Abstract
The immune system's complexity and ongoing evolutionary struggle against deleterious pathogens underscore the value of vaccination technologies, which have been bolstering human immunity for over two centuries. Despite noteworthy advancements over these 200 years, three areas remain recalcitrant to improvement owing to the environmental instability of the biomolecules used in vaccines─the challenges of formulating them into controlled release systems, their need for constant refrigeration to avoid loss of efficacy, and the requirement that they be delivered via needle owing to gastrointestinal incompatibility. Nanotechnology, particularly metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), has emerged as a promising avenue for confronting these challenges, presenting a new frontier in vaccine development. Although these materials have been widely explored in the context of drug delivery, imaging, and cancer immunotherapy, their role in immunology and vaccine-related applications is a recent yet rapidly developing field. This review seeks to elucidate the prospective use of MOFs and COFs for biomaterial stabilization, eliminating the necessity for cold chains, enhancing antigen potency as adjuvants, and potentializing needle-free delivery of vaccines. It provides an expansive and critical viewpoint on this rapidly evolving field of research and emphasizes the vital contribution of chemists in driving further advancements.

Abstract
The loading rate dependence of the mechanical properties of metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals is key in determining their performance in many engineering applications, which, however, remains almost unexplored. Here, in situ nanoindentation experiments were conducted to investigate the impact of loading rate on mechanical properties of HKUST-1, a classic MOF. The Young's modulus and hardness of crystalline HKUST-1 are found to stay stable or decline with decreasing loading rate by creeping when the loading rate is below a particular speed, but they significantly decrease as the loading rate grows when it has higher magnitudes. Our molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the anomalous loading rate dependence of mechanical properties is attributed to the competition between the release and transfer of latent heat from the pressure-induced amorphous HKUST-1 because the increase in local temperature at large loading rates could induce the softening of HKUST-1 and the increase in the volume of transformed materials.

Abstract
An unprecedented synthesis method is used to form a series of Ce-UiO-66-X (X = NH2, OH, H, NO2, COOH) metal-organic frameworks by precipitation from mixed solvents, with instantaneous crystallisation on combining separate solutions of ligands and metal precursors. This allows the first direct synthesis of Ce-UiO-66-OH. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) shows that all materials are pure phase with a broadened profile that indicates nano-scale crystallite domain size. The effect of different functional groups on the benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate linker within the UiO-66 structure has been investigated on degradation of two cationic (methylene blue and rhodamine B) and two anionic (Congo red, and Alizarin red S) dyes under UV and visible light irradiation at room temperature. Analysis of the dye adsorption in the absence of light is accounted for using pseudo-first order kinetics, and the Ce-UiO-66-NH2, Ce-UiO-66-OH, and Ce-UiO-66-H materials display a considerable photocatalytic activity to degrade Alizarin red S and Congo red rapidly between 1 and 3 minutes. The materials show excellent photostability and recyclability under UV and visible light, with no loss of crystallinity seen by PXRD and activity maintained over 5 cycles, with 16 hours photostability for Ce-UiO-66-NH2.

Abstract
Herein, synthesizable candidate topologies to form zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are efficiently identified from over 2 000 000 hypothetical structures in zeolite databases, using structural descriptors extracted from known ZIFs. A combination of intuition-based structural descriptors, such as ring patterns, node numbers, and TOT bridging angles (T = tetrahedral metal nodes in zeolites and ZIFs), is used as data filters to eliminate topologies infeasible for ZIF formation. Carefully chosen structural descriptors facilitate the prediction of plausible ZIF topologies. To investigate potential applications as porous ZIFs, this work performs hydrogen adsorption screening and suggested notable target ZIFs. The collection of new plausible ZIFs, derived from the combined descriptors, will be a structural blueprint for synthetic chemists.

