Abstract
The extensive usage of neonicotinoid insecticides (NIs) has raised many concerns about their potential harm to environment and human health. Thus, it is of great importance to develop an efficient and reliable method to determine NIs in food samples. In this work, three Zr4+-based metal-organic frameworks functionalized with various numbers of hydroxyl groups were fabricated with a facile one-pot solvothermal method. Among them, dihydroxy modified UiO-66 (UiO-66-(OH)2) exhibited best adsorption performance towards five target NIs. Then, a sensitive and efficient method for detection of NIs from vegetable and fruit samples was established based on dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE) with UiO-66-(OH)2 as adsorbent coupled with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Key parameters affecting the dSPE procedure including amounts of adsorbent, adsorption time, eluent solvents and desorption time were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, rapid adsorption of NIs within five minutes was achieved due to the high affinity of UiO-66-(OH)2 towards NIs. The developed method exhibited high sensitivity with limits of detection (LODs) varied from 0.003 to 0.03 ng/mL and wide linearity range over 3-4 orders of magnitude from 0.01 to 500 ng/mL. Furthermore, the established method was applied for determining trace NIs from complex matrices with recoveries ranging from 74.6 to 99.6 % and 77.0-106.8 % for pear and tomato samples, respectively. The results indicate the potential of UiO-66-(OH)2 for efficient enrichment of trace NIs from complex matrices.

Abstract
Solid-state nanochannels (SSNs) have emerged as promising platforms for controlling ionic transport at the nanoscale. SSNs are highly versatile, and this feature can be enhanced through their combination with porous materials such as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF). By selection of specific building blocks and experimental conditions, different MOF architectures can be obtained, and this can influence the ionic transport properties through the nanochannel. Herein, we study the effects of confined synthesis of Zr-based UiO-66 MOF on the ion transport properties of single bullet-shaped poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanochannels. We have found that emerging textural properties from the MOF phase play a determinant role in controlling ionic transport through the nanochannel. We demonstrate that a transition from ion current saturation regimes to diode-like regimes can be obtained by employing different synthetic approaches, namely, counterdiffusion synthesis, where MOF precursors are kept separate and forced to diffuse through the nanochannel, and one-pot synthesis, where both precursors are placed at both ends of the channel. Also, by considering the dependence of the charge state of the UiO-66 MOF on the protonation degree, pH changes offered a mechanism to tune the iontronic output (and selectivity) among different regimes, including anion-driven rectification, cation-driven rectification, ion current saturation, and ohmic behavior. Furthermore, Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) simulations were employed to rationalize the different iontronic outputs observed experimentally for membranes modified by different methods. Our results demonstrate a straightforward tool to synthesize MOF-based SSN membranes with tunable ion transport regimes.

Abstract
The increasing CO2 emissions and their direct impact on climate change due to the greenhouse effect are environmental issues that must be solved as soon as possible. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one class of crystalline adsorbent materials that are thought to have enormous potential in CO2 capture applications. In this research, the effect of changing the metal center between Zr(IV), Ce(IV), and Hf(IV), and the linker between BDC and PDC has been fully studied. Thus, the six UiO-66 isoreticular derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by FTIR, PXRD, TGA, and N2 adsorption. We also report the BET surface area, CO2 adsorption capacities, kinetics, and the adsorption isosteric heat (Qst) of the UiO-66 derivatives mentioned family. The CO2 adsorption kinetics were evaluated using pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Avrami's kinetic models, and the rate-limiting step with Boyd's film diffusion, interparticle diffusion, and intraparticle diffusion models. The isosteric heats of CO2 adsorption using various MOFs are in the range 20-65 kJ mol-1 observing differences in adsorption capacities between 1.15 and 4.72 mmol g-1 at different temperatures due to the electrostatic interactions between CO2 and extra-framework metal ions. The isosteric heat of adsorption calculation in this report, which accounts for the unexpectedly high heat released from Zr-UiO-66-PDC, is finally represented as an increase in the interaction of CO2 with the PDC linker and an increase in Qst with defects.

This comprehensive review explores the diverse applications of defective zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) in energy and environmental remediation. Zr-MOFs have gained significant attention due to their unique properties, and deliberate introduction of defects further enhances their functionality. The review encompasses several areas where defective Zr-MOFs exhibit promise, including environmental remediation, detoxification of chemical warfare agents, photocatalytic energy conversions, and electrochemical applications. Defects play a pivotal role by creating open sites within the framework, facilitating effective adsorption and remediation of pollutants. They also contribute to the catalytic activity of Zr-MOFs, enabling efficient energy conversion processes such as hydrogen production and CO2 reduction. The review underscores the importance of defect manipulation, including control over their distribution and type, to optimize the performance of Zr-MOFs. Through tailored defect engineering and precise selection of functional groups, researchers can enhance the selectivity and efficiency of Zr-MOFs for specific applications. Additionally, pore size manipulation influences the adsorption capacity and transport properties of Zr-MOFs, further expanding their potential in environmental remediation and energy conversion. Defective Zr-MOFs exhibit remarkable stability and synthetic versatility, making them suitable for diverse environmental conditions and allowing for the introduction of missing linkers, cluster defects, or post-synthetic modifications to precisely tailor their properties. Overall, this review highlights the promising prospects of defective Zr-MOFs in addressing energy and environmental challenges, positioning them as versatile tools for sustainable solutions and paving the way for advancements in various sectors toward a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Abstract
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are a major class of environmental pollutants hazardous to human health, but also highly relevant in other fields including early disease diagnostics and organoleptic perception of aliments. Therefore, accurate analysis of VOC is essential, and a need for new analytical methods is witnessed for rapid on-site detection without complex sample preparation. Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) offers a rapidly developing versatile analytical platform for the portable detection of chemical species. Nonetheless, the need for efficient docking of target analytes at the metallic surface significantly narrows the applicability of SERS. This limitation can be circumvented by interfacing the sensor surface with Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF). These materials featuring chemical and structural versatility can efficiently pre-concentrate low molecular weight species such as VOC through their ordered porous structure. This review presents recent trends in the development of MOF-based SERS substrates with a focus on elucidating respective design rules for maximizing analytical performance. An overview of the status of the detection of harmful VOC is discussed in the context of industrial and environmental monitoring. In addition, a survey of the analysis of VOC biomarkers for medical diagnosis and emerging applications in aroma and flavor profiling is included.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the catalytic activity and stability of ligand-modified UiO-66 with different functional groups (-NO2, -OH) in deep oxidative desulfurization from a model fuel (MF). The planar sulfur compounds included dibenzothiophene (DBT), 2-methylbenzothiazole (2-MB), and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) in n-dodecane as the fuel phase. The synthesized functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis, and microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (MP-AES). The experiment assessment and desulfurization reaction optimization were carried out by the central composite design methodology. Response surface methodology and analysis of variance were employed to evaluate the individual process factors, their interactions, and sulfur removal responses. The responses showed that the oxidation of the planar compounds declined following the sequence DBT > 2-MB ≫ 4,6-DMDBT for all the MOFs. The findings revealed that at 66.7 °C, 3.0 equiv of oxidative agent over sulfur and 9.7 of MOF over sulfur by weight achieved the highest removal efficiency of 98.68% DBT, 93.23% 2-MB, and 69.32% 4,6-DMDBT for UiO-66-NO2 as a catalyst from the model fuel. It was also observed that UiO-66-NO2 had a higher efficiency in deep oxidative desulfurization when compared to other UiO-66-based catalysts used in the current study. Under optimal conditions, all the MOFs showed acceptable catalytic activity and reusability after four runs, although gradual loss of activity was observed.

