Abstract
C2 hydrocarbon separation from methane represents a technological challenge for natural gas upgrading. Herein, we report a new metal-organic framework, [Cu2L(DEF)2]·2DEF (UNT-14; H4L = 4,4',4″,4‴-((1E,1'E,1″E,1‴E)-benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrayltetrakis(ethene-2,1-diyl))tetrabenzoic acid; DEF = N,N-diethylformamide; UNT = University of North Texas). The linker design will potentially increase the surface area and adsorption energy owing to π(hydrocarbon)-π(linker)/M interactions, hence increasing C2 hydrocarbon/CH4 separation. Crystallographic data unravel an sql topology for UNT-14, whereby [Cu2(COO)4]···[L]4- paddle-wheel units afford two-dimensional porous sheets. Activated UNT-14a exhibits moderate porosity with an experimental Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 480 m2 g-1 (vs 1868 m2 g-1 from the crystallographic data). UNT-14a exhibits considerable C2 uptake capacity under ambient conditions vs CH4. GCMC simulations reveal higher isosteric heats of adsorption (Qst) and Henry's coefficients (KH) for UNT-14a vs related literature MOFs. Ideal adsorbed solution theory yields favorable adsorption selectivity of UNT-14a for equimolar C2Hn/CH4 gas mixtures, attaining 31.1, 11.9, and 14.8 for equimolar mixtures of C2H6/CH4, C2H4/CH4, and C2H2/CH4, respectively, manifesting efficient C2 hydrocarbon/CH4 separation. The highest C2 uptake and Qst being for ethane are also desirable technologically; it is attributed to the greatest number of "agostic" or other dispersion C-H bond interactions (6) vs 4/2/4 for ethylene/acetylene/methane.

Abstract
Based on the hard-soft acid base (HSAB) theory, three robust isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with nia topology were successfully synthesized by solvothermal reaction {[In3O(BHB)(H2O)3]NO3·3DMA (JLU-MOF110(In)), [Fe3O(BHB)(H2O)3]NO3 (JLU-MOF110(Fe)), and [Fe2NiO(BHB)(H2O)3] (JLU-MOF110(FeNi)) (DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide, H6BHB = 4,4″-benzene-1,3,5-triyl-hexabenzoic acid)}. Both JLU-MOF110(In) and JLU-MOF110(Fe) are cationic frameworks, and their BET surface areas are 301 and 446 m2/g, respectively. By modification of the components of metal clusters, JLU-MOF110(FeNi) features a neutral framework, and the BET surface area is increased up to 808 m2/g. All three MOF materials exhibit high chemical and thermal stability. JLU-MOF110(In) remains stable for 24 h at pH values ranging from 1 to 11, while JLU-MOF110(Fe) and JLU-MOF110(FeNi) persist to be stable for 24 h at pH from 1 to 12. JLU-MOF110(In) exhibits thermal stability up to 350 °C, whereas JLU-MOF110(Fe) and JLU-MOF(FeNi) can be stable up to 300 °C. Thanks to the microporous cage-based structure and abundant open metal sites, JLU-MOF110(In), JLU-MOF110(Fe), and JLU-MOF110(FeNi) have excellent CO2 capture capacity (28.0, 51.5, and 99.6 cm3/g, respectively, under 298 K and 1 bar). Interestingly, the ideal adsorption solution theory results show that all three MOFs exhibit high separation selectivity toward CO2 over N2 (35.2, 43.2, and 43.2 for CO2/N2 = 0.15/0.85) and CO2 over CH4 (14.4, 11.5, and 10.1 for CO2/CH4 = 0.5/0.5) at 298 K and 1 bar. Thus, all three MOFs are potential candidates for CO2 capture and separation. Among them, JLU-MOF110(FeNi) displays the best separation potential, as revealed by dynamic column breakthrough experiments.

