MOF glass was reported in 2015 with ZIFs. However, we informally observed the melting of the MOF during thermal decomposition research of aliphatic carboxylate-based MOFs as a sacrificial template dating back to 2013. In that study, aliphatic ligands, instead of aromatic carboxylate, were employed due to their high lability, lower thermal stability, and high degree of freedom, which facilitated pyrolysis. The results were published with a focus on synthesizing hierarchically porous MgO via the pyrolysis of an aliphatic ligand-based Mg-MOF in an inert environment. A decade later, it was revisited and studied as the first melt-quenched carboxylate-based MOF glass, converted from a crystalline MOF through the liquid phase before decomposition during the heating process.This Account aims to introduce six studies, including the aforementioned example, on the synthesis of CP/MOF glasses from carboxylate-based CPs/MOFs that have been published so far. To overcome the challenges with aromatic carboxylates in CP/MOF glass formation, the metal coordination sphere should be altered and the degree of freedom in the ligands should be increased. Based on these approaches, the strategies for vitrification of carboxylate-based CPs/MOFs can be divided into two categories: desolvation and melt-quenching. Desolvation can be preceded by vapor perturbation such as hydration. Carboxylate-based CP/MOF glasses possess the potential to expand into a broader range of applications beyond those of existing CP/MOF glasses. Alongside the diversity offered by carboxylic acid ligands, these materials mirror the extensive range of applications previously explored in the existing carboxylate-based CP/MOF crystals. Moreover, their high processability, inherent to glass materials, enables their applications in various industrial fields. This versatility may extend to previously unexplored areas of utilization such as a novel class of bioactive glass.

Abstract
Hydrolytic enzymes are essential components in second-generation biofuel technology and food fermentation processes. Nanozymes show promise for large-scale industrial applications as replacements for natural enzymes due to their distinct advantages. However, there remains a research gap concerning glycosidase nanozymes. In this study, a Zn-based single-atom nanozyme (ZnN4-900) is developed for efficient glycosidic bond hydrolysis in an aqueous solution. The planar structure of the class-porphyrin N4 material approximatively mimicked the catalytic centers of natural enzymes, facilitating oxidase-like (OXD-like) activity and promoting glycosidic bond cleavage. Theoretical calculations show that the Zn site can act as Lewis acids, attacking the C─O bond in glycosidic bonds. Additionally, ZnN4-900 has the ability to degrade starch and produce reducing sugars that increased yeast cell biomass by 32.86% and ethanol production by 14.56%. This catalyst held promising potential for enhancing processes in ethanol brewing and starch degradation industries.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) composite materials containing ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed for a range of potential applications, including gas separation, ion conduction, and hybrid glass formation. Here, an order transition in an IL@MOF composite is discovered using CuBTC (copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) and [EMIM][TFSI] (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide). This transition - absent for the bare MOF or IL - provides an extended super-cooling range and latent heat at a capacity similar to that of soft paraffins, in the temperature range of ≈220 °C. Structural analysis and in situ monitoring indicate an electrostatic interaction between the IL molecules and the Cu paddle-wheels, leading to a decrease in pore symmetry at low temperature. These interactions are reversibly released above the transition temperature, which reflects in a volume expansion of the MOF-IL composite.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid porous materials presenting several tuneable properties, allowing them to be utilised for a wide range of applications. To date, focus has been on the preparation of novel crystalline MOFs for specific applications. Recently, interest in amorphous MOFs (aMOFs), defined by their lack of correlated long-range order, is growing. This is due to their potential favourable properties compared to their crystalline equivalents, including increased defect concentration, improved processability and gas separation ability. Direct synthesis of these disordered materials presents an alternative method of preparation to post-synthetic amorphisation of a crystalline framework, potentially allowing for the preparation of aMOFs with varying compositions and structures, and very different properties to crystalline MOFs. This perspective summarises current literature on directly synthesised aMOFs, and proposes methods that could be utilised to modify existing syntheses for crystalline MOFs to form their amorphous counterparts. It outlines parameters that could discourage the ordering of crystalline MOFs, before examining the potential properties that could emerge. Methodologies of structural characterisation are discussed, in addition to the necessary analyses required to define a topologically amorphous structure.

Abstract
Hybrid glasses derived from meltable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) promise to combine the intriguing properties of MOFs with the universal processing ability of glasses. However, the shaping of hybrid glasses in their liquid state - in analogy to conventional glass processing - has been elusive thus far. Here, we present optical-quality glasses derived from the zeolitic imidazole framework ZIF-62 in the form of cm-scale objects. These allow for in-depth studies of optical transparency and refraction across the ultraviolet to near-infrared spectral range. Fundamental viscosity data are reported using a ball penetration technique, and subsequently employed to demonstrate the fabrication of micro-optical devices by thermal imprinting. Using 3D-printed fused silica templates, we show that concave as well as convex lens structures can be obtained at high precision by remelting the glass without trading-off on material quality. This enables multifunctional micro-optical devices combining the gas uptake and permeation ability of MOFs with the optical functionality of glass. As an example, we demonstrate the reversible change of optical refraction upon the incorporation of volatile guest molecules.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) is a promising material for gas separation applications. It also serves as a prototype for numerous ZIFs, including amorphous ones, with a broader range of possible applications, including sensors, catalysis, and lithography. It consists of zinc coordinated with 2-methylimidazolate (2mIm) and has been synthesized with methods ranging from liquid-phase to solvent-free synthesis, which aim to control its crystal size and shape, film thickness and microstructure, and incorporation into nanocomposites. Depending on the synthesis method and postsynthesis treatments, ZIF-8 materials may deviate from the nominal defect-free ZIF-8 crystal structure due to defects like missing 2mIm, missing zinc, and physically adsorbed 2mIm trapped in the ZIF-8 pores, which may alter its performance and stability. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has been used to assess the presence of defects in ZIF-8 and related materials. However, conflicting interpretations by various authors persist in the literature. Here, we systematically investigate ZIF-8 vibrational spectra by combining experimental IR spectroscopy and first-principles molecular dynamics simulations, focusing on assigning peaks and elucidating the spectroscopic signals of putative defects present in the ZIF-8 material. We attempt to resolve conflicting assignments from the literature and to provide a comprehensive understanding of the vibrational spectra of ZIF-8 and its defect-induced variations, aiming toward more precise quality control and design of ZIF-8-based materials for emerging applications.