Abstract
The toxicity for the human body of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) overdoses is a consequence of their low water solubility, high doses, and facile accessibility to the population. New drug delivery systems (DDS) are necessary to overcome the bioavailability and toxicity related to NSAIDs. In this context, UiO-66(Zr) metal-organic framework (MOF) shows high porosity, stability, and load capacity, thus being a promising DDS. However, the adsorption and release capability for different NSAIDs is scarcely described. In this work, the biocompatible UiO-66(Zr) MOF was used to study the adsorption and release conditions of ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac using a theoretical and experimental approximation. DFT results showed that the MOF-drug interaction was due to an intermolecular hydrogen bond between protons of the groups in the defect sites, (μ3 - OH, and - OH2) and a lone pair of oxygen carboxyl functional group of the NSAIDs. Also, the experimental results suggest that the solvent where the drug is dissolved affects the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics are similar between the drugs, but the maximum load capacity differs for each drug. The release kinetics assay showed a solvent dependence kinetics whose maximum liberation capacity is affected by the interaction between the drug and the material. Finally, the biological assays show that none of the systems studied are cytotoxic for HMVEC. Additionally, the wound healing assay suggests that the UiO-66(Zr) material has potential application on the wound healing process. However, further studies should be done.

Abstract
In the current study, synthesis and use of a novel adsorbent (composite in nature) are presented for treatment of one of the most commonly found pharmaceutical compound, viz, diclofenac sodium (DCF) in waste water. Synthesis of the composite adsorbent was done by hydrothermal method metal organic framework (MOF) based on Zr metal and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). The composite adsorbent is termed as UiO-66/MWCNT. The confirmation of successful synthesis of the adsorbent is done with the help of sophisticated characterization techniques like FTIR, XRD, zeta potential analyser, and SEM. The synthesized composite adsorbent is found to have good adsorption capacity for DCF. The experiments related to the process of adsorption were done in batch mode and the significance of various operating parameters affecting the specific uptake of DCF. Maximum adsorption is observed at 3 pH (acidic condition) when the initial concentration of DCF and adsorbent dose was 30 mg/L and 100 mg/L, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm model best describes the process of adsorption with a maximum adsorption capacity of 256.41 mg/g. Experimental results obtained through the studies conducted related to the kinetics displayed that the process followed pseudo-second order model, and intraparticle studies suggested that diffusion through pores controls the rate. Thermodynamic studies suggest that the adsorption of DCF on UiO-66/MWCNT was completely spontaneous with ΔH = -22.089 kJ/mol. The possible mechanism for the adsorptive removal of DCF through UiO-66/MWCNT as found from this study is electrostatic interaction.

In-silico green toxicology approach toward discovering safer ligands for development of safe-by-design metal-organic frameworks. Toxicol Mech Methods 2024:1-12.

Abstract
A vast variety of chemical compounds have been fabricated and commercialized, they not only result in industrial exposure during manufacturing and usage, but also have environmental impacts throughout their whole life cycle. Consequently, attempts to assess the risk of chemicals in terms of toxicology have never ceased. In-silico toxicology, also known as predictive toxicology, has advanced significantly over the last decade as a result of the drawbacks of experimental investigations. In this study, ProTox-III was applied to predict the toxicity of the ligands used for metal-organic framework (MOF) design and synthesis. Initially, 35 ligands, that have been frequently utilized for MOF synthesis and fabrication, were selected. Subsequently, canonical simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) of ligands were extracted from the PUBCHEM database and inserted into the ProTox-III online server. Ultimately, webserver outputs including LD50 and the probability of toxicological endpoints (cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, immunotoxicity, and ecotoxicity) were obtained and organized. According to retrieved LD50 data, the safest ligand was 5-hydroxyisophthalic. In contrast, the most hazardous ligand was 5-chlorobenzimidazole, with an LD50 of 8 mg/kg. Among evaluated endpoints, ecotoxicity was the most active and was detected in several imidazolate ligands. This data can open new horizons in design and development of green MOFs.

Abstract
Based on the dual response of RhB@UiO-67 (1:6) to Cu2+ and Fe3+, a proportional fluorescent probe with (I392/I581) as the output signal was developed to recognize Cu2+ and Fe3+. Developing highly sensitive and selective trace metal ions probes is crucial to human health and ecological sustainability. In this work, a series of ratio fluorescent probes (RhB@UiO-67) were successfully synthesized using a one-pot method to enable fluorescence sensing of Cu2+ and Fe3+ at low concentrations. The proportional fluorescent probe RhB@UiO-67 (1:6) exhibited simultaneous quenching of Cu2+ and Fe3+, which was found to be of interest. Furthermore, the limits of detection (LODs) for Cu2+ and Fe3+ were determined to be 2.76 μM and 0.76 μM, respectively, for RhB@UiO-67 (1:6). These values were significantly superior to those reported for previous sensors, indicating the probe's effectiveness in detecting Cu2+ and Fe3+ in an ethanol medium. Additionally, RhB@UiO-67 (1:6) demonstrated exceptional immunity and reproducibility towards Cu2+ and Fe3+. The observed fluorescence quenching of Cu2+ and Fe3+ was primarily attributed to the mechanisms of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), photoinduced electron transfer (PET), and competitive absorption (CA). This work establishes a valuable foundation for the future study and utilization of Cu2+ and Fe3+ sensing technologies.

Integration of metal organic framework nanoparticles into sodium alginate biopolymer-based three-dimensional membrane capsules for the efficient removal of toxic metal cations from water and real sewage. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131312. [PMID: 38582471 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
Sodium alginate (SA) biopolymer has been recognized as an efficient adsorbent material owing to their unique characteristics, including biodegradability, non-toxic nature, and presence of abundant hydrophilic functional groups. Accordingly, in the current research work, UiO-66-OH and UiO-66-(OH)2 metal organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles (NPs) have been integrated into SA biopolymer-based three-dimensional (3-D) membrane capsules (MCs) via a simple and facile approach to remove toxic metal cations (Cu2+ and Cd2+) from water and real sewage. The newly configured capsules were characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, EDX and XPS analyses techniques. Exceptional sorption properties of the as-developed capsules were ensured by evaluation of the pertinent operational parameters, i.e., contents of MOF-NPs (1-100 wt%), adsorbent dosage (0.001-0.05 g), content time (0-360 h), pH (1-8), initial concentration of metal cations (5-1000 mg/L) and reaction temperature (298.15-333.15 K) on the eradication of Cu2+ and Cd2+ metal cations. It was found that hydrophilic functional groups (-OH and -COOH) have performed an imperative role in the smooth loading of MOF-NPs into 3-D membrane capsules via intra/inter-molecular hydrogen bonding and van der waals potencies. The maximum monolayer uptake capacities (as calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model) of Cd2+ and Cu2+ by 3-D SGMMCs-OH were 940 and 1150 mg/g, respectively, and by 3-D SGMMCs-(OH)2 were 1375 and 1575 mg/g, respectively, under optimum conditions. The as-developed capsules have demonstrated superior selectivity against targeted metal cations under designated pH and maintained >80 % removal efficiency up to six consecutive treatment cycles. Removal mechanisms of metal cations by the 3-D SGMMCs-OH/(OH)2 was proposed, and electrostatic interaction, ion-exchange, inner-sphere coordination bonds/interactions, and aromatic ligands exchange were observed to be the key removal mechanisms. Notably, FTIR and XPS analysis indicated that hydroxyl groups of Zr-OH and BDC-OH/(OH)2 aromatic linkers played vital roles in Cu2+ and Cd2+ adsorption by participating in inner-sphere coordination interactions and aromatic ligands exchange mechanisms. The as-prepared capsules indicated >70 % removal efficiency of Cu2+ from real electroplating wastewater in the manifestation of other competitive metal ions and pollutants under selected experimental conditions. Thus, it was observed that newly configured 3-D SGMMCs-OH/(OH)2 have offered a valuable discernment into the development of MOFs-based water decontamination 3-D capsules for industrial applications.

