Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are coordination compounds with tuneable structures and controllable functions. However, the biological toxicity of traditional MOFs materials is often inevitable, making their application in the biological field have many limitations. Therefore, frontier research increasingly focuses on developing biocompatible MOFs materials. Cyclodextrins (CDs), derived from starch, are favored by various biomaterials due to their good biosafety and are often seen in the preparation and application of MOFs materials. This review describes the features of MOFs materials, and the various preparation methods of CD-MOFs are analyzed in detail from the perspective of CD classification. Additionally, the promising applications of CD-MOFs materials for delivery, detection, separation, and capture of active molecules in recent studies are systematically discussed and summarized. In terms of safety, the CD-MOFs materials are meticulously summarized. Finally, this review presents the challenges and future prospects regarding the current CD-MOFs-based materials, which will shed new light on the application of such materials in various fields.

Abstract
While there is a tremendous amount of scientific research on metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage/separation, catalysis and energy storage, the development and application of biocompatible MOFs still poses major challenges. In general, they can be synthesised from various biocompatible linkers and metal ions but particularly cyclodextrins (CDs) as cyclic oligosaccharides are an astute choice for the former. Although the field of CD-MOF materials is still in the early stages and their design and fabrication comes with many hurdles, the benefits coming from CDs built in a porous framework are exciting. Versatile host-guest complexation abilities, high encapsulation capacity and hydrophilicity are among the valuable properties inherent to CDs and offer extended and novel applications to MOFs. In this review, we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art synthesis, design, properties and applications of these materials. Initially, a rationale for the preparation of CD-based MOFs is provided, based on the chemical and structural properties of CDs and including their advantages and disadvantages. Further on, the review exhaustively surveys CD-MOF based materials by categorising them into three sub-classes, namely (i) CD-MOFs, (ii) CD-MOF hybrids, obtained via combination with external materials, and (iii) CD-MOF-derived materials prepared under pyrolytic conditions. Subsequently, CD-based MOFs in practical applications, such as drug delivery and cancer therapy, sensors, gas storage, (enantiomer) separations, electrical devices, food industry, and agriculture, are discussed. We conclude by summarizing the state of the art in the field and highlighting some promising future developments of CD-MOFs.

Abstract
Selective Detection of H 2 S in cellular system using fluorescent CPs/MOFs is of great scientific interest due to their outstanding aqueous stability, biocompatibility and real-time detection ability. Fabrication of such materials using complete biologically essential elements and applying them as an efficient biosensors is still quite challenging. In this context, we present two newly synthesized CPs containing biologically essential metal ion (Zn) and nitro/azido functional group on the framework to sense extracellular and intracellular H 2 S by reducing into respective amines. The CP- 1 containing the azide group acted as an efficient fluorencent turn-on probe with lowest detection limit (7.2 µM) and shortest response time (30 sec) among the Zn-based probes reported till date. Moreover, CP-1 exhibited green luminescence in live cells after imaging very low concentration of H 2 S, while the nitro analogue, CP-2, couldn't detect the target analyte due to it's framework disruption.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor was proposed for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at room temperature, by using electroactive Cu2O nanocubes (NCs) as an electrochemical beacon. Electroactive Cu2O NCs were synthesized on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/Fe3O4 nanosheets (NSs) due to the good electronic conductivity and well-responded magnetic responses. The fabricated rGO/Fe3O4/Cu2O NSs not only showed electrochemical oxidization peak at -0.1 V from Cu2O NCs, and could be served as sensitive electrochemical beacon for the simple modification on magnetic electrodes in the applications. The unique redox reaction between Cu2O NCs and H2S enabled the transformation of Cu2O NCs to Cu9S8 NCs, resulting in decreased electroxidation responses at -0.1 V. The constructed electrochemical platform had a limit of detection (LOD) of 230 pM and a detection range of 500 pM-100 μM. The simple and cheap electrochemical sensor developed in this paper showed potential application for H2S detection.

Abstract
Here, we describe a new dinitro-functionalized Zr(iv) MOF (MOF = metal-organic framework) having a UiO-66 (UiO = University of Oslo) framework topology called UiO-66-(NO2)2 (1). It shows fluorescence turn-on behavior towards H2S in simulated biological medium (HEPES buffer, pH = 7.4). By employing solvothermal conditions, 1 was successfully synthesized by reacting ZrCl4, H2BDC-(NO2)2 [H2BDC-(NO2)2 = 2,5-dinitro-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid] ligand and benzoic acid with a molar ratio of 1 : 1 : 10 in DMF (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) at 130 °C for 24 h. The material was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and thermogravimetric (TG) analyses. The compound not only displays highly sensitive fluorometric sensing of H2S but also exhibits a visually detectable colorimetric change towards H2S in daylight. Moreover, the high selectivity of 1' towards H2S is retained even when several other biologically intrusive species co-exist in the sensing medium. The limit of detection (LOD) of the compound is 14.14 μM which lies in the range of the H2S concentration found in biological systems. Fluorescence microscopy studies on J774A.1 cells revealed the efficacy of the probe for imaging H2S in living cells. Moreover, this material can detect H2S in human blood plasma (HBP) and monitor the sulfide concentration in real water samples. All these features clearly demonstrate that the material has huge potential for highly selective sensing of both extracellular and intracellular H2S.