Abstract
By combining the porosity of crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the unique processability of the liquid state, melt-quenched MOF glasses offer exciting opportunities for molecular separation. However, progress in this field is limited by two factors. Firstly, only very few MOFs melt at elevated temperatures and transform into stable glasses upon cooling the corresponding MOF liquid. Secondly, the MOF glasses obtained thus far feature only very small porosities and very small pore sizes. Here, we demonstrate solvent-assisted linker exchange (SALE) as a versatile method to prepare highly porous melt-quenched MOF glasses from the canonical ZIF-8. Two additional organic linkers are incorporated into the non-meltable ZIF-8, yielding high-entropy, linker-exchanged ZIF-8 derivatives undergoing crystal-to-liquid-to-glass phase transitions by thermal treatment. The ZIF-8 glasses demonstrate specific pore volumes of about 0.2 cm3g-1, adsorb large amounts of technologically relevant C3 and C4 hydrocarbons, and feature high kinetic sorption selectivities for the separation of propylene from propane.

Abstract
For decades, the study of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been limited primarily to their behavior as crystalline solids. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that they can undergo reversible crystal-to-liquid transitions. However, their "liquid" states have primarily been considered intermediate states, and their diverse properties and applications of the liquid itself have been overlooked. As we learn from organic polymers, ceramics, and metals, understanding the structures and properties of liquid states is essential for exploring new properties and functions that are not achievable in their crystalline state. This review presents state-of-the-art research on the liquid states of CPs and MOFs while discussing the fundamental concepts involved in controlling them. We consider the different types of crystal-to-liquid transitions found in CPs and MOFs while extending the interpretation toward other functional metal-organic liquids, such as metal-containing ionic liquids and porous liquids, and try to suggest the unique features of CP/MOF liquids. We highlight their potential applications and present an outlook for future opportunities.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2307981.

Abstract
A new method to engineer hierarchically porous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) through selective ligand removal (SeLiRe) is presented. This innovative approach involves crafting mixed-ligand ZIFs (ML-ZIFs) with varying proportions of 2-aminobenzimidazole (NH2-bIm) and 2-methylimidazole (2-mIm), followed by controlled thermal treatments. This process creates a dual-pore system, incorporating both micropores and additional mesopores, suggesting selective cleavage of metal-ligand coordination bonds. Achieving this delicate balance requires adjustment of heating conditions for each mixed-ligand ratio, enabling the targeted removal of NH2-bIm from a variety of ML-ZIFs while preserving their inherent microporous framework. Furthermore, the distribution of the initial thermolabile ligand plays a pivotal role in determining the resulting mesopore architecture. The efficacy of this methodology is aptly demonstrated through the assessment of hierarchically porous ZIFs for their potential in adsorbing diverse organic dyes in aqueous environments. Particularly striking is the performance of the 10%NH2-ZIF-2 h, which showcases an astonishing 40-fold increase in methylene blue adsorption capacity compared to ZIF-8, attributed to larger pore volumes that accelerate the diffusion of dye molecules to adsorption sites. This versatile technique opens new avenues for designing micro/mesoporous ZIFs, particularly suited for liquid media scenarios necessitating efficient active site access and optimal diffusion kinetics, such as purification, catalysis, and sensing.

Abstract
The integration of graphene and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has numerous implications across various domains, but fabricating such assemblies is often complicated and time-consuming. Herein, a one-step preparation of graphene-MOF assembly is presented by directly impregnating vertical graphene (VG) arrays into the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) precursors under ambient conditions. This approach can effectively assemble multiple ZIFs, including ZIF-7, ZIF-8, and ZIF-67, resulting in their uniform dispersion on the VG with adjustable sizes and shapes. Hydrogen defects on the VG surface are critical in inducing such high-efficiency ZIF assembly, acting as the reactive sites to interact with the ZIF precursors and facilitate their crystallisation. The versatility of VG-ZIF-67 assembly is further demonstrated by exploring the process of MOF amorphization. Surprisingly, this process leads to an amorphous thin-film coating formed on VG (named VG-IL-amZIF-67), which preserves the short-range molecular bonds of crystalline ZIF-67 while sacrificing the long-range order. Such a unique film-on-graphene architecture maintains the essential characteristics and functionalities of ZIF-67 within a disordered arrangement, making it well-suited for electrocatalysis. In electrochemical oxygen reduction, VG-IL-amZIF-67 exhibits exceptional activity, selectivity, and stability to produce H2O2 in acid media.