Abstract
The fundamental interest in actinide chemistry, particularly for the development of thorium-based materials, is experiencing a renaissance owing to the recent and rapidly growing attention to fuel cycle reactors, radiological daughters for nuclear medicine, and efficient nuclear stockpile development. Herein, we uncover fundamental principles of thorium chemistry on the example of Th-based extended structures such as metal-organic frameworks in comparison with the discrete systems and zirconium extended analogs, demonstrating remarkable over two-and-half-year chemical stability of Th-based frameworks as a function of metal node connectivity, amount of defects, and conformational linker rigidity through comprehensive spectroscopic and crystallographic analysis as well as theoretical modeling. Despite exceptional chemical stability, we report the first example of studies focusing on the reactivity of the most chemically stable Th-based frameworks in comparison with the discrete Th-based systems such as metal-organic complexes and a cage, contrasting multicycle recyclability and selectivity (>97%) of the extended structures in comparison with the molecular compounds. Overall, the presented work not only establishes the conceptual foundation for evaluating the capabilities of Th-based materials but also represents a milestone for their multifaceted future and foreshadows their potential to shape the next era of actinide chemistry.

Abstract
Fluorescence array technologies have attracted great interest in the sensing field because of their high sensitivity, low cost, and capability of multitarget detection. However, traditional array sensing relies on multiple independent sensors and thus often requires time-consuming and laborious measurement processes. Herein, we introduce a novel fluorescence array strategy of the array-on-a-metal-organic framework (MOF), which integrates multiple array elements into a single MOF matrix to achieve facile sensing and discrimination of multiple target analytes. As a proof-of-concept system, we constructed a luminescent MOF containing three different emitting channels, including a lanthanide ion (europium/Eu3+, red emission), a fluorescent dye (7-hydroxycoumarin-4-acetic acid/HCAA, blue emission), and the MOF itself (UiO-66-type MOF, blue-violet emission). Five structurally similar nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) were chosen as the targets. All three channels of the array-on-a-MOF displayed rapid and stable fluorescence quenching responses to NACs (response equilibrium achieved within 30 s). Different responses were generated for each channel against each NAC due to the various quenching mechanisms, including photoinduced electron transfer, energy competition, and the inner filter effect. Using linear discriminant analysis, the array-on-a-MOF successfully distinguished the five NACs and their mixtures at varying concentrations and demonstrated good sensitivity to quantify individual NACs (detect limit below the advisory concentration in drinking water). Moreover, the array also showed feasibility in the sensing and discrimination of multiple NACs in real water samples. The proposed "array-on-a-MOF" strategy simplifies multitarget discrimination procedures and holds great promise for various sensing applications.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic alcohol oxidation in acid offers a promising alternative to the kinetically sluggish water oxidation reaction toward low-energy H2 generation. However, electrocatalysts driving active and selective acidic alcohol electrochemical transformation are still scarce. In this work, we demonstrate efficient alcohol-to-aldehyde conversion achieved by reticular chemistry-based modification of the catalyst's immediate environment. Specifically, coating a Bi-based electrocatalyst with a thin layer of metal-organic framework (MOF) substantially improves its performance toward benzyl alcohol electro-oxidation to benzaldehyde in a 0.1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. Detailed analysis reveals that the MOF adlayer influences catalysis by increasing the reactivity of surface hydroxides as well as weakening the catalyst-benzaldehyde binding strength. In turn, low-potential (0.65 V) cathodic H2 evolution was obtained through coupling it with anodic benzyl alcohol electro-oxidation. Consequently, the presented approach could be implemented in a wide range of electrocatalytic oxidation reactions for energy-conversion application.

Abstract
As an emerging material with the potential to combine the high efficiency of homogeneous catalysts and high stability and recyclability of heterogeneous catalysts, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been viewed as one of the candidates to produce catalysts of the next generation. Herein, we heterogenized the highly active mono(phosphine)-Pd complex on surface of UiO-66 MOF, as a catalyst for Suzuki and Heck cross coupling reactions. The successful immobilization of these Pd-monophosphine complexes on MOF surface to form UiO-66-PPh2-Pd was characterized and confirmed via comprehensive set of analytical methods. UiO-66-PPh2-Pd showed high activity and selectivity for both Suzuki and Heck Cross Coupling Reactions. This strategy enabled facile access to mono(phosphine) complexes which are challenging to design and require multistep synthesis in homogeneous systems, paving the way for future MOF catalysts applications by similar systems.

Abstract
The need to effectively remove toxic organic dyes from aquatic systems has become an increasingly critical issue in the recent years. In pursuit of this objective, polydopamine (PDA)-binary ZIF-8/UiO-66 (MOFs) was synthesized and incorporated into cellulose acetate (CA), producing ZIF-8/UiO-66/PDA@CA composite nanofibers under meticulously optimized conditions. The potential of fabricated nanofibers to remove cationic methylene blue (MB) dye was investigated. Various analysis tools including FTIR, XRD, SEM, zeta potential, BET, tensile strength testing, and XPS were employed. Results revealed a substantial leap in tensile strength, with ZIF-8/UiO-66/PDA@CA registering an impressive 2.8 MPa, as a marked improvement over the neat CA nanofibers (1.1 MPa). ZIF-8/UiO-66/PDA@CA nanofibers exhibit an outstanding adsorption capacity of 82 mg/g, notably outperforming the 22.4 mg/g capacity of neat CA nanofibers. In binary dye systems, these nanofibers exhibit a striking maximum adsorption capacity of 108 mg/g, establishing their eminence in addressing the complexities of wastewater treatment. Furthermore, the adsorption data fitted to the Langmuir isotherm, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The fabricated nanofiber demonstrates good reproducibility and durability, consistently upholding its performance over five cycles. This suite of remarkable attributes collectively underscores its potential as a robust, durable, and highly promising solution for the effective and efficient removal of pernicious MB dye, in the context of both water quality improvement and environmental preservation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a relatively new family of materials that attract lots of attention thanks to their unique features such as hierarchical porosity, active metal centers, versatility of linkers/metal nodes, and large surface area. Among the extended list of MOFs, Zr-based-MOFs demonstrate comparably superior chemical and thermal stabilities, making them ideal candidates for energy and environmental applications. As a Zr-MOF, NU-1000 is first synthesized at Northwestern University. A comprehensive review of various approaches to the synthesis of NU-1000 MOFs for obtaining unique surface properties (e.g., diverse surface morphologies, large surface area, and particular pore size distribution) and their applications in the catalysis (electro-, and photo-catalysis), CO2 reduction, batteries, hydrogen storage, gas storage/separation, and other environmental fields are presented. The review further outlines the current challenges in the development of NU-1000 MOFs and their derivatives in practical applications, revealing areas for future investigation.