Abstract
As rationally designable materials, the variety and number of synthesised metal-organic cages (MOCs) and organic cages (OCs) are expected to grow in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). In this regard, two of the most important questions are, which structures are already present in the CSD and how can they be identified? Here, we present a cage mining methodology based on topological data analysis and a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning that led to the derivation of - to the best of our knowledge - the first and only MOC dataset of 1839 structures and the largest experimental OC dataset of 7736 cages, as of March 2022. We illustrate the use of such datasets with a high-throughput screening of MOCs and OCs for xenon/krypton separation, important gases in multiple industries, including healthcare.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have generated tremendous research interest in the past two decades, due to their high surface areas, tailorable active sites, and tunable structures. Hierarchical porous MOFs (HP-MOFs) with two or more pore systems are particularly attractive, benefiting from improved active site accessibility and enhanced mass diffusivity in applications involving bulk molecules. This review outlines the mechanistic principles used for the rational design of HP-MOFs, current techniques used to measure their hierarchical porosities, as well as their emerging applications. We then critically summarize the current challenges in this field and provide a contemporary perspective on the technological innovations that would address current synthetic challenges in the field of HP-MOFs. The aim of this review is to provide an in-depth understanding of the formation mechanisms, materials chemistry, and structural and chemical properties of HP-MOFs while exploring ways to enhance the performance of current MOF materials in a range of fields.

Abstract
Despite having the potential to synthesize stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), rare earth metal-based MOFs have not been exploited extensively. Owing to the high coordination numbers, the MOFs can generate a suitable coordination environment for various applications. Herein, samarium (Sm)-based MOFs were synthesized with three different organic linkers, namely, trimesic acid (TMA), meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP), and 1,3,6,8-tetra(4-carboxylphenyl) pyrene(TBPy) by the solvothermal approach. The morphologies of Sm-TMA MOF, Sm-TCPP MOF, Sm-TBPy MOF were rod-shaped, cubic consisting of stacked 2D layers, and spherical made of small cubic structures, respectively. After the electrochemical properties of the synthesized MOFs were investigated, the MOFs were used to fabricate immunosensors for detection of carcinoembryonic antigen using a label-free signaling strategy. The immunosensors exhibited a wide linear detection range and a lower detection limit. The exhibited reproducibility and selectivity of the immunosensors were within the tolerable limits. The established label-free immunosensor has been successfully applied for detection of carcinoembryonic antigen in human serum samples, demonstrating that the rare earth metal-based MOFs are promising for construction of biosensors for medical diagnosis.

Abstract
Herein, we report on the synthesis of a microporous, three‐dimensional phosphonate metal–organic framework (MOF) with the composition Cu3(H5‐MTPPA)2 ⋅ 2 NMP (H8‐MTPPA=methane tetra‐p‐phenylphosphonic acid and NMP=N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone). This MOF, termed TUB1, has a unique one‐dimensional inorganic building unit composed of square planar and distorted trigonal bipyramidal copper atoms. It possesses a (calculated) BET surface area of 766.2 m2/g after removal of the solvents from the voids. The Tauc plot for TUB1 yields indirect and direct band gaps of 2.4 eV and 2.7 eV, respectively. DFT calculations reveal the existence of two spin‐dependent gaps of 2.60 eV and 0.48 eV for the alpha and beta spins, respectively, with the lowest unoccupied crystal orbital for both gaps predominantly residing on the square planar copper atoms. The projected density of states suggests that the presence of the square planar copper atoms reduces the overall band gap of TUB1, as the beta‐gap for the trigonal bipyramidal copper atoms is 3.72 eV.

Abstract
Separating carbon dioxide from fuel gases like hydrocarbons by physical adsorbents is industrially important and more energy-efficient than traditional liquid extraction or cryogenic distillation methods. It is very important while very challenging to develop CO2 -selective adsorbents, considering CO2 is less polarizable than light hydrocarbon molecules, particularly those simultaneously with almost identical molecular dimensions and physical properties, such as acetylene. Herein, an ultramicroporous metal-organic framework constructed from copper(II) and 5-fluoropyrimidin-2-olate, termed Cu-F-pymo, is carefully studied under different activations for inverse separation of CO2 from C2 H2 . The partially desolvated Cu-F-pymo can exclusively capture CO2 over C2 H2 with very high selectivity exceeding 105 under ambient conditions, the highest ever reported. Sorption experiments and modeling studies reveal that such molecular sieving effect is attributed to the suppression of C2 H2 adsorption from the blockage of the preferential sites for C2 H2 by residual water molecules. The inverse separation is further confirmed by column breakthrough studies given that highly pure acetylene (>99.9%) can be directly harvested from the gas mixture. Cu-F-pymo also shows remarkable stability under harsh conditions.