Abstract
There is growing focus on the crucial task of effectively capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to mitigate environmental consequences. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used to replace many conventional materials in gas separation, and the incorporation of ionic liquids (ILs) into porous MOFs has shown promise as a new technique for improving CO2 capture and separation. However, the driving force underlying the electronic modulation of MOF nanostructures and the mechanisms behind their high CO2 adsorption remain unclear. This study reports the effect of encapsulating different imidazolium ILs in porous ZIF-8, to clarify the adsorption mechanism of CO2 using density functional theory (DFT)-based approaches. For this purpose, a range of anions, including bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [NTf2], methanesulfonate [MeSO3], and acetate [AC], were combined with the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium [EMIM]+ cation. [EMIM]+-based ILs@ZIF-8 composites were computationally investigated to identify suitable materials for CO2 capture. First, the intermolecular and intramolecular interactions between [EMIM]+ and different anions were examined in detail, and their effects on CO2 adsorption were explored. Subsequently, the integration of these ILs into the ZIF-8 solid structure was studied to reveal how their interactions influenced the CO2 adsorption behavior. Our results demonstrate that the incorporation of ILs strongly affects the adsorption capability of CO2, which is highly dependent on the nature of the ILs inside the ZIF-8 framework. DFT simulations further confirmed that the incorporation of ILs into ZIF-8 led to superior CO2 capture compared to isolated ILs and pristine ZIF-8. This improvement was attributed to the mutual interactions between the ILs and ZIF-8, which effectively fine-tuned CO2 adsorption within the composite structure. This understanding may act as a general guide for gaining more insight into the interfacial interactions between ILs and ZIFs structures and how these molecular-level interactions can help predict the selection of ILs for CO2 adsorption and separation, thereby addressing environmental challenges with greater precision and effectiveness.

Abstract
A novel strategy was proposed to improve the performance of gas separation in nano-materials, by fabricating a core-shell structure out of the basic ionic liquid ([Emim]2[IDA]) and zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8). The [Emim]2[IDA]/ZIF-8 exhibits a remarkable CO2 adsorption capacity of 14 cm3 g-1 at 298 K and 20 kPa, the ideal selectivity of CO2/N2 is as high as 104 and CO2/CH4 is 348 at 298 K and 100 kPa, which are much higher than the CO2 adsorption capacity (4.3 cm3 g-1) and the selectivity (SCO2/N2 = 7.4, SCO2/CH4 = 2.7) of ZIF-8. This work could pave the way for designing advanced nanostructures tailored for gas separation.

Abstract
Water is one of the most reactive and abundant molecules on Earth, and it is thus crucial to understand its reactivity with various material families. One of the big unknown questions is how water in liquid and vapor forms impact the fast-emerging class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we discover that high-pressure water vapor drastically modifies the structure and hence the dynamic, thermodynamic, and mechanical properties of MOF glasses. In detail, we find that an archetypical MOF (ZIF-62) is extremely sensitive to heat treatments performed at 460 °C and water vapor pressures up to ∼110 bar. Both the melting and glass transition temperatures decrease remarkably (by >100 °C), and simultaneously, hardness and Young's modulus increase by up to 100% under very mild treatment conditions (<20 bar of hydrothermal pressure). Structural analyses suggest water to partially coordinate to Zn in the form of a hydroxide ion by replacing a bridging imidazolate-based linker. The work provides insight into the role of hot-compressed water in influencing the structure and properties of MOF glasses and opens a new route for systematically changing the thermodynamics and kinetics of MOF liquids and thus altering the thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting MOF glasses.

Abstract
Here, we report the synthesis of BCN-93, a meltable, functionalized, and permanently porous metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) and its subsequent transformation into amorphous or crystalline, shaped, self-standing, transparent porous films via melting and subsequent cooling. The synthesis entails the outer functionalization of a MOP with meltable polymer chains: in our model case, we functionalized a Rh(II)-based cuboctahedral MOP with poly(ethylene glycol). Finally, we demonstrate that once melted, BCN-93 can serve as a porous matrix into which other materials or molecules can be dispersed to form mixed-matrix composites. To illustrate this, we combined BCN-93 with one of various additives (either two MOF crystals, a porous cage, or a linear polymer) to generate a series of mixed-matrix films, each of which exhibited greater CO2 uptake relative to the parent film.

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

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses are an emerging class of glasses which complement traditional inorganic, organic and metallic counterparts due to their hybrid nature. Although a few zeolitic imidazolate frameworks have been made into glasses, how to melt and quench the largest subclass of MOFs, metal carboxylate frameworks, into glasses remains challenging. Here, we develop a strategy by grafting the zwitterions on the carboxylate ligands and incorporating organic acids in the framework channels to enable the glass formation. The charge delocalization of zwitterion-acid subsystem and the densely filled channels facilitate the coordination bonding mismatch and thus reduce the melting temperature. Following melt-quenching realizes the glass formation of a family of carboxylate MOFs (UiO-67, UiO-68 and DUT-5), which are usually believed to be un-meltable. Our work opens up an avenue for melt-quenching porous molecular solids into glasses.