Abstract
N-Nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA) is a class of nitrogenous disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) with high toxicity. Although NDPA present in water bodies is at relatively low concentrations, the potential risk is high due to its high toxicity and bioaccumulation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a new type of porous material with remarkable functionality, have shown great performance in a wide variety of applications in adsorption. This is the first study investigating the adsorption of MOFs on NDPA. Herein, UiO-66 with -NH2 and imidazolium functional groups were synthesized by modifying UiO-66 after amination. Adsorption kinetics and isotherm models were used to compare the adsorption properties of the two materials for low-concentration NDPA in water. The results showed that the behavior of all the adsorbents was consistent with the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order model and that the adsorption was homogeneous chemisorption. The structures of the nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, zeta potential, XRD, SEM and BET measurements. Based on the characteristics, four adsorption mechanisms, namely electron conjugation, coordination reaction, anion-π interaction, and van der Waals forces, were simultaneously involved in the adsorption. The influencing factor experiment revealed that the adsorption of UiO-66-NH2 and (I-)Meim-UiO-66 involved hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, respectively.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are a subclass of porous framework materials that have been used for a wide variety of applications in sensing, catalysis, and remediation. Among these myriad applications is their remarkable ability to capture substances in a variety of environments ranging from benign to extreme. Among the most common and problematic substances found throughout the world's oceans and water supplies is [UO2]2+, a common mobile ion of uranium, which is found both naturally and as a result of anthropogenic activities, leading to problematic environmental contamination. While some MOFs possess high capability for the uptake of [UO2]2+, many more of the thousands of MOFs and their modifications that have been produced over the years have yet to be studied for their ability to uptake [UO2]2+. However, studying the thousands of MOFs and their modifications presents an incredibly difficult task. As such, a way to narrow down the numbers seems imperative. Herein, we evaluate the binding behaviors as well as identify the specific binding sites of [UO2]2+ incorporated into six different Zr MOFs to elucidate specific features that improve [UO2]2+ uptake. In doing so, we also present a method for the determination and verification of these binding sites by Anomalous wide-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This research not only presents a way for future research into the uptake of [UO2]2+ into MOFs to be conducted but also a means to evaluate MOFs more generally for the uptake of other compounds to be applied for environmental remediation and improvement of ecosystems globally.

Abstract
Water-stable metal-organic frameworks based on UIO-66@NH2 were synthesized to transport Letrozole into breast cancer cells. The UIO-66@NH2 nanoparticles had a spherical shape and triangular base pyramid morphology, with a size range of 100-200 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the efficient adsorption of Letrozole on UIO-66@NH2. The drug release profile showed a gradual, pH-dependent release of Letrozole from the nanoparticles, with a significant increase in acidic environments, indicating the adaptable release potential of UIO-66@NH2@Let in the breast cancer microenvironment. The size and entrapment efficiency were more stable at 4 °C than at 25 °C. To evaluate the cytotoxic effects of UIO-66@NH2@Let, MTT assay, gene expression analysis, flow cytometry, reactive oxygen species generation, migration assay, and DAPI staining were performed. Moreover, according to IC50 results, the incorporation of Letrozole into UIO-66@NH2 significantly improved its anticancer activity. The results also showed that the developed formulations induced apoptosis through both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways and inhibited cancer progression. The efficacy of the formulations in inducing apoptosis was validated by DAPI staining microscopy and flow cytometry analysis. Therefore, the Letrozole-loaded UIO-66@NH2 MOFs developed in this study can be considered as a unique and sophisticated anticancer delivery nanosystem with promising in vitro anticancer properties.

Just Soaping Them: The Simplest Method for Converting Metal Organic Frameworks into Superhydrophobic Materials. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:12672-12685. [PMID: 38421719 PMCID: PMC11191008 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c19536] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
The incorporation of superhydrophobic properties into metal organic framework (MOF) materials is highly desirable to enhance their hydrolytic stability, gas capture selectivity in the presence of humidity and efficiency in oil-water separations, among others. The existing strategies for inducing superhydrophobicity into MOFs have several weaknesses, such as increased cost, utilization of toxic reagents and solvents, applicability for limited MOFs, etc. Here, we report the simplest, most eco-friendly, and cost-effective process to impart superhydrophobicity to MOFs, involving a rapid (90 min) treatment of MOF materials with solutions of sodium oleate, a main component of soap. The method can be applied to both hydrolytically stable and unstable MOFs, with the porosity of modified MOFs approaching, in most cases, that of the pristine materials. Interestingly, this approach was used to isolate superhydrophobic magnetic MOF composites, and one of these materials formed stable liquid marbles, whose motion could be easily guided using an external magnetic field. We also successfully fabricated superhydrophobic MOF-coated cotton fabric and fiber composites. These composites exhibited exceptional oil sorption properties achieving rapid removal of floating crude oil from water, as well as efficient purification of oil-in-water emulsions. They are also regenerable and reusable for multiple sorption processes. Overall, the results described here pave the way for an unprecedented expansion of the family of MOF-based superhydrophobic materials, as virtually any MOF could be converted into a superhydrophobic compound by applying the new synthetic approach.

Abstract
The intricate tumor microenvironment (TME) always brings about unsatisfactory therapeutic effects for treatments, although nanomedicines have been demonstrated to be highly beneficial for synergistic therapies to avoid the side effects caused by the complexity and heterogeneity of cancer. Developing nanotheranostics with the functionalities of both synergistic therapies and TME regulation is a good strategy but is still in its infancy. Herein, an "all-in-one" nanoplatform for integrated diagnosis and treatment, namely, Carrier@ICG@DOX@FA (CIDF), is constructed. Benefiting from the bimetallic coordination of Eu3+-HTHA (4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(9-hexylcarbazol-3-yl)-1,3-butanedione) and Fe3+ with the ligands in UiO-67, CIDF can simultaneously achieve two-photon fluorescence imaging, fluorescent lifetime imaging in deep tumors, and regulation of TME. Owing to its porosity, CIDF can encapsulate indocyanine green as photosensitizers and doxorubicin as chemotherapeutic agent, further realizing light-controlled drug release. Moreover, CIDF exhibited good biocompatibility and tumor targeting by coating with folic-acid-modified polymers. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate the excellent therapeutic efficacy of CIDF through dual-modal-imaging-guided synergistic photothermal-, photodynamic-, and chemotherapy. CIDF provides a new paradigm for the construction of TME-regulated synergistic nanotheranostics and realizes the complete elimination of tumors without recurrence.

Abstract
Composite aerogels, formed by the combination of nanoscale polymers and highly efficient adsorbents, offer the potential to deploy adsorbent distinct separation properties into a processable matrix. This paper presents a method for the fabrication of low energy bio-aerogels with high ductility, excellent wet strength and favorable heat resistance, based on cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) bound by calcium carbonate particles (CaCO3) via a simple process of ice induction, cross-linking during freezing and freeze-drying. Due to induced defects, two-dimensional metal-organic layers (MOLs) were rich in mesoporous structure and embedded in the aerogel (AGCa-MOL), which exhibited a powerful adsorption capacity. AGCa-MOL could take full advantage of their hierarchical pores and available surface area to obtain high adsorption capacity (0.694-5.470 μmol/g) and rapid adsorption kinetics (5 min) for 14 heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs). Moreover, the CaCO3 particles and MOLs gave the AGCa-MOL excellent thermal stability, so that it could maintain excellent adsorption capacity at a high temperature (100 °C) and be applied as an adsorbent to remove HAAs in the boiling marinade. The intrinsic potential of composite aerogels was revealed due to the synergistic properties of the various components in the composite aerogel.

Abstract
Enzymes are natural catalysts for a wide range of metabolic chemical transformations, including selective hydrolysis, oxidation, and phosphorylation. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy for the encapsulation of enzymes within a highly stable zirconium-based metal-organic framework. UiO-66-F4 was synthesized under mild conditions using an enzyme-compatible amino acid modulator, serine, at a modest temperature in an aqueous solution. Enzyme@UiO-66-F4 biocomposites were then formed by an in situ encapsulation route in which UiO-66-F4 grows around the enzymes and, consequently, provides protection for the enzymes. A range of enzymes, namely, lysozyme, horseradish peroxidase, and amano lipase, were successfully encapsulated within UiO-66-F4. We further demonstrate that the resulting biocomposites are stable under conditions that could denature many enzymes. Horseradish peroxidase encapsulated within UiO-66-F4 maintained its biological activity even after being treated with the proteolytic enzyme pepsin and heated at 60 °C. This strategy expands the toolbox of potential metal-organic frameworks with different topologies or functionalities that can be used as enzyme encapsulation hosts. We also demonstrate that this versatile process of in situ encapsulation of enzymes under mild conditions (i.e., submerged in water and at a modest temperature) can be generalized to encapsulate enzymes of various sizes within UiO-66-F4 while protecting them from harsh conditions (i.e., high temperatures, contact with denaturants or organic solvents).

