Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a rapidly growing class of materials that offer great promise in various applications. However, the synthesis remains challenging: for example, a range of crystal structures can often be accessed from the same building blocks, which complicates the phase selectivity. Likewise, the high sensitivity to slight changes in synthesis conditions may cause reproducibility issues. This is crucial, as it hampers the research and commercialization of affected MOFs. Here, it presents the first-ever interlaboratory study of the synthetic reproducibility of two Zr-porphyrin MOFs, PCN-222 and PCN-224, to investigate the scope of this problem. For PCN-222, only one sample out of ten was phase pure and of the correct symmetry, while for PCN-224, three are phase pure, although none of these show the spatial linker order characteristic of PCN-224. Instead, these samples resemble dPCN-224 (disordered PCN-224), which has recently been reported. The variability in thermal behavior, defect content, and surface area of the synthesised samples are also studied. The results have important ramifications for field of metal-organic frameworks and their crystallization, by highlighting the synthetic challenges associated with a multi-variable synthesis space and flat energy landscapes characteristic of MOFs.

Abstract
Controlled synthesis of phase-pure metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is essential for their application in technological areas such as catalysis or gas sorption. Yet, knowledge of their phase formation and growth remain rather limited, particularly with respect to species such as water whose vital role in MOF synthesis is often neglected. As a consequence, synthetic protocols often lack reproducibility when multiple MOFs can form from the same metal source and linker, and phase mixtures are obtained with little or no control over their composition. In this work, the role of water in the formation of the Zr-porphyrin MOF disordered PCN-224 (dPCN-224) is investigated. Through X-ray total scattering and scanning electron microscopy, it is observed that dPCN-224 forms via a metal-organic intermediate that consists of Zr6O4(OH)4 clusters linked by tetrakis(4-carboxy-phenyl)porphyrin molecules. Importantly, water is not only essential to the formation of Zr6O4(OH)4 clusters, but it also plays a primary role in dictating the formation kinetics of dPCN-224. This multidisciplinary approach to studying the speciation of dPCN-224 provides a blueprint for how Zr-MOF synthesis protocols can be assessed and their reproducibility increased, and highlights the importance of understanding the role of water as a decisive component in Zr-MOF formation.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films could be used for ion/molecular sieving, sensing, catalysis, and energy storage, but thus far no large-scale applications are known. One of the reasons is the lack of convenient and controllable fabrication methods. This work reviews the cathodic deposition of MOF films, which has advantages (e.g., simple operations, mild conditions, and controllable MOF film thickness/morphology) over other reported techniques. Accordingly, we discuss the mechanism of the cathodic deposition of MOF films which consists of the electrochemically triggered deprotonation of organic linkers and the formation of inorganic building blocks. Thereafter, the main applications of cathodically deposited MOF films are introduced with the aim of showing this technique's wide-ranging applications. Finally, we give the remaining issues and outlooks of the cathodic deposition of MOF films to drive its future development.

Abstract
Three UiO-66 samples were prepared by solvothermal synthesis using the defect engineering approach with benzoic acid as a modulator. They were characterized by different techniques and their acidic properties were assessed by FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO and CD3CN. All samples evacuated at room temperature contained bridging μ3-OH groups that interacted with both probe molecules. Evacuation at 250 °C leads to the dehydroxylation and disappearance of the μ3-OH groups. Modulator-free synthesis resulted in a material with open Zr sites. They were detected by low-temperature CO adsorption on a sample evacuated at 200 °C and by CD3CN even on a sample evacuated at RT. However, these sites were lacking in the two samples obtained with a modulator. IR and Raman spectra revealed that in these cases, the Zr4+ defect sites were saturated by benzoates, which prevented their interaction with probe molecules. Finally, the dehydroxylation of all samples produced another kind of bare Zr sites that did not interact with CO but formed complexes with acetonitrile, probably due to structural rearrangement. The results showed that FTIR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for investigating the presence and availability of acid sites in UiO-66, which is crucial for its application in adsorption and catalysis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are a class of porous materials with various functions based on their host-guest chemistry. Their selectivity, diffusion kinetics, and catalytic activity are influenced by their design and synthetic procedure. The synthesis of different MOFs has been of considerable interest during the past decade thanks to their various applications in the arena of sensors, catalysts, adsorption, and electronic devices. Among the different techniques for the synthesis of MOFs, such as the solvothermal, sonochemical, ionothermal, and mechanochemical processes, microwave-assisted synthesis has clinched a significant place in MOF synthesis. The main assets of microwave-assisted synthesis are the short reaction time, the fast rate of nucleation, and the modified properties of MOFs. The review encompasses the development of the microwave-assisted synthesis of MOFs, their properties, and their applications in various fields.