Abstract
Recently, fluorescent nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) have been proven to be useful probes for the detection and imaging of active biomolecules in living cells. However, the excitation wavelengths of these NMOF fluorescence probes are mostly in the ultraviolet region, which unavoidably results in reduced cell activity, limited tissue penetration depth and inevitable biological background interference. Herein, to solve this problem, a CuO functionalized NMOF probe with a tunable excitation wavelength based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) for selective detection and imaging of the third important gaseous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in living cells as an example is presented. In the energy transfer system, NMOF confines the luminophore organic dye thiazole orange within its intrinsic porous matrix as the energy donor, in which the excitation wavelength of the NMOF can be tuned simply from UV to Vis through the choice of dye molecules, and the H2S-responding site copper oxide nanoparticle (CuO NP) is the acceptor. After the surface functionalization of CuO NPs onto the NMOF, the fluorescence of the NMOF can be efficiently quenched based on the FRET. When H2S appeared, the fluorescence of the nanoprobe is recovered due to the interruption of FRET. This facile yet powerful strategy not only provides an instantaneous fluorescence probe for selective H2S detection in living cells but also offers a valuable approach for using porous NMOFs to sense other biological species.

Abstract
A new approach for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was constructed within vesicles comprising phospholipids and amphiphilic copper complex as receptor. 1,2-Distearoyl- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) vesicles with embedded metal complex receptor (1.Cu) sites have been prepared. The vesicles selectively respond to H2S in a buffered solution and show colorimetric as well as spectral transformation. Other analytes such as reactive sulfur species, reactive nitrogen species, biological phosphates, and other anions failed to induce changes. The H2S detection is established through a metal indicator displacement (MIDA) process, where Eosin-Y (EY) was employed as an indicator. Fluorescence, UV-vis spectroscopy, and the naked eye as the signal readout studies confirm the high selectivity, sensitivity, and lower detection limit of the vesicular receptor. The application of vesicular receptors for real sample analysis was also confirmed by fluorescence live cell imaging.

Abstract
An Al(iii) metal-organic framework (MOF) called Al-MIL-53-N3 (1) was synthesized under solvothermal reaction conditions using Al(NO3)3·9H2O and H2BDC-N3 (H2BDC-N3 = 2-azido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid) ligand in a DMF/water (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) mixture. Phase purity was checked by performing X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis suggests that 1 is highly stable up to 300 °C under air atmosphere. The activated 1 (called 1') showed a very fast fluorescence response to H2S (turn-on) and Fe(iii) ions (turn-off) in an aqueous medium with excellent sensitivity and selectivity even in the presence of other potentially intrusive analytes. In the presence of H2S, the conversion of the azide moiety to amine is responsible for the fluorescence turn-on properties. On the other hand, the partial replacement of framework Al(iii) ions by Fe(iii) can be assigned for the selective detection behavior to Fe(iii) ions. The detection limits (90.47 nM for H2S and 0.03 μM for Fe(iii) ions in water) of 1' are lower than those of the formerly reported MOF type of fluorescent sensors. The 1'-loaded J774A.1 macrophage cells are healthy and respond to intracellular H2S to exhibit strong blue fluorescence, confirming its suitability to detect H2S inside the cells. In addition, 1' can detect H2S in human blood plasma (HBP) and sulfide ions in real water samples. These features make 1' a very promising candidate for the on-site sensing of Fe(iii) ions and the detection of intracellular and extracellular H2S.

Abstract
We have previously developed a highly efficient fluorescence-based toxicant-detection method that operates in complex environments to detect aromatic toxicants and toxicant metabolites with high sensitivity and selectivity. This method relies on the ability of γ-cyclodextrin to act as a supramolecular scaffold, and uses a variety of non-covalent interactions between the cyclodextrin, toxicant, and fluorophore to enable efficient detection. Reported herein is an investigation of the effect of various experimental parameters, including host concentration, temperature, pH, salt, and solvent, on the observed energy-transfer efficiencies. These results advance our understanding of γ-cyclodextrin-based association complexes and provide crucial information for the development of fluorescence-based sensors using such complexation and the resultant fluorescence-based detection.

Abstract
Organic nanotubes, as assembled nanospaces, in which to carry out host-guest chemistry, reversible binding of smaller species for transport, sensing, storage or chemical transformation purposes, are currently attracting substantial interest, both as biological ion channel mimics, or for addressing tailored material properties. Nature's materials and machinery are universally asymmetric, and, for chemical entities, controlled asymmetry comes from chirality. Together with carbon nanotubes, conformationally stable molecular building blocks and macrocycles have been used for the realization of organic nanotubes, by means of their assembly in the third dimension. In both cases, chiral properties have started to be fully exploited to date. In this paper, we review recent exciting developments in the synthesis and assembly of chiral nanotubes, and of their functional properties. This review will include examples of either molecule-based or macrocycle-based systems, and will try and rationalize the supramolecular interactions at play for the three-dimensional (3D) assembly of the nanoscale architectures.