Abstract
Zirconium metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) are potential candidates for decontamination of water resources from harmful pollutants due to their modulable porosity and chemical stability in aqueous solutions. Linker functionalization is an approach for tuning the host-guest chemistry of Zr-MOFs and extends their applications in environmental monitoring. In this work, the structure of UiO-66(Zr) (formulated Zr6(OH)4O4(BDC)6, BDC2- = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) was functionalized with dihydrotetrazine group via postsynthesis linker exchange (PSLE) method. The functionalized framework, UiO-66(Zr)-DHTZ, was applied for the removal of arsenate ions from aqueous solutions. The results show that UiO-66(Zr)-DHTZ can adsorb 583 mg g-1 of As(V) at pH = 7 after 2 h, which is significantly higher than that of the UiO-66(Zr). According to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), the removal mechanism is based on possible hydrogen bindings between free -C-NH and -C═N- sites of dihydrotetrazine function with -O- and -OH sites of As(V) species. Removal tests in real samples show that UiO-66(Zr)-DHTZ still has a high capacity (220 mg g-1) to As(V) ions in complex matrixes and also can decrease the concentration of As(V) below the detection limit (0.05 ppm) of the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) method. Since the dihydrotetrazine-decorated UiO-66(Zr)-DHTZ reaches one the highest adsorption capacities to As(V) species, it can be considered a potential candidate for water treatment in real-life applications.

Abstract
Chemically robust, functional porous materials are imperative for designing novel membranes for chemical separation and heterogeneous catalysts. Among the array of potential materials, zirconium (Zr)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered considerable attention, and have been investigated for applications related to gas separation and storage, and catalysis. However, a significant challenge with Zr-MOFs lies in their processibility, particularly in achieving homogenous thin films and controlling functional anisotropy. The recent developments in MOF thin film fabrication methodologies do not yield a solution to achieve mild reaction condition growth of Zr-MOF thin films with epitaxial MOF-on-MOF geometry (i.e. functional anisotropy). In the current work, we have devised a straightforward methodology under room temperature conditions, which enables epitaxial, oriented MOF-on-MOF thin film growth. This achievement is accomplished through a stepwise self-assembly approach involving Zr nodes and linkers on a functionalized substrate. This de novo developed strategy of functionality design is demonstrated for UiO-66 (University of Oslo) type Zr-MOFs. We have demonstrated the precise placement of chemical functionalities within the thin film structure, allowing for controlled chemical diffusion and regulation of diffusion selectivity.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials known for their large surface areas. Thus, over the past few decades the development of MOFs and their applications has been a major topic of interest throughout the scientific community. However, many current conventional syntheses of MOFs are lengthy solvothermal processes carried out at elevated temperatures. Herein, we developed a rapid light-induced synthesis of MOFs by harnessing the plasmonic photothermal abilities of bipyramidal gold nanoparticles (AuBPs). The generality of the photo-induced method was demonstrated by synthesizing four different MOFs utilizing three different wavelengths (520 nm, 660 nm and 850 nm). Furthermore, by regulating light exposure, AuBPs could be embedded in the MOF or maintained in the supernatant. Notably, the AuBPs-embedded MOF (AuBP@UIO-66) retained its plasmonic properties along with the extraordinary surface area typical to MOFs. The photothermal AuBP@UIO-66 demonstrated a significant light-induced heating response that was utilized for ultrafast desorption and MOF activation.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 463:132898. [PMID: 37939561 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
A novel ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe (Rh6G@UIO-66-NH2) was fabricated for efficient nitrite (NO2-) detection in the present study. When NO2- was introduced, it interacted with the amino groups on the surface of Rh6G@UIO-66-NH2, forming diazonium salts that led to the quenching of blue fluorescence. With this strategy, a good linear relationship between NO2- concentration and the fluorescent intensity ratio of the nanoprobe in the range of 1-100 μM was established, with a detection limit of 0.021 μM. This dual-readout nanosensor was applied to analyze the concentration of NO2- in real meat samples, achieving satisfactory recovery rates of 94.72-104.52%, highlighting the practical potential of this method. Furthermore, a portable Gel/Rh6G@UIO-66-NH2 hydrogel test kit was constructed for on-spot dual-mode detection of NO2-. This kit allows for convenient colorimetric analysis and fluorometric detection when used in conjunction with a smartphone. All the photos taken with the portable kit was converted into digital information using ImageJ software. It provides colorimetric and fluorescent visual detection of NO2- over a range of 0.1-1.5 mM, achieving a direct quantitative tool for NO2- identification. This methodology presents a promising strategy for NO2- detection and expands the application prospects for on-spot monitoring of food safety assessment.

Abstract
In present work, a method for enrichment, purification, and content determination of oleanolic acid (OA) in medicinal plants was established based on on-line solid phase extraction (SPE). A metal organic frameworks-porous organic polymer monolith (MOF-POPM) was prepared with functionalized UiO-66-(OH)2 as monomer and was used as SPE column for online enrichment and purification of OA. The ratio of adsorbent, enriching and eluting solvent, mobile phase pH, and flow rate had been systematically investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of OA was 0.59-2500 μg/mL with r = 0.9996. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.18 μg/mL and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.59 μg/mL. The intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) and inter-day RSDs of retention time and peak area were less than 0.3% and 1.3%, respectively. The average recoveries of OA in medicinal plants samples ranged from 87.7 to 104.6%. The results demonstrated that the online system was reliable and accurate for enrichment, purification, and content determination of OA in medicinal plants.

Abstract
The new nanosphere Ag2O@UiO-66 thin-film was synthesized on a stainless steel mesh surface via an electrophoretic deposition method, and is used as an effective and low-cost photocatalyst using visible light. The synthesized nanocomposite was used to perform photo-reduction of Cr(vi) ions under white light irradiation. The best removal rate (72% after 15 minutes) was obtained by the film with 0.034 grams of deposited composite having relative percentages of Ag2O : UiO-66 of 70 : 30. The interesting obtained results confirm that the p-n heterojunction of the composite is the main cause of the desired charge separation and the photoreduction speed increase. In the following, the resulting compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy diffraction X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) method. Scavenging studies performed in the presence of familiar scavengers confirmed that superoxide radicals (˙O2-) and dissolved oxygen gas have a significant role in the photocatalytic reduction process.

Abstract
The ultrasound-assisted preparation of UiO-66 was carried out at T = 80-220 °C, and the catalytic performances were evaluated in methanol conversion. Also, physicochemical properties were assessed by XRD, SEM, PSD, FTIR, N2 adsorption-desorption, TG-DTG, and NH3-TPD analysis. The characterization proved that increasing the synthesis temperature positively affected the crystallinity, specific surface area, thermal stability, and acidity of the catalysts. Besides, the catalysts' performance was investigated in the methanol conversion reaction (T = 350-450 °C, P = 1 atm, and WHSV = 5 h-1), leading to the DME (Dimethyl Ether) production. Rising reaction temperature increased the methanol conversion and DME yield. The synthesized sample at 220 °C had the best properties and performance with conversion and yield of about 38% and 51%, respectively. The stability test for the UiO-66-220 (University of Oslo 66) catalyst was performed at 450 °C for 12 h, and the activity remained stable for about 5 h. Furthermore, the used catalyst was characterized via XRD and TG analysis.

