Abstract
Porous liquids are new materials that provide permanent porosity in the liquid phase through the dispersion of nanoporous solid particles in a bulky solvent. Herein, we aim at understanding how new sustainable solvents such as deep eutectic solvent (DES) can be used to form porous stable suspensions for the capture of gases of interest for sustainable chemistry. The properties of an ionic DES, methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide/glycerol in a 1:3 molar composition, and its behavior at the interface with a metal-organic framework (MOF), ZIF-8, are here investigated by polarizable molecular dynamics simulations. The structural and dynamic properties of the DES are analyzed in the bulk liquid and in the interfacial regions with the MOF, namely, in the accessible cavities exposed at the surface. The porosity of the suspension is maintained, and it is caused not only by the Coulomb cohesive energy between cations and anions, which prevents the small anions from entering the pores, but also by the glycerol molecules not penetrating the small aperture of the ZIF-8 structure. This was further verified by simulating a system composed of glycerol and ZIF-8. Simulations with CO2 show its partition between the DES and the MOF, with higher concentrations registered in the MOF cavities.

Abstract
Heat and the work of compression/decompression are among the basic properties of thermodynamic systems. Being relevant to many industrial and natural processes, this thermomechanical energy is challenging to tune due to fundamental boundaries for simple fluids. Here via direct experimental and atomistic observations, we demonstrate, for fluids consisting of nanoporous material and a liquid, one can overcome these limitations and noticeably affect both thermal and mechanical energies of compression/decompression exploiting preferential intrusion of water from aqueous solutions into subnanometer pores. We hypothesize that this effect is due to the enthalpy of dilution manifesting itself as the aqueous solution concentrates upon the preferential intrusion of pure water into pores. We suggest this genuinely subnanoscale phenomenon can be potentially a strategy for controlling the thermomechanical energy of microporous liquids and tuning the wetting/dewetting heat of nanopores relevant to a variety of natural and technological processes spanning from biomedical applications to oil-extraction and renewable energy.

Abstract
Compressibility is a fundamental property of all materials. For fluids, that is, gases and liquids, compressibility forms the basis of technologies such as pneumatics and hydraulics and determines basic phenomena such as the propagation of sound and shock waves. In contrast to gases, liquids are almost incompressible. If the compressibility of liquids could be increased and controlled, new applications in hydraulics and shock absorption could result. Here, it is shown that dispersing hydrophobic porous particles into water gives aqueous suspensions with much greater compressibilities than any normal liquids such as water (specifically, up to 20 times greater over certain pressure ranges). The increased compressibility results from water molecules being forced into the hydrophobic pores of the particles under applied pressure. The degree of compression can be controlled by varying the amount of porous particles added. Also, the pressure range of compression can be reduced by adding methanol or increased by adding salt. In all cases, the liquids expand back to their original volume when the applied pressure is released. The approach shown here is simple and economical and could potentially be scaled up to give large amounts of highly compressible liquids.

Abstract
The liquid-to-vapor transition can occur under unexpected conditions in nanopores, opening the door to fundamental questions and new technologies. The physics of boiling in confinement is progressively introduced, starting from classical nucleation theory, passing through nanoscale effects, and terminating with the material and external parameters that affect the boiling conditions. The relevance of boiling in specific nanoconfined systems is discussed, focusing on heterogeneous lyophobic systems, chromatographic columns, and ion channels. The current level of control of boiling in nanopores enabled by microporous materials such as metal organic frameworks and biological nanopores paves the way to thrilling theoretical challenges and to new technological opportunities in the fields of energy, neuromorphic computing, and sensing.

Abstract
A way through which the properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be tuned is by engineering defects into the crystal structure. Given its intrinsic stability and rigidity, however, it is difficult to introduce defects into zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs)-and ZIF-8, in particular-without compromising crystal integrity. In this work, it is shown that the acoustic radiation pressure as well as the hydrodynamic stresses arising from the oscillatory flow generated by coupling high frequency (MHz-order) hybrid surface and bulk acoustic waves into a suspension of ZIF-8 crystals in a liquid pressure transmitting medium is capable of driving permanent structural changes in their crystal lattice structure. Over time, the enhancement in the diffusive transport of guest molecules into the material's pores as a consequence is shown to lead to expansion of the pore framework, and subsequently, the creation of dangling-linker and missing-linker defects, therefore offering the possibility of tuning the type and extent of defects engineered into the MOF through the acoustic exposure time. Additionally, the practical utility of the technology is demonstrated for one-pot, simultaneous solvent-assisted ligand exchange under ambient conditions, for sub-micron-dimension ZIF-8 crystals and relatively large ligands-more specifically 2-aminobenzimidazole-without compromising the framework porosity or overall crystal structure.