Abstract
A zirconia-based catalyst with controlled crystalline phases is synthesized through a simple thermal decomposition of a parent UiO-66 single precursor. The introduction of Ti(IV) and Hf(IV) cation into the Zr(IV) framework has been successfully obtained to tune the photocatalytic activity over methyl orange (MO) solution. Their resulting crystalline phases, morphologies, elemental analysis, band gap values, surface area, and photocatalytic degradation study over MO dye are presented and discussed. The tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) catalyst exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity with 89% decoloration efficiency under UV irradiation (λ = 254 nm) for 300 min compared to m-ZrO2 (67%), the mixed phases (t-ZrO2 and m-ZrO2), as well as the synthesized mixed oxides ZrO2-MO2 (M = Ti or Hf), where the photocatalytic activities are 74% and 63%, respectively. This result is on par with commercially available anatase TiO2 and other reported t-ZrO2 catalysts.

Abstract
In the present work, nanothermometers based on amorphous zirconium metal–organic frameworks co-doped with rare-earth ions (YZ-BDC:Eu3+,Tb3+ nanothermometers) with sizes of about 10–30 nm were successfully synthesized via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method at 120 °C for 15 min. The determined BET surfaces area, total pore volume and average pore diameter were ∼530 m2 g−1, 0.45 cm3 g−1 and 3.4 nm, respectively. Based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) results, the formation process of carboxylic acid salts and the molecular formula of the samples have been proposed. The thermometric properties of Zr-BDC:Eu3+,Tb3+ nanothermometers and their Y3+ ion co-doped counterparts (YZ-BDC:Eu3+,Tb3+) measured in the 133–573 K temperature range were compared. Moreover, the temperature-dependent CIE(x, y) chromaticity coordinates and emission color of the samples were also determined. As the temperature increased from 133 to 573 K, the emission color of Zr-BDC:Eu3+,Tb3+ nanothermometers without the presence of Y3+ ions changed from orange to red, while for YZ-BDC:Eu3+,Tb3+ nanothermometers, the emission color changed from yellow to orange, due to the strong effect of the presence of Y3+ ions on the luminescence intensity of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions. The maximum relative sensitivity (SRmax) in both materials was close to 0.5%/K, however, the temperature range of their occurrence was significantly shifted toward higher temperatures due to doping with Y3+ ions. The obtained results showed that doping with Y3+ ions not only enables the modulation of the useful temperature range with high relative sensitivity, but also provides improved thermal stability. In the present work, nanothermometers based on amorphous zirconium metal–organic frameworks co-doped with rare-earth ions (YZ-BDC:Eu3+,Tb3+) with sizes of about 10–30 nm were successfully synthesized via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method at 120 °C for 15 min.![]()

Abstract
The bicyclic ditopic linker 2,2'-biselenophene-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid (H2SpSp), specifically designed for metal-organic framework (MOF) construction, has been synthesized in good yield and fully characterized. The corresponding zirconium MOF (Zr-MOF) [Zr6O4(OH)4(SpSp)3.8Cl4.4] (1; where missing linkers are replaced by chloride anions as shown by X-ray fluorescence and elemental analysis) is isostructural with its bithiophene and bithiazole analogues. Starting from 1, an extension of the biselenophene-based Zr-MOF family has been successfully achieved, exploiting the structural analogy of the five-membered heterocycles selenophene, thiophene, and thiazole. Thus, three mixed-linker MOFs containing variable amounts of different bis(heterocyclic) dicarboxylic acids have been prepared and fully characterized: the two double-mixed [Zr6O4(OH)4(SpSp)2.6(TpTp)1.3Cl4.2] (2; H2TpTp = 2,2'-bithiophene-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) and [Zr6O4(OH)4(SpSp)2(TzTz)1.8Cl4.4] (3; H2TzTz = 2,2'-bithiazole-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) materials, as well as the triple-mixed [Zr6O4(OH)4(SpSp)1.6(TpTp)1.2(TzTz)1.4Cl3.6] (4) compound. The four MOFs are luminescent under UV irradiation, exhibiting emission wavelengths falling in the blue-green visible region, as observed for their constitutive linkers. These materials open new horizons in the preparation of porous luminescent sensors or multicolor emitters for light-emitting diodes.

Abstract
LiCoPO4 (LCP) is a promising high voltage cathode material but suffers from low conductivity and poor electrochemical properties. These properties can be improved by coating with a conductive carbon layer. Ongoing research is focused on the protective layer with good adhesion and inhibition of electrolyte decomposition reactions. In the present work, we suggest a new robust one-pot procedure, featuring the introduction of UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles during LCP synthesis to create a metal-carbon layer upon annealing. The LiCoPO4/C@UiO-66 was synthesized via the microwave-assisted solvothermal route, and 147 mA h g-1 discharge capacity was obtained in the first cycle. The MOF acts as a source of both carbon and metal atoms, which improves conductivity. Using operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy upon cycling, we identify two Co-related phases in the sample and exclude the olivine structure degradation as an explanation for a long-term capacity fade.