Abstract
The relentless growth of metal-organic framework (MOF) chemistry is paralleled by the persistent urge to control the MOFs physical and chemical properties. While this control is mostly achieved by solvothermal syntheses, room temperature procedures stand out as more convenient and sustainable pathways for the production of MOF materials. Herein, a novel approach to control the crystal size and defect numbers of a dihydroxy-functionalized zirconium-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66(OH)2) at room temperature is reported. Through a reaction-diffusion method in a 1D system, zirconium salt was diffused into an agar gel matrix containing the organic linker to form nanocrystals of UiO-66(OH)2 with tailored structural features that include crystal size distribution, surface area, and defect number. By variation of the synthesis parameters of the system, hierarchical MOF nanocrystals with an average size ranging from 30 nm up to 270 nm and surface areas between 201 and 500 m2 g-1 were obtained in a one-pot synthetic route. To stress the importance of crystal size, morphology, and structural defects on the adsorption properties of UiO-66(OH)2, the adsorption capacity of the MOF toward methylene blue dye was tested with the largest and most defected crystals achieving the best performance of 202 mg/g. The distinctive structural characteristics including the hierarchical micromesoporous frameworks, the nanosized particles, and the highly defective crystals obtained by our synthesis procedure are deemed challenging through the conventional synthesis methods. This work paves the way for engineering MOF crystals with tunable physical and chemical properties, using a green synthesis procedure, for their advantageous use in many desirable applications.

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)@metal-organic framework (MOF) field-effect transistor (FET) sensors generate a signal through analytes restricting ion diffusion around the SWCNT surface. Four composites made up of SWCNTs and UiO-66, UiO-66-NH2, UiO-67, and UiO-67-CH3 were synthesized to explore the detection of norfentanyl (NF) using SWCNT@MOF FET sensors with different pore sizes. Liquid-gated FET devices of SWCNT@UiO-67 showed the highest sensing response toward NF, whereas SWCNT@UiO-66 and SWCNT@UiO-66-NH2 devices showed no sensitivity improvement compared to bare SWCNT. Comparing SWCNT@UiO-67 and SWCNT@UiO-67-CH3 indicated that the sensing response is modulated by not only the size-matching between NF and MOF channel but also NF diffusion within the MOF channel. Additionally, other drug metabolites, including norhydrocodone (NH), benzoylecgonine (BZ), and normorphine (NM) were tested with the SWCNT@UiO-67 sensor. The sensor was not responding toward NH and or BZ but a similar sensing result toward NM because NM has a similar size to NF. The SWCNT@MOF FET sensor can avoid interference from bigger molecules but sensor arrays with different pore sizes and chemistries are needed to improve the specificity.

Abstract
Although Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit robust chemical and physical stability in the presence of moisture and acidic conditions, their susceptibility to nucleophilic attacks from bases poses a critical challenge to their overall stability. Herein, we systematically investigate the stability of Zr-based UiO-66 (UiO = University of Oslo) MOFs in basic solutions. The impact of 11 standard bases, including inorganic salts and organic bases, on the stability of these MOFs is examined. The destruction of the framework is confirmed through powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns, and the monitored dissolution of ligands from the framework is assessed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Our key findings reveal a direct correlation between the strength and concentration of the base and the destruction of the MOFs. The summarized data provide valuable insights that can guide the practical application of Zr-based UiO-66 MOFs under basic conditions, offering essential information for their optimal utilization in various settings.

Abstract
A DNOC electrochemical sensor has been developed by using a composite of Zr-UiO-66 and FMWCNTs on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and using the differential pulse voltammetry technique. The synthesized materials were physico-chemically characterized by BET, PXRD, FTIR, TGA, EDX, and FESEM. Cyclic voltammetry showed that DNOC has three oxidation peaks at 0.03 V (RSD: 0.23%), 0.42 V (RSD: 0.21%), and 1.32 V (RSD: 0.32%) and three reduction peaks at - 0.20 V (RSD: 0.15%), - 0.82 V (RSD: 0.26%), and - 1.14 V (RSD: 0.19%) which follow a diffusion-controlled mechanism. Different parameters were optimized using differential pulse voltammetry and good linear ranges were found for the simultaneous detection of the three reduction peaks. For a specific concentration range of 0.1-50 μM, a limit of detection of 0.119 μM based on 3Sb/m was obtained. The interfering effects of five non-phenolic pesticides and five heavy metals were evaluated to highlight the selectivity of the developed sensor. It is the first report of an electrochemical DNOC sensor in which all three oxidation peaks are prominently visible. Ethion and chloropyriphos were found to inhibit the redox process of DNOC on the developed sensor platform Zr-UiO-66/FMWCNT/GCE. The sensor was successfully applied to DNOC determination in spiked potato samples and the results showed a standard deviation of less than 3%. The proposed method is expected to provide a novel platform for the quantitative determination of DNOC pesticides in vegetables.

Abstract
In this research, the amoxicillin (AMX) removal was studied on a prepared nanosorbent from MOFs. The aim of this research work is to prepare nanohybrids based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an efficient nanosorbent for the absorption of amoxicillin drug. In this study, UIO-66 nanoparticles (UIO-66 NPs) were prepared from Zirconium (Zr) metal and 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid (BDC). Then UIO-66@Cr-MIL-101 nanohybrid was synthesized by hydrothermal method. Structural and physicochemical properties of nanohybrid UIO-66@Cr-MIL-101 were characterized by different analyses such as X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), therapeutic goods administration (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The effect of four fundamental variables effective on adsorption was optimized by the central composite response surface methodology (CCRSM). This parameters including loading percentage of Cr-MIL-101 NPs (10-30%), initial concentration of AMX (20-140 mg L-1), contact time (20-60 min), and pH (20-10). The removal percentage (Re%) of AMX equal to 99.50% was obtained under the following conditions: The loading value of 20% Wt%, the initial concentration of AMX 80 mg L-1, contact time 20 min, and pH = 6. Also, the experimental data were investigated with famous kinetic models and isotherms, and it was observed that AMX removal by nanohybrid is correlated with the PSO kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm.

Abstract
Luminescent materials responsive to external stimuli have captivated great attention owing to their potential implementation in noninvasive photonic sensors. Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs), a type of porous crystalline material, have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for these applications. Moreover, LMOFs constructed with organic linkers that undergo excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer (ESIPT) reactions are particularly relevant since changes in the surrounding environment induce modifications in their emission properties. Herein, an ESIPT-based LMOF, UiO-66-(OH)2, has been synthesized, spectroscopically and photodynamically characterized, and tested for detecting multiple external stimuli. First, the spectroscopic and photodynamic characterization of the organic linker (2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHT)) and the UiO-66-(OH)2 MOF demonstrates that the emission properties are mainly governed by the enol → keto tautomerization, occurring in the organic linker via the ESIPT reaction. Afterward, the UiO-66-(OH)2 MOF proves for the first time to be a promising candidate to detect vapors of acid (HCl) and base (Et3N) toxic chemicals, changes in the mechanical compression (exercised pressure), and changes in the temperature. These results shed light on the potential of ESIPT-based LMOFs to be implemented in the development of advanced optical materials and luminescent sensors.

Abstract
The forthcoming generation of materials, including artificial muscles, recyclable and healable systems, photochromic heterogeneous catalysts, or tailorable supercapacitors, relies on the fundamental concept of rapid switching between two or more discrete forms in the solid state. Herein, we report a breakthrough in the "speed limit" of photochromic molecules on the example of sterically-demanding spiropyran derivatives through their integration within solvent-free confined space, allowing for engineering of the photoresponsive moiety environment and tailoring their photoisomerization rates. The presented conceptual approach realized through construction of the spiropyran environment results in ~1000 times switching enhancement even in the solid state compared to its behavior in solution, setting a record in the field of photochromic compounds. Moreover, integration of two distinct photochromic moieties in the same framework provided access to a dynamic range of rates as well as complementary switching in the material's optical profile, uncovering a previously inaccessible pathway for interstate rapid photoisomerization.