Abstract
Porous metal-organic frameworks have emerged to resolve important challenges of our modern society, such as CO2 sequestration. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can undergo a glass transition to form ZIF glasses; they combine the liquid handling of classical glasses with the tremendous potential for gas separation applications of ZIFs. Using millimetre-sized ZIF-62 single crystals and centimetre-sized ZIF-62 glass, we demonstrate the scalability and processability of our materials. Further, following the evolution of gas penetration into ZIF crystals and ZIF glasses by infrared microimaging techniques, we determine the diffusion coefficients and changes to the pore architecture on the ångström scale. The evolution of the material on melting and processing is observed in situ on different length scales by using a microscope-coupled heating stage and analysed microstructurally by transmission electron microscopy. Pore collapse during glass processing is further tracked by changes in the volume and density of the glasses. Mass spectrometry was utilized to investigate the crystal-to-glass transition and thermal-processing ability. The controllable tuning of the pore diameter in ZIF glass may enable liquid-processable ZIF glass membranes for challenging gas separations.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of porous crystalline materials consisting of metal-based nodes and organic linkers, have emerged as a promising platform for photocatalysis due to their ultrahigh functional surface area, customizable topologies, and tunable energetics. While interesting photochemistry has been reported, the related photoinduced structural dynamics of MOFs remains unclear. The consensus is that the coordination bonds between MOF nodes and linkers are considered static during photoexcitation, while the open-metal sites on the nodes are taken as the key active sites for catalysis. In this work, through a complementary time-resolved visible and infrared (IR) spectroscopic investigation, along with computational studies, we report for the first time light-induced structural bond dissociation (COO-M) and reformation in an iron-oxo framework, MIL-101(Fe). The probed excited state displayed ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) characteristics and exhibited a ca. 30 μs lifetime. The incredibly long excited-state lifetime led us to probe potential structural rearrangements that facilitated charge separation in MIL-101(Fe). By probing the vibrational fingerprints of the carboxylate linker upon LMCT photoexcitation, we observed the reversible transition of the carboxylate-Fe bond from a bidentate bridging mode to a monodentate mode, indicating the partial dissociation of the carboxylate ligand. Importantly, the bidentate configuration is recovered on the same time scale of the excited state lifetimes as probed via visible transient absorption spectroscopy. The elucidated photoinduced configurational dynamics provides a foundation for an in-depth understanding of MOF-based photocatalytic mechanisms.

Abstract
The stellar optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskites provide enormous promise for next-generation optical devices with excellent conversion efficiencies and lower manufacturing costs. However, there is a long-standing ambiguity as to whether the perovskite surface/interface (e.g. structure, charge transfer or source of off-target recombination) or bulk properties are the more determining factor in device performance. Here we fabricate an array of CsPbI3 crystal and hybrid glass composites by sintering and globally visualise the property-performance landscape. Our findings reveal that the interface is the primary determinant of the crystal phases, optoelectronic quality, and stability of CsPbI3. In particular, the presence of a diffusion "alloying" layer is discovered to be critical for passivating surface traps, and beneficially altering the energy landscape of crystal phases. However, high-temperature sintering results in the promotion of a non-stoichiometric perovskite and excess traps at the interface, despite the short-range structure of halide is retained within the alloying layer. By shedding light on functional hetero-interfaces, our research offers the key factors for engineering high-performance perovskite devices.

Abstract
The interface within a composite is critically important for the chemical and physical properties of these materials. However, experimental structural studies of the interfacial regions within metal-organic framework (MOF) composites are extremely challenging. Here, we provide the first example of a new MOF composite family, i.e., using an inorganic glass matrix host in place of the commonly used organic polymers. Crucially, we also decipher atom-atom interactions at the interface. In particular, we dispersed a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) within a phosphate glass matrix and identified interactions at the interface using several different analysis methods of pair distribution function and multinuclear multidimensional magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These demonstrated glass-ZIF atom-atom correlations. Additionally, carbon dioxide uptake and stability tests were also performed to check the increment of the surface area and the stability and durability of the material in different media. This opens up possibilities for creating new composites that include the intrinsic chemical properties of the constituent MOFs and inorganic glasses.

Physicochemical properties and density functional theory calculation of octahedral UiO-66 with Bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ionic liquids. Heliyon 2023; 9:e20743.