Abstract
Computational screening methods have changed the way new materials and processes are discovered and designed. For adsorption-based gas separations and carbon capture, recent efforts have been directed toward the development of multiscale and performance-based screening workflows where we can go from the atomistic structure of an adsorbent to its equilibrium and transport properties at different scales, and eventually to its separation performance at the process level. The objective of this work is to review the current status of this new approach, discuss its potential and impact on the field of materials screening, and highlight the challenges that limit its application. We compile and introduce all the elements required for the development, implementation, and operation of multiscale workflows, hence providing a useful practical guide and a comprehensive source of reference to the scientific communities who work in this area. Our review includes information about available materials databases, state-of-the-art molecular simulation and process modeling tools, and a complete catalogue of data and parameters that are required at each stage of the multiscale screening. We thoroughly discuss the challenges associated with data availability, consistency of the models, and reproducibility of the data and, finally, propose new directions for the future of the field.

Abstract
Achieving high performance functional materials has been a long-term goal for scientists and engineers that can significantly promote science and technology development and thus benefit our society and human beings. As well-known porous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline open frameworks made up of molecular building blocks linked by strong coordination bonds, affording pore space for storing and trapping guest molecules. In terms of porosity, MOFs outperform traditional porous materials including zeolites and activated carbon, showing exceptional porosity with internal surface area up to thousands of square meters per gram of sample and with periodic pore sizes ranging from sub-nanometer to nanometers. Numerous MOFs have been synthesized with potential applications ranging from storing gaseous fuels to separating intractable industrial gas mixtures, sensing physical and chemical stimulus, and transmitting protons for conduction. Compared to traditional porous materials, MOFs are distinguished for their exceptional capability for pore adjustment and interior modification through pore engineering, which have made them a preeminent platform for exploring functional materials with high performance.Rational combinations of rigid building units of different geometry and multibranched organic linkers have provided MOFs with diverse pore structures, ranging from spherical to cylindrical, slit, and tubular ones isolating or interconnecting in different directions, which can be optimized for high-capacity gas storage. Based on the isoreticular principle and building blocks approach in MOF chemistry, the pore adjustment of porous materials can be performed with exquisite precision, making them suitable to address industrially important gas separation. The large pore cavities in MOFs are readily available for encapsulation of different functional guest species, resulting in novel MOF composite materials with various functions.In this Account, we summarize our recent research progress on pore engineering to achieve high-performance MOF materials. We have been able to tune and optimize pore structures, immobilize specific functional sites, and incorporate guest species into target MOF materials for hydrogen storage, methane storage, light-hydrocarbon purification, and proton conduction, especially for various industrially important gas separations including acetylene removal and ethylene and propylene purification. By engineering the porosity and pore chemistry that endows MOFs with multiple functionalities, our research endeavors have brought about the customization of high-performance MOF materials for corresponding application scenarios.

Abstract
Finding the best material for a specific application is the ultimate goal of materials discovery. However, there is also the reverse problem: when experimental groups discover a new material, they would like to know all the possible applications this material would be promising for. Computational modeling can aim to fulfill this expectation, thanks to the sustained growth of computing power and the collective engagement of the scientific community in developing more efficient and accurate workflows for predicting materials' performances. We discuss the impact that reproducibility and automation of the modeling protocols have on the field of gas adsorption in nanoporous crystals. We envision a platform that combines these tools and enables effective matching between promising materials and industrial applications.

Abstract
Large-scale targeted exploration of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with characteristics such as specific surface chemistry or metal-cluster family has not been investigated so far.
Large-scale targeted exploration of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with characteristics such as specific surface chemistry or metal-cluster family has not been investigated so far. These definitions are particularly important because they can define the way MOFs interact with specific molecules (e.g. their hydrophilic/phobic character) or their physicochemical stability. We report here the development of algorithms to break down the overarching family of MOFs into a number of subgroups according to some of their key chemical and physical features. Available within the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre's (CCDC) software, we introduce new approaches to allow researchers to browse and efficiently look for targeted MOF families based on some of the most well-known secondary building units. We then classify them in terms of their crystalline properties: metal-cluster, network and pore dimensionality, surface chemistry (i.e. functional groups) and chirality. This dynamic database and family of algorithms allow experimentalists and computational users to benefit from the developed criteria to look for specific classes of MOFs but also enable users – and encourage them – to develop additional MOF queries based on desired chemistries. These tools are backed-up by an interactive web-based data explorer containing all the data obtained. We also demonstrate the usefulness of these tools with a high-throughput screening for hydrogen storage at room temperature. This toolbox, integrated in the CCDC software, will guide future exploration of MOFs and similar materials, as well as their design and development for an ever-increasing range of potential applications.