Abstract
This study presents a novel approach to decontaminate ferrocyanide-contaminated wastewater. The work effectively demonstrates the use of bimetallic Mo/Zr-UiO-66 as a super-adsorbent for rapid sequestration of Prussian blue, a frequently found iron complex in cyanide-contaminated soils/groundwater. The exceptional performance of Mo/Zr-UiO-66 is attributed to the insertion of secondary metallic sites, which deliver synergistic effects, benefiting the inherent qualities of the framework. Moreover, to extend the industrial applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in real-world scenarios, an approach is delivered to structure the nanocrystalline powders into MOF-based macrostructures. The work demonstrates an interfacial process to develop continuous MOF nanostructures on ordinary laboratory-grade filter papers. The novelty of the work lies in the development of robust free-standing filtration materials to purify PB dye-contaminated water. Additionally, the work embraces a circular economy concept to address problems related to resource scarcity, excessive waste production, and maintenance of economic benefits. Consequently, the PB dye-loaded adsorbent waste is re-employed for the adsorption of heavy metals (Pb2+ and Cd2+ ). Simultaneously, the study aims to address the problems related to the real-time handling of powdered adsorbents, and the generation of ecologically harmful secondary waste, thereby, progressing toward a more sustainable system.

Abstract
Critical limb ischemia, the final course of peripheral artery disease, is characterized by an insufficient supply of blood flow and excessive oxidative stress. H2 S molecular therapy possesses huge potential for accelerating revascularization and scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, it is found that BMP6 is the most significantly up-expressed secreted protein-related gene in HUVECs treated with GYY4137, a H2 S donor, based on the transcriptome analysis. Herein, a UIO-66-NH2 @GYY4137@BMP6 co-delivery nanoplatform to strengthen the therapeutic effects of limb ischemia is developed. The established UIO-66-NH2 @GYY4137@BMP6 nanoplatform exerts its proangiogenic and anti-oxidation functions by regulating key pathways. The underlying molecular mechanisms of UIO-66-NH2 @GYY4137@BMP6 dual-loading system lie in the upregulation of phosphorylated YAP/TAZ and Jun to promote HUVECs proliferation and downregulation of phosphorylated p53/p21 to scavenge excessive ROS. Meanwhile, laser-doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI), injury severity evaluation, and histological analysis confirm the excellent therapeutic effects of UIO-66-NH2 @GYY4137@BMP6 in vivo. This work may shed light on the treatment of critical limb ischemia by regulating YAP, Jun, and p53 signaling pathways based on gas-protein synergistic therapy.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous, crystalline materials constructed from organic linkers and inorganic nodes that have attracted widespread interest due to their permanent porosity and highly modular structures. However, the large volumes of organic solvents and additives, long reaction times, and specialized equipment typically required to synthesize MOFs hinder their widespread adoption in both academia and industry. Recently, our lab has developed several user-friendly methods for the gram-scale (1-100 g) preparation of MOFs. Herein, we summarize our progress in the development of high-concentration solvothermal, mechanochemical, and ionothermal syntheses of MOFs, as well as in minimizing the amount of modulators required to prepare highly crystalline Zr-MOFs. To begin, we detail our work elucidating key features of acid modulation in Zr-MOFs to improve upon current dilute solvothermal syntheses. Choosing an optimal modulator maximizes the crystallinity and porosity of Zr-MOFs while minimizing the quantity of modulator needed, reducing the waste associated with MOF synthesis. By evaluating a range of modulators, we identify the pKa, size, and structural similarity of the modulator to the linker as controlling factors in modulating ability. In the following section, we describe two high-concentration solvothermal methods for the synthesis of Zr-MOFs and demonstrate their generality among a range of frameworks. We also target the M2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd; dobdc4- = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) family of MOFs for high-concentration synthesis and introduce a two-step preparation of several variants that proceeds through a novel kinetic phase. The high-concentration methods we discuss produce MOFs on multi-gram scale with comparable properties to those prepared under traditional dilute solvothermal conditions. Next, to further curtail solvent waste and accelerate reaction times, we discuss the mechanochemical preparation of M2(dobdc) MOFs utilizing liquid amine additives in a planetary ball mill, which we also apply to the synthesis of two related salicylate frameworks. These samples exhibit comparable porosities to traditional dilute solvothermal samples but can be synthesized in just minutes, as opposed to days, and require under 1 mL of liquid additive to prepare ~0.5 g of material. In the following section, we discuss our efforts to avoid specialized equipment and eliminate solvent use entirely by employing ionothermal conditions to prepare a variety of azolate- and salicylate-based MOFs. Simply combining metal chloride (hydrate) salts with organic linkers at temperatures above the melting points of the salts affords high-quality framework materials. Further, ionothermal conditions enable the syntheses of two new Fe(III) M2(dobdc) derivatives that cannot be synthesized under normal solvothermal conditions. Last, as a demonstrative example, we discuss our efforts to synthesize 100 g of high-quality Mg2(dobdc) in a single batch using a high-concentration (1.0 M) hydrothermal synthesis. Our Account will be of significant interest to researchers aiming to prepare gram-scale quantities of MOFs for further study.

Abstract
The computational analysis of drug release from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), specifically UiO-66, is the primary focus of this research. MOFs are recognized as nanocarriers due to their crystalline structure, porosity, and potential for added functionalities. The research examines the release patterns of three drugs: temozolomide, alendronate, and 5-fluorouracil, assessing various factors such as the drugs' distance from the UiO-66 centers, the interaction of drug functional groups with Zr metal ions, and the drug density throughout the nanocarrier. Findings reveal that 5-fluorouracil is located furthest from the UiO-66 center and exhibits the highest positive energy compared to the other drugs. Alendronate's density is observed to shift to the carrier surface, while 5-fluorouracil's density significantly decreases within the system. The drug density diminishes as the distance from the UiO-66 center of mass increases, suggesting a stronger positive interaction between the drugs and the nanocarrier. Moreover, Monte Carlo calculations were employed to load drugs onto the UiO-66 surface, leading to a substantial release of 5-fluorouracil from UiO-66. Quantum and Monte Carlo adsorption localization calculations were also conducted to gather data on the compounds' energy and geometry. This research underscores the potential of MOFs as nanocarriers for drug delivery and highlights the crucial role of temperature in regulating drug release from UiO-66. It provides insights into the complex dynamics of drug release and the factors influencing it, thereby emphasizing the promise of UiO-66 as a viable candidate for drug delivery. This work contributes to our understanding of UiO-66's role and sets the stage for improved performance optimization in the cancer treatment.

Abstract
Postsynthetic modification (PSM) of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enables incorporation of diverse functionalities in pores for chemical separations, drug delivery, and heterogeneous catalysis. However, the effect of PSM on molecular transport, which is essential for most applications of MOFs, has been rarely studied. In this paper, we used perfluoroalkane-functionalized Zr-MOF NU-1008 as a platform to systematically interrogate transport processes and mechanisms in solvated pores. We anchored perfluoroalkanes onto NU-1008 nodes by solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI-n, with n = 3, 5, 7, and 9 denoting the number of fluorinated carbons). Transport of a luminescent molecule, BODIPY, through individual crystallites of four versions of methanol-filled SALI-n was monitored by confocal fluorescence microscopy as a function of time and location. In comparison with the parent NU-1008, the diffusivity of the probe molecules within SALI-n declined by 2- to 7-fold depending on chain length and loading, presumably due to the reduction in pore diameter or adsorptive interactions with perfluoroalkyl chains. Atomistic simulations were performed to uncover the microscopic behavior of the BODIPY diffusion in SALI-n. The perfluoroalkyl chains are observed to stay close to the pore walls, instead of extending toward the pore center. BODIPY molecules, which preferably interact with linkers, were pushed to the interior of the channels as the chain length increased, resulting in solvated diffusion and minor differences in the short-time mobility of BODIPY in SALI-n. This suggested that the observed decline of transport diffusivity in SALI-n mainly stemmed from the reduction in the pore size when these flexible chains are present. We anticipate that this proof of concept will assist in understanding how pore functionalization can physically and chemically affect mass transport in MOFs and will be useful in further guiding the design of PSM to realize the optimal performance of MOFs for various applications.