Abstract
In this study, the physicochemical properties and molecular interactions between zirconium-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66) and three different ionic liquids based on bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion (EMIM+, BMIM+ and OMIM+) was performed via a combined experimental and computational approach. The ionic liquid loaded UiO-66 or IL@UiO-66 was synthesized and characterized to understand the host-guest interaction. Density functional theory calculation was performed to analyse the electronic structure of IL@UiO-66 to provide molecular insight on the dominant interactions occurred in the hybrid material. Results showed that all ILs were successfully incorporated into the micropores of UiO-66. The 3D framework was retained even after loaded with ILs as analyzed from XRD pattern. FTIR spectrum reveals that interactions of ILs with UiO-66 influenced by the alkyl chain length of the cation. The anion has a profound affinity with the UiO-66 due to the presence of electronegative atoms. Phase transition study from DSC suggested that the incorporation of ILs has stabilized the framework of UiO-66 by shifting the endothermic peak to a higher state. These findings were further elaborated with DFT calculation. Geometrical optimizations confirmed the structural parameter changes of UiO-66 when loaded with ILs. These was mainly contributed by the non-covalent interactions which was confirmed by the reduced density gradient scattered plot. Another important findings are the strength of hydrogen bonding at the host-guest interface was influenced by the alkyl chain length. The molecular orbital analysis also shows that the size of alkyl chain influence the reactivity of the hybrid material. The present study provides fundamental insights on the molecular interaction of UiO-66 and ILs as a hybrid material, which can open new possibilities for advanced material for metal-organic framework applications in energy storage system, catalysis, gas storage and medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Therapeutic bioactive macromolecules hold great promise in cancer therapy, but challenges such as low encapsulation efficiency and susceptibility to inactivation during the targeted co-delivery hinder their widespread applications. Compartmentalized nano-metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) can easily load macromolecules in the innermost layer, protect them from the outside environment, and selectively release them in the target location after stimulation, showing great potential in the co-delivery of biomacromolecules. Herein, the rationally designed (GOx + CAT)/ZIF-8@BSATPZ/ZIF-8 (named GCZ@BTZ) nMOFs with compartmentalized structures are employed to deliver cascaded enzymes and the chemotherapeutic drug tirapazamine (TPZ)-conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSATPZ). Benefiting from the compartmentalized structure and protective shell, the GCZ@BTZ system is stable during blood circulation and preferentially accumulates in the tumor. Furthermore, in response to the acidic tumor environment, GCZ@BTZ effectively released the loading enzymes and BSATPZ. Along with the tumor starvation caused by depletion of glucose, cascaded reactions could also contribute to the enhancement of tumor hypoxia, which further activated BSATPZ-based chemotherapy. Notably, in the mouse tumor models, GCZ@BTZ treatment significantly inhibits tumor survival and metastasis. Such a compartmentalized nMOF delivery system presents a promising avenue for the efficient delivery of bioactive macromolecules.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and ionic liquids (ILs) represent promising materials for adsorption separation. ILs incorporated into MOF materials (denoted as IL/MOF composites) have been developed, and IL/MOF composites combine the advantages of MOFs and ILs to achieve enhanced performance in the adsorption-based separation of fluid mixtures. The designed different ILs are introduced into the various MOFs to tailor their functional properties, which affect the optimal adsorptive separation performance. In this Perspective, the rational fabrication of IL/MOF composites is presented, and their functional properties are demonstrated. This paper provides a critical overview of an emergent class of materials termed IL/MOF composites as well as the recent advances in the applications of IL/MOF composites as adsorbents or membranes in fluid separation. Furthermore, the applications of IL/MOF in adsorptive gas separations (CO2 capture from flue gas, natural gas purification, separation of acetylene and ethylene, indoor pollutants removal) and liquid separations (separation of bioactive components, organic-contaminant removal, adsorptive desulfurization, radionuclide removal) are discussed. Finally, the existing challenges of IL/MOF are highlighted, and an appropriate design strategy direction for the effective exploration of new IL/MOF adsorptive materials is proposed.

Abstract
The globally booming renewable power industry has stimulated an unprecedented interest in metals as key infrastructure components. Many economies with different endowments and levels of technology participate in various production stages and cultivate value in global renewable power industry production networks, known as global renewable power value chains (RPVCs), complicating the identification of metal supply for the subsequent low-carbon power generation and demand. Here, we use a multi-regional input-output model (MRIO) combined with a value chain decomposition model to trace the metal footprints (MFs) and value-added of major global economies' renewable power sectors. We find that the MFs of the global renewable power demand increased by 97% during 2005-2015. Developed economies occupy the high-end segments of RPVCs while allocating metal-intensive (but low value-added) production activities to developing economies. The fast-growing demand for renewable power in developed economies or developing economies with upper middle income, particularly China, is a major contributor to the embodied metal transfer increment within RPVCs, which is partly offset by the declining metal intensities in developing economies. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a metal-efficient and green supply chain for upstream suppliers as well as downstream renewable power installers for just transition in the power sector across the globe.

Abstract
The melting phenomenon in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been recognised as one of the fourth generation MOF paradigm behaviours. Molten MOFs have high processibility for producing mechanically robust glassy MOF macrostructures, and they also offer highly tunable interfacial characteristics when combined with other types of functional materials, such as crystalline MOFs, inorganic glass and metal halide perovskites. As a result, MOF glass composites have emerged as a family of functional materials with dynamic properties and hierarchical structural control. These nanocomposites allow for sophisticated materials science studies as well as the fabrication of next-generation separation, catalysis, optical, and biomedical devices. Here, we review the approaches for designing, fabricating, and characterising MOF glass composites. We determine the key application opportunities enabled by these composites and explore the remaining hurdles, such as improving thermal and chemical compatibility, regulating interfacial properties, and scalability.

Abstract
Zeolite Imidazole Framework-8 (ZIF-8) with a robust structure and high thermal stability is a strong candidate to act as the catalyst matrix for various chemical applications, especially for those at higher temperatures, like hydrogenation. In this study, the time-dependent plasticity of a ZIF-8 single crystal was explored by a dynamic indentation technique to explore its mechanical stability at higher temperatures. The thermal dynamic parameters for the creep behaviors, like activation volume and activation energy, were determined, and possible mechanisms for the creep of ZIF-8 were then discussed. A small activation volume implies the localization of the thermo-activated events, while high activation energy, high stress exponent n, and weak dependence of the creep rate on temperature all favor pore collapse over volumetric diffusion as the creep mechanism.