Abstract
Developing efficient and sensitive MOF-based luminescence sensors for bioactive molecule detection is of great significance and remains a challenge. Benefiting from favorable chemical and thermal stability, as well as excellent luminescence performance, a porous Zn(II)Ho(III) heterometallic-organic framework (ZnHoMOF) was selected here as a bifunctional luminescence sensor for the early diagnosis of a toluene exposure biomarker of hippuric acid (HA) through "turn-on" luminescence enhancing response and the daily monitoring of NFT/NFZ antibiotics through "turn-off" quenching effects in aqueous media with high sensitivity, acceptable selectivity, good anti-interference, exceptional recyclability performance, and low detection limits (LODs) of 0.7 ppm for HA, 0.04 ppm for NFT, and 0.05 ppm for NFZ. Moreover, the developed sensor was employed to quantify HA in diluted urine samples and NFT/NFZ in natural river water with satisfactory results. In addition, the sensing mechanisms of ZnHoMOF as a dual-response chemosensor in efficient detection of HA and NFT/NFZ antibiotics were conducted from the view of photo-induced electron transfer (PET), as well as inner filter effects (IFEs), with the help of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and spectral overlap experiments.

Abstract
Herein, we used the 4-fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3,4',5-tricarboxylic acid (H3fbptc) ligand to design and construct a new metal-organic framework (MOF), [Cu3(fbptc)2(H2O)3]·3NMP (1), which possesses rich accessible metal sites and F functional groups in the porous walls and shows high uptake for C2H2 (119.3 cm3 g-1) and significant adsorption selectivity for C2H2 over CH4 (14.4) and CO2 (3.6) at 298 K and 100 kPa. In particular, for the gas mixtures of C2H2-CH4 and C2H2-CO2, the MOF reveals large breakthrough time ratios (C2H2/CH4 = 13, C2H2/CO2 = 5.9), which are particularly prominent in dynamic breakthrough experiments, also confirming the excellent potential for the practical separation of C2H2 from two-component mixtures (C2H2-CH4 and C2H2-CO2) and even three-component mixtures (C2H2-CO2-CH4).

Abstract
The modern technology for acetylene production is inevitably accompanied by the contamination of carbon dioxide and moisture impurities. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with rational configurations of fluorine as the hydrogen-bonding acceptor (HBA), exhibit excellent affinities to capture acetylene from the gas mixtures. Currently, most research studies feature anionic fluorine groups as structural pillars (e.g., SiF6 2-, TiF6 2-, NbOF5 2-), whereas in situ insertion of fluorine into metal clusters is rather challenging. Herein, we report a unique fluorine-bridged Fe-MOF, i.e., DNL-9(Fe), which is assembled by mixed-valence FeIIFeIII clusters and renewable organic ligands. The fluorine species in the coordination-saturated structure offer superior C2H2-favored adsorption sites facilitated by hydrogen bonding, with a lower C2H2 adsorption enthalpy than other reported HBA-MOFs, demonstrated by static/dynamic adsorption tests and theoretical calculations. Importantly, DNL-9(Fe) shows exceptional hydrochemical stability under aqueous, acidic, and basic conditions, and its intriguing performance for C2H2/CO2 separation was even maintained at a high relative humidity of 90%.

Abstract
Highly selective separation and purification of acetylene (C2H2) from ethylene (C2H4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are daunting challenges in light of their similar molecule sizes and physical properties. Herein, we report a two-dimensional (2D) stable metal-organic framework (MOF), NUM-11 ([Cu(Hmpba)2]·1.5DMF) (H2mpba = 4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)benzoic acid), with sql topology, stacked together through π-π interactions for efficient separation of C2H2 from C2H4 and CO2. The 2D-MOF material offers high hydrolytic stability and good purification capacity; especially, it could survive in water for 7 months, even longer. This stable MOF selectively captures C2H2 from mixtures containing C2H4 and CO2, as determined by adsorption isotherms. The ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity calculations and transient breakthrough experiments were performed to verify the separation capacity. The low isosteric heat of NUM-11a (desolvated NUM-11) (18.24 kJ mol-1 for C2H2) validates the feasibility of adsorbent regeneration with low energy footprint consumption. Furthermore, Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations confirmed that the pore surface of the NUM-11 framework enabled preferential binding of C2H2 over C2H4 and CO2 via multiple C-H···O, C-H···π, and C-H···C interactions. This work provides some insights to prepare stable MOF materials toward the purification of C2H2, and the water-stable structure, low isosteric heat, and good cycling stability of NUM-11 make it very promising for practical industrial application.