Abstract
Removal of dyes from various industrial effluents is a great challenge, and cost-effective methods and materials with high dye removal efficacy are in high demand. Adsorption, nanofiltration and photocatalytic degradation are three major techniques that have been investigated for dye removal. PIMs are promising materials for use in these three methods based on their attributes, such as microporosity, solution processibility, high chemical stability and tunability through facile synthesis and easy postmodification. Although the number of reports on dye removal employing PIMs are limited, some of the materials have been shown to exhibit good dye separation properties, which are comparable to those of the state-of-the-art material activated carbon. In this highlight, we make an account of progress in PIMs and PIM-based composite materials in different dye removal processes over the last decade. Furthermore, we discuss the existing challenges of PIM-based materials and aim to analyze the key parameters for improving their dye removal properties.

Farrag M. Covalently anchoring silver nanoclusters Ag 44 on modified UiO-66-NH 2 with Bi 2S 3 nanorods and MoS 2 nanoparticles for exceptional solar wastewater treatment activity. Sci Rep 2023; 13:17634. [PMID: 37848533 PMCID: PMC10582164 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44819-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023] Open
Abstract
For the first time, covalently anchoring size selected silver nanoclusters [Ag44(MNBA)30] on the Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH2 and MoS2@UiO-66-NH2 heterojunctions were constructed as novel photocatalysts for photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The anchoring of Ag44 on MoS2@UiO-66-NH2 and Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH2 heterojunctions extended the light absorption of UiO-66-NH2 to the visible region and improved the transfer and separation of photogenerated charge carriers through the heterojunctions with a unique band gap structure. The UV-Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopic analysis confirmed that the optical absorption properties of the UiO-66-NH2 were shifted from the UV region at 379 nm to the visible region at ~ 705 nm after its doping with Bi2S3 nanorods and Ag44 nanoclusters (Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44). The prepared Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44 and MoS2@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44 photocatalysts exhibited exceptional photocatalytic activity for visible light degradation of MB dye. The photocatalysts exhibited complete decolorization of the MB solution (50 ppm) within 90 and 120 min stirring under visible light irradiation, respectively. The supper photocatalytic performance and recycling efficiency of the prepared photocatalysts attributed to the covalent anchoring of the ultra-small silver clusters (Ag44) on the heterojunctions surface. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis confirmed the charge of the silver clusters is zero. The disappearance of the N-H bending vibration peak of primary amines in the FTIR analysis of Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44 confirmed the covalent anchoring of the protected silver nanoclusters on the UiO-66-NH2 surface via the condensation reaction. The Bi2S3@UiO-66-NH-S-Ag44 catalyst exhibited excellent recyclability efficiency more than five cycles without significant loss in activity, indicating their good potential for industrial applications. The texture properties, crystallinity, phase composition, particle size, and structural morphology of the prepared photocatalysts were investigated using adsorption-desorption N2 isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), HR-TEM, and FE-SEM, respectively.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14893. [PMID: 37834340 PMCID: PMC10573255 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241914893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The nature of organic linker substituents plays an important role in gas sorption and separation as well as in catalytic applications of metal-organic frameworks. Zirconium-based UiO-66 is one of the most tunable members of this class of materials. However, the prediction of its properties is still not a fully solved problem. Here, the infrared spectroscopic measurements using highly sensitive CO probe molecules, combined with DFT calculations, are used in order to characterize the performance of different acidic sites caused by the presence of different organic linker substituents. The proposed model allowed differentiation between various active sites over the UiO-66 and clarification of their behavior. The experimental IR bands related to CO adsorption can be unambiguously assigned to one type of site or another. The previously undescribed highly red-shifted band is attributed to CO adsorbed on coordinatively unsaturated zirconium sites through an O atom. The results confirm the lower and higher Lewis's acidity of coordinatively unsaturated Zr sites on linker defects in the UiO-66 structure when electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups are, respectively, included in a terephthalate moiety, whilst the Brønsted acidity of zirconium oxo-cluster remains almost unchanged.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 230:113517.

Abstract
In this study, an electrochemical immunosensor was constructed to detect the cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) in human serum. CYFRA 21-1 is the most sensitive tumor marker of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), its content in normal human serum should be less than 3.3 ng/mL. When lung cancer cells dissolve or die, a myriad of CYFRA 21-1 is released into a tumor patient's blood circulation, and its serum content elevates strikingly. Consequently, detecting CYFRA 21-1 by an electrochemical biosensor is expected to provide a new method for the early detection and prevention of lung cancer. In this study, a composite of UiO-66-NH2 and carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CMWCNTs) was used as the substrate material of a sensor; the resulting sensor had a large specific surface area and strong electrical conductivity. Moreover, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used to bind to antibodies through an Au-S bonds. Also, a supersensitive detection of CYFRA 21-1 was achieved through the specific bindings of antigens and antibodies. Under optimal detection conditions, the change of current signal intensity of the immunosensor was proportional to the logarithm of CYFRA 21-1 concentration and had a linear relation in the range of 0.005-400 ng/mL, while the detection limit was 1.15 pg/mL (S/N = 3). The proposed immunosensor had high precision, stability, and selectivity. More importantly, the sensor was been successfully applied to detect CYFRA 21-1 in human serum with high recovery, providing a new method for early screening and dynamic monitoring of lung cancer.

Improving the molecular spin qubit performance in zirconium MOF composites by mechanochemical dilution and fullerene encapsulation. Chem Sci 2023; 14:9389-9399. [PMID: 37712041 PMCID: PMC10498684 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc03089j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Enlarging the quantum coherence times and gaining control over quantum effects in real systems are fundamental for developing quantum technologies. Molecular electron spin qubits are particularly promising candidates for realizing quantum information processing due to their modularity and tunability. Still, there is a constant search for tools to increase their quantum coherence times. Here we present how the mechanochemical introduction of active spin qubits in the form of 10% diluted copper(ii)-porphyrins in the diamagnetic PCN-223 and MOF-525 zirconium-MOF polymorph pair can be achieved. Furthermore, the encapsulation of fullerene during the MOF synthesis directs the process exclusively toward the rare PCN-223 framework with a controllable amount of fullerene in the framework channels. In addition to the templating role, the incorporation of fullerene increases the electron spin-lattice and phase-memory relaxation times, T1 and Tm. Besides decreasing the amount of nuclear spin-bearing solvent guests in the non-activated qubit frameworks, the observed improved relaxation times can be rationalized by modulating the phonon density of states upon fullerene encapsulation.

Abstract
The establishment of active sites as the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) has recently attracted much attention ranging from homogeneous to heterogeneous systems in the field of catalysis. Their unquenched reactivity of Lewis acid and base pairs in close proximity that are unable to form stable adducts has been shown to activate small molecules such as dihydrogen heterolytically. Herein, we show that grafted Ru metal-organic framework-based catalysts prepared via N-containing linkers are rather catalytically inactive for H2 activation despite the application of elevated temperatures. However, upon light illumination, charge polarization of the anchored Ru bipyridine complex can form a transient Lewis acid-base pair, Ru+-N- via metal-to-ligand charge transfer, as confirmed by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations to carry out effective H2-D2 exchange. FTIR and 2-D NMR endorse the formation of such reactive intermediate(s) upon light irradiation.