Abstract
The loading treatment of phosphorus flame retardants can mitigate their migration and plasticization effect. However, designing suitable carriers has remained a great challenge. Herein, two kinds of Co-based isomers, namely cobalt-cobalt layered double hydroxides (CoCo-LDH) and cobalt basic carbonate (CBC), were synthesized by employing ZIF-67 as a self-template, assemblied into two different nanostructures namely multi-yolk@shell CBC@CoCo-LDH (m-CBC@LDH) and solid CBC nanoparticles by facilely tuning the reaction time, which were employed as carriers, respectively. Subsequently, triphenyl phosphate (TPP)-loaded m-CBC@LDH (m-CBC-P@LDH) was prepared using TPP as the guest. The m-CBC@LDH with high specific surface area and hollow structure exhibited up to more than 30% of TPP loading. The peak of heat release rate and total heat release of polyurea composite blended with 5 wt% m-CBC-P@LDH reduced by 41.7% and 20.6% respectively, and the mechanical properties were less damaged. This work complements a feasible approach for preparation of metal-organic frameworks-derived flame retardant carriers.

Abstract
Chemical diversification of hybrid organic-inorganic glasses remains limited, especially compared to traditional oxide glasses, for which property tuning is possible through addition of weakly bonded modifier cations. In this work, it is shown that water can depolymerize polyhedra with labile metal-ligand bonds in a cobalt-based coordination network, yielding a series of nonstoichiometric glasses. Calorimetric, spectroscopic, and simulation studies demonstrate that the added water molecules promote the breakage of network bonds and coordination number changes, leading to lower melting and glass transition temperatures. These structural changes modify the physical and chemical properties of the melt-quenched glass, with strong parallels to the "modifier" concept in oxides. It is shown that this approach also applies to other transition metal-based coordination networks, and it will thus enable diversification of hybrid glass chemistry, including nonstoichiometric glass compositions, tuning of properties, and a significant rise in the number of glass-forming hybrid systems by allowing them to melt before thermal decomposition.

Abstract
Metal coordination compound (MCC) glasses [e.g., metal-organic framework (MOF) glass, coordination polymer glass, and metal inorganic-organic complex (MIOC) glass] are emerging members of the hybrid glass family. So far, a limited number of crystalline MCCs can be converted into glasses by melt-quenching. Here, we report a universal wet-chemistry method, by which the super-sized supramolecular MIOC glasses can be synthesized from non-meltable MOFs. Alcohol and acid were used as agents to inhibit crystallization. The MIOC glasses demonstrate unique features including high transparency, shaping capability, and anisotropic network. Directional photoluminescence with a large polarization ratio (≈47 %) was observed from samples doped with organic dyes. This crystallization-suppressing approach enables fabrication of super-sized MCC glasses, which cannot be achieved by conventional vitrification methods, and thus allows for exploring new MCC glasses possessing photonic functionalities.

Abstract
A metal-organic framework (MOF) is a three-dimensional crystalline compound made from organic ligands and metals. The cross-linkage between organic ligands and metals creates a network of coordination polymers containing adjustable voids with a high total surface area. This special feature of MOF made it possible to form a host-guest interaction with small molecules, such as ionic liquid (IL), which can alter the phase behavior and improve the performance in battery applications. The molecular interactions of MOF and IL are, however, hard to understand due to the limited number of computational studies. In this study, the structural parameters of a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [EMIM][TFSI] were investigated via a combined experimental and computational approach using the linker model approach. When IL was loaded, the bond length and bond angle of organic linkers were distorted due to the increased electron density surrounding the framework. The increase in molecular orbital energy after confining IL stabilized the structure of this hybrid system. The molecular interactions study revealed that the combination of UiO-66 and [EMIM][TFSI] could be a promising candidate as an electrolyte material in an energy storage system.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor, and its early diagnosis remains challenging due to the lack of simple and sensitive detection methods and specific biomarkers. In this work, to improve the detection reliability, we developed a dual-mode detection strategy for the detection of two biomarkers associated with it. First, an N- and S-doped carbon dots-N-rich porous carbon nanoenzyme (N/S-CDs@NC) was prepared by a two-step pyrolysis of thiourea-penetrated zinc-based zeolite imidazole framework. It was then combined with the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine-H2O2 system for the colorimetric detection of d-amino acids (i.e., d-proline (d-Pro) and d-alanine (d-Ala)) in saliva, based on d-amino acid oxidase catalyzing d-amino acid oxidation to produce H2O2. In this way, the low detection limits (S/N = 3) of d-Pro and d-Ala were 0.14 and 0.35 μM, respectively. Furthermore, N/S-CDs@NC was combined with the luminol-H2O2 electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system and magnetic immune accumulation/separation strategy to detect the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in serum. The porous N/S-CDs@NC could facilitate participant contact, promote the generation of hydroxyl radical (•OH), and electrostatically attract •OH, thereby significantly amplifying the ECL signal of luminol and improving the signal stability. Thus, the detection mode showed considerable sensitivity and selectivity, with a low detection limit of 0.26 pg mL-1. The strategy proposed in this work can also be used for the detection of other disease markers by substituting the recognition elements, thus having good application potential.

Abstract
The effects of pressure on the structural and electronic properties and the ionic configuration of ZIF-4 were investigated through the first-principles method based on the density functional theory. The elastic properties, including the isotropic bulk modulus K, shear modulus G, Young's modulus E, and Poisson's ratio ν of the orthorhombic-type structure ZIF-4 were determined using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill averaging scheme. The results show that the ZIF-4 phase is ductile according to the analysis of K/G and Cauchy pressure. The Debye temperatures obtained from the elastic stiffness constants increase with increasing pressure. Finally, the pressure-dependent behaviors of the density of states and ionic configuration are successfully calculated and discussed.