Abstract
We report here a simple two-stage synthesis of zinc–cobalt oxide nanoparticles. We used Zn/Co-zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 materials as precursors for annealing and optional impregnation with a silicon source for the formation of a protective layer on the surface of oxide nanoparticles. Using bimetallic ZIFs allowed us to trace the phase transition of the obtained oxide nanoparticles from wurtzite ZnO to spinel Co3O4 structures. Using (X-ray diffraction) XRD and (X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure) XANES techniques, we confirmed the incorporation of cobalt ions into the ZnO structure up to 5 mol.% of Co. Simple annealing of Zn/Co-ZIF-8 materials in the air led to the formation of oxide nanoparticles of about 20–30 nm, while additional treatment of ZIFs with silicon source resulted in nanoparticles of about 5–10 nm covered with protective silica layer. We revealed the incorporation of oxygen vacancies in the obtained ZnO nanoparticles using FTIR analysis. All obtained samples were comprehensively characterized, including analysis with a synchrotron radiation source.

Abstract
Controlling the crystallisation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), network solids of metal ions or clusters connected by organic ligands, is often hindered by the significant number of synthetic variables inherent to their synthesis. Coordination modulation, the addition of monotopic competing ligands to solvothermal syntheses, can allow tuning of physical properties (particle size, porosity, surface chemistry), enhance crystallinity, and select desired phases, by modifying the kinetics of self-assembly, but its mechanism(s) are poorly understood. Herein, turbidity measurements were used to assess the effects of modulation on the solvothermal synthesis of the prototypical Zr terephthalate MOF UiO-66 and the knowledge gained was applied to its rapid microwave synthesis. The studied experimental parameters-temperature, reagent concentration, reagent aging, metal precursor, water content, and modulator addition-all influence the time taken for onset of nucleation, and subsequently allow microwave synthesis of UiO-66 in as little as one minute. The simple, low cost turbidity measurements align closely with previously reported in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies, proving their simplicity and utility for probing the nucleation of complex materials while offering significant insights to the synthetic chemist.

Abstract
UiO-66, a zirconium(IV) metal-organic framework (MOF) comprised of six-metal clusters and terephthalic acid ligands, displays excellent thermal and chemical stability and has functions in gas storage, catalysis, selective adsorption, and drug delivery. Though the stability of UiO-66 is highly advantageous, simultaneous synthetic control over particle size and defectiveness of UiO-66 remains difficult to attain. Using an acid-free solvothermal synthesis, we demonstrate that particle size, defectiveness, and inherent fluorescence of UiO-66 can be precisely tuned using the molar ligand to metal ratio, quantified water content, and reaction time during synthesis. These three synthetic handles allow for reproducible modulation of UiO-66 defectiveness between 0 and 12% and particle size between 20 to 120 nm, while maintaining high crystallinity in the nanoparticles that were formed. We also find that particle defectiveness is linked to common over-estimation of particle size measurements obtained via dynamic light scattering (DLS) and propose a model to correct elevated hydrodynamic diameter measurements. Finally, we report inherent fluorescence of non-functionalized UiO-66, which exhibits peak fluorescence at a wavelength of 390 nm following excitation at 280 nm and is maximized in large, defect-free particles. Overall, this synthetic approach and characterization of defect, size, and fluorescence represent new opportunities to tune the physiochemical properties of UiO-66.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis and corresponding full characterization of the set of UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (C6H4(COOH)2, hereafter H2BDC) and 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate (C10H6(COOH)2, hereafter H2NDC) mixed linkers with NDC contents of 0, 25, 50, and 100%. Their structural (powder X-ray diffraction, PXRD), adsorptive (N2, H2, and CO2), vibrational (IR/Raman), and thermal stability (thermogravimetric analysis, TGA) properties quantitatively correlate with the NDC content in the material. The UiO-66 phase topology is conserved at all relative fractions of BDC/NDC. The comparison between the synchrotron radiation PXRD and 77 K N2-adsorption isotherms obtained on the 50:50 BDC/NDC sample and on a mechanical mixture of the pure BDC and NDC samples univocally proves that in the mixed linkers of the MOFs the BDC and NDC linkers are shared in each MOF crystal, discarding the hypothesis of two independent phases, where each crystal contains only BDC or NDC linkers. The careful tuning of the NDC content opens a way for controlled alteration of the sorption properties of the resulting material as testified by the H2-adsorption experiments, showing that the relative ranking of the materials in H2 adsorption is different in different equilibrium-pressure ranges: at low pressures, 100NDC is the most efficient sample, while with increasing pressure, its relative performance progressively declines; at high pressures, the ranking follows the BDC content, reflecting the larger internal pore volume available in the MOFs with a higher fraction of smaller linkers. The H2-adsorption isotherms normalized by the sample Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area show, in the whole pressure range, that the surface-area-specific H2-adsorption capabilities in UiO-66 MOFs increase progressively with increasing NDC content. Density functional theory calculations, using the hybrid B3LYP exchange correlation functional and quadruple-ζ with four polarization functions (QZ4P) basis set, show that the interaction of H2 with the H2NDC linker results in an adsorption energy larger by about 15% with respect to that calculated for adsorption on the H2BDC linker.