Abstract
Controlling the pressure at which liquids intrude (wet) and extrude (dry) a nanopore is of paramount importance for a broad range of applications, such as energy conversion, catalysis, chromatography, separation, ionic channels, and many more. To tune these characteristics, one typically acts on the chemical nature of the system or pore size. In this work, we propose an alternative route for controlling both intrusion and extrusion pressures via proper arrangement of the grains of the nanoporous material. To prove the concept, dynamic intrusion-extrusion cycles for powdered and monolithic ZIF-8 metal-organic framework were conducted by means of water porosimetry and in operando neutron scattering. We report a drastic increase in intrusion-extrusion dynamic hysteresis when going from a fine powder to a dense monolith configuration, transforming an intermediate performance of the ZIF-8 + water system (poor molecular spring) into a desirable shock-absorber with more than 1 order of magnitude enhancement of dissipated energy per cycle. The obtained results are supported by MD simulations and pave the way for an alternative methodology of tuning intrusion-extrusion pressure using a macroscopic arrangement of nanoporous material.

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

Abstract
Optimal mechanical impact absorbers are reusable and exhibit high specific energy absorption. The forced intrusion of liquid water in hydrophobic nanoporous materials, such as zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), presents an attractive pathway to engineer such systems. However, to harness their full potential, it is crucial to understand the underlying water intrusion and extrusion mechanisms under realistic, high-rate deformation conditions. Here, we report a critical increase of the energy absorption capacity of confined water-ZIF systems at elevated strain rates. Starting from ZIF-8 as proof-of-concept, we demonstrate that this attractive rate dependence is generally applicable to cage-type ZIFs but disappears for channel-containing zeolites. Molecular simulations reveal that this phenomenon originates from the intrinsic nanosecond timescale needed for critical-sized water clusters to nucleate inside the nanocages, expediting water transport through the framework. Harnessing this fundamental understanding, design rules are formulated to construct effective, tailorable and reusable impact energy absorbers for challenging new applications.

Abstract
In this article, the effect of a porous material's flexibility on the dynamic reversibility of a nonwetting liquid intrusion was explored experimentally. For this purpose, high-pressure water intrusion together with high-pressure in situ small-angle neutron scattering were applied for superhydrophobic grafted silica and two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with different flexibility [ZIF-8 and Cu2(tebpz) (tebpz = 3,3',5,5'tetraethyl-4,4'-bipyrazolate)]. These results established the relation between the pressurization rate, water intrusion-extrusion hysteresis, and porous materials' flexibility. It was demonstrated that the dynamic hysteresis of water intrusion into superhydrophobic nanopores can be controlled by the flexibility of a porous material. This opens a new area of applications for flexible MOFs, namely, a smart pressure-transmitting fluid, capable of dissipating undesired vibrations depending on their frequency. Finally, nanotriboelectric experiments were conducted and the results showed that a porous material's topology is important for electricity generation while not affecting the dynamic hysteresis at any speed.

Abstract
The low-frequency (100-1250 Hz) acoustic properties of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials were examined in impedance tube experiments. The anomalously high sound transmission loss of HKUST-1, FeBTC, and MIL-53(Al) quantitatively demonstrated that these prototypical MOFs are absorptive acoustic metamaterials. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of MOFs that have been demonstrated to be acoustic metamaterials. Low-frequency acoustic dampening by subwavelength MOF metamaterials is likely due to sound dissipation and absorption facilitated by multiple internal reflections within the microporous framework structure. Modification of MIL-53(Al) with flexible organic linkers clarified that acoustic signatures of the MOFs may be tailored to add or alter certain diagnostic acoustic signatures. These results may be applied to the rational design of lightweight sound-insulating construction materials and acoustic contrast agents for subsurface mapping and monitoring applications at low frequency (100-1250 Hz).

Abstract
Liquid intrusion into zeolitic imidazolate framework 7 (ZIF-7) has been observed for the first time. Among the three typical phases of ZIF-7, we discover that only the guest-free ZIF-7-II structure can be intruded by mechanical pressure, and intriguingly, this pressurized liquid intrusion behavior is detected only in nanocrystals, indicating the crystal size effect. Because of its unique combination of non-outflow property and high intrusion pressure, water intrusion into ZIF-7-II generates a marked energy dissipation capacity of ∼2 J/g despite its limited pore volume. We present several strategies that can be easily implemented to tune its intrusion pressure and energy dissipation and accomplish material reusability. Remarkably, we found that the pore cavities of ZIF-7-II can accommodate water molecules without experiencing any phase transition, which is entirely different from other solvents whose incorporation will trigger a spontaneous conversion into ZIF-7-I. Our pressure-vs-volume data further reveal that the process of water infiltration and retainment is controlled by the gate-opening/closing mechanism, which has enabled us to probe the viscoelasticity of ZIF-7 via cyclic liquid intrusion experiments. This study has deepened our understanding of the time-dependent mechanical properties of ZIFs and shed new light on the structural flexibility central to the novel applications of metal-organic framework materials.