Abstract
Owing to the high surface area and porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could be utilized as both nanocarriers of biopharmaceuticals and nanoreactors to organize cascade biological reactions with great potential in cancer treatment. However, nanoscale MOFs suitable for biomedical applications rely on harsh preparation conditions. Here, we utilized tryptophan to modulate the morphology and optical properties of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as nanocarrier to efficiently encapsulate the enzyme and mRNA. Under room temperature in an aqueous solution, tryptophan would coordinate with zinc ions to form ZIF-8:Trp with a decreased size from the μm range to sub-200 nm. In addition, cargo release could be monitored in real time via fluorescence red-shift effects. Besides being used as nanocarriers of biomolecules, ZIF-8:Trp could also be utilized as nanoreactors to induce cascade reactions to produce reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Overall, this nanosized ZIF-8:Trp could provide a new strategy for preparation of cascade bioreactions and provide new insight for gas therapy.

Abstract
Composites formed by a metal-organic framework (MOF) and an ionic liquid (IL) are potentially interesting materials for applications ranging from gas separation to electrochemical devices. Consequently, there is a need for robust and low-cost preparation procedures that are compatible with the desired applications. We herein report a solvent-free, one-step, and vapor-based ship-in-bottle synthesis of the IL@MOF composite 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide@ZIF-8 in powder and thin film forms. In this approach, volatile IL precursors evaporate and subsequently adsorb and react within the MOF cages to form the IL.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is considered to be a highly sensitive platform for chemical and biological sensing. Recently, owing to their high porosity and large surface area, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable attention in sensing applications. Porous carbon nanostructures are promising SERS substrates due to their strong broadband charge-transfer resonance and reproducible fabrication. Furthermore, an extraordinarily large enhancement of the electromagnetic field enables plasmonic nanomaterials to be ideal SERS substrates. Here, we demonstrate the porous Au@Ag nanostructure-decorated MOF-derived nanoporous carbon (NPC) for highly efficient SERS sensing. Specifically, this plasmonic nanomaterial-NPC composite offers high Raman signal enhancement with the ability to detect the model Raman reporter 2-naphthalenethiol (2-NT) at picomolar concentration levels.

Abstract
The hydrogen evolution and dendrite of Zn anode are the major troubles hindering the commercialization of aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs). ZIF-Ls, a typical metal-organic framework (MOF) with a highly ordered structure and abundant functional groups, seem to be the answer for the above bottlenecks. In this paper, a uniform ZIF-L layer was obtained on the Zn surface (Zn@ZIF-L) via an in situ synthesis method to moderate the solvation structure of solid-liquid interface electrolyte reducing the contact between water and Zn, thereby relieving the hydrogen evolution and corrosion. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) analysis reveals the binding energy of H (-4.01 eV) and Zn (-0.82 eV) for ZIF-L is superior to that of pure Zn (H (-1.49 eV) and Zn (-0.68 eV)). Due to the multifunctional ZIF-L layer, the Zn@ZIF-L can regulate Zn deposition to overcome the dendrite for obtaining a long-life Zn anode. Consequently, the modified Zn@ZIF-L anode can cycle for 800 h at 0.25 mA cm-2 for 0.25 mAh cm-2, while the bare Zn anode is only maintained for 422 h. Finally, a designed V2O5 grown on carbon cloth (V2O5@CC) was used as the cathode and coupled with the Zn@ZIF-L anode to assemble the full-cell. The Zn@ZIF-L//V2O5@CC full-cell possesses a capacity retention rate of 84.9% after 250 cycles at 0.5 C, prominently higher than Zn//V2O5@CC (40.7%).

Abstract
In this Review we survey the molecular sieving behaviour of metal-organic framework (MOF) and covalent organic framework (COF) membranes, which is different from that of classical zeolite membranes. The nature of MOFs as inorganic-organic hybrid materials and COFs as purely organic materials is powerful and disruptive for the field of gas separation membranes. The possibility of growing neat MOFs and COFs on membrane supports, while also allowing successful blending into polymer-filler composites, has a huge advantage over classical zeolite molecular sieves. MOFs and COFs allow synthetic access to more than 100,000 different structures and tailor-made molecular gates. Additionally, soft evacuation below 100 °C is often enough to achieve pore activation. Therefore, a huge number of synthetic methods for supported MOF and COF membrane thin films, such as solvothermal synthesis, seed-mediated growth and counterdiffusion, exist. Among them, methods with high scale-up potential, for example, layer-by-layer dip- and spray-coating, chemical and physical vapour deposition, and electrochemical methods. Additionally, physical methods have been developed that involve external stimuli, such as electric fields and light. A particularly important point is their ability to react to stimuli, which has allowed the 'drawbacks' of the non-ideality of the molecular sieving properties to be exploited in a completely novel research direction. Controllable gas transport through membrane films is a next-level property of MOFs and COFs, leading towards adaptive process deviation. MOF and COF particles are highly compatible with polymers, which allows for mixed-matrix membranes. However, these membranes are not simple MOF-polymer blends, as they require improved polymer-filler interactions, such as cross-linking or surface functionalization.

Abstract
Several meltable coordination polymers (CPs) that possess substantial advantages attributable to their high flexibility and processability have been developed recently; however, the melting mechanism and vitrification conditions of these materials are not yet fully understood. In this study, we synthesized meltable CPs [A][K(TCM)2] (A = onium cation, TCM = C(CN)3-) incorporating ionic liquid components and investigated their crystal structures and melting behaviors in detail. These CPs feature two- or three-dimensional anionic [K(TCM)2]n- frameworks incorporating onium cations. Each CP was found to undergo incongruent melting at a temperature between 73 and 192 °C to produce a heterogeneous mixture of the ionic liquid ([A][TCM]) and microcrystalline K[TCM]. Furthermore, they formed homogeneous liquids upon further heating to ∼240 °C. The melting points of these CPs were linearly correlated with those of their constituent ionic liquids. The vitrification of these materials upon rapid cooling from the molten state was further investigated. The cooling rates required for vitrification differed greatly between the CPs and were correlated with the cation flexibility.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recently explored as crystalline solids for conversion into amorphous phases demonstrating non-specific mechanical, catalytic, and optical properties. The real-time control of such structural transformations and their outcomes still remain a challenge. Here, we use in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy with 0.01 s time resolution to explore non-thermal (electron induced) amorphization of a MOF single crystal, followed by transformation into an amorphous nanomaterial. By comparing a series of M-BTC (M: Fe3+, Co3+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+; BTC: 1,3,5-benzentricarboxylic acid), we demonstrate that the topology of a metal cluster of the parent MOFs determines the rate of formation and the chemistry of the resulting phases containing an intact ligand and metal or metal oxide nanoparticles. Confocal Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies further confirm the integrity of the BTC ligand and coordination bond breaking, while high-resolution imaging with chemical and structural analysis over time allows for tracking the dynamics of solid-to-solid transformations. The revealed relationship between the initial and resulting structures and the stability of the obtained phase and its photoluminescence over time contribute to the design of new amorphous MOF-based optical nanomaterials.

Abstract
Here, we propose the combination of glassy or crystalline metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) with inorganic glasses to create novel hybrid composites and blends.The motivation behind this new composite approach is to improve the processability issues and mechanical performance of MOFs, whilst maintaining their ubiquitous properties. Herein, the precepts of successful composite formation and pairing of MOF and glass MOFs with inorganic glasses are presented. Focus is also given to the synthetic routes to such materials and the challenges anticipated in both their production and characterisation. Depending on their chemical nature, materials are classified as crystalline MOF‐glass composites and blends. Additionally, the potential properties and applications of these two classes of materials are considered, the key aim being the retention of beneficial properties of both components, whilst circumventing their respective drawbacks.

Abstract
Phase-change materials (PCMs) are a unique and exciting class of materials with bright prospects in wide-ranging sustainable technologies such as thermal and electrochemical energy storage. While impressive, the effect of gaseous species on PCMs remains largely unexplored hitherto. Here, a gaseous co-solvent is reported that can facilitate melting and modulate physical properties such as viscosity and ion conduction of PCMs. Especially for the appealing application of PCMs as electrolytes, gaseous species also have a critical influence on both Li+ -electrolyte structure and resultant solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Specifically, theoretical simulations and experimental analysis evidence that CO2 can promote melting while reconfiguring the solvation structure of a succinonitrile (SCL)-derived Li+ phase-change electrolyte (Li+ -PCE) model system. Due to the enhanced interaction between Li+ cations and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI- ) anions in the reconfigured solvation structure, more TFSI- -derived F-rich component and extra CO2 -derived Li2 CO3 form in the upgraded SEI layer, thereby endowing proof-of-concept Li-metal batteries with prolonged cyclability. These findings may stimulate widespread interest in gas leverage to innovate electrolyte chemistry.

Abstract
Glassy phases of framework materials feature unique and tunable properties that are advantageous for gas separation membranes, solid electrolytes, and phase-change memory applications. Here, we report a new guanidinium organosulfonate hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) that melts and vitrifies below 100 °C. In this low-temperature regime, non-covalent interactions between guest molecules and the porous framework become a dominant contributor to the overall stability of the structure, resulting in guest-dependent melting, glass, and recrystallization transitions. Through simulations and X-ray scattering, we show that the local structures of the amorphous liquid and glass phases resemble those of the parent crystalline framework.

Abstract
An unusual crystal phase transition was demonstrated in a zeolitic imidazolate framework with a rigid coordination network. Differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction revealed that nanosizing the crystal structure was crucial for the phase transition at low temperature. The thermodynamic parameters of the phase transition were determined by calorimetry.

Abstract
Glasses are materials that lack a crystalline microstructure and long-range atomic order. Instead, they feature heterogeneity and disorder on superstructural scales, which have profound consequences for their elastic response, material strength, fracture toughness, and the characteristics of dynamic fracture. These structure-property relations present a rich field of study in fundamental glass physics and are also becoming increasingly important in the design of modern materials with improved mechanical performance. A first step in this direction involves glass-like materials that retain optical transparency and the haptics of classical glass products, while overcoming the limitations of brittleness. Among these, novel types of oxide glasses, hybrid glasses, phase-separated glasses, and bioinspired glass-polymer composites hold significant promise. Such materials are designed from the bottom-up, building on structure-property relations, modeling of stresses and strains at relevant length scales, and machine learning predictions. Their fabrication requires a more scientifically driven approach to materials design and processing, building on the physics of structural disorder and its consequences for structural rearrangements, defect initiation, and dynamic fracture in response to mechanical load. In this article, a perspective is provided on this highly interdisciplinary field of research in terms of its most recent challenges and opportunities.
