Abstract
In this study, we report the efficient removal of organic dyes from aqueous solutions using a newly synthesized pyrene-appended Zn(II)-based metal-organic framework (MOF), ZnSiF6Pyrene MOF, with the chemical formula C52H32F6N4SiZn·4(CHCl3). The MOF was synthesized through a facile method at room temperature using a dipyridylpyrene ligand and ZnSiF6 metal source, resulting in a highly crystalline structure with pyrene functional groups forming the framework. The synthesized MOF was characterized using various analytical techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thermal stability was assessed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), while the surface area of the MOF was determined using a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analyzer. Furthermore, the single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) structure was studied to authenticate its solid-state structure. The as-synthesized MOF exhibited remarkable adsorption capacity towards various organic dyes, including Congo red (CR), rhodamine B (RhB), and methyl violet (MV), due to its ample surface area and strong π-π interactions between the pyrene moieties and dye molecules, as demonstrated by experimental and in silico docking studies. The photocatalytic degradation of MV dye was also investigated. Detailed trapping tests indicate that hydroxyl (˙OH) and superoxide (O2˙-) radicals are likely the primary active species responsible for the photodegradation of the dye under study. Furthermore, the photocatalytic property of the MOF was investigated under visible light irradiation, demonstrating excellent ability to generate singlet oxygen. This study highlights the potential of pyrene-appended Zn(II)-based MOFs as promising materials for environmental remediation applications.

Abstract
High-entropy materials (HEMs) emerged as promising candidates for a diverse array of chemical transformations, including CO2 utilization. However, traditional HEMs catalysts are nonporous, limiting their activity to surface sites. Designing HEMs with intrinsic porosity can open the door toward enhanced reactivity while maintaining the many benefits of high configurational entropy. Here, a synergistic experimental, analytical, and theoretical approach to design the first high-entropy metal-organic frameworks (HEMOFs) derived from polynuclear metal clusters is implemented, a novel class of porous HEMs that is highly active for CO2 fixation under mild conditions and short reaction times, outperforming existing heterogeneous catalysts. HEMOFs with up to 15 distinct metals are synthesized (the highest number of metals ever incorporated into a single MOF) and, for the first time, homogenous metal mixing within individual clusters is directly observed via high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. Importantly, density functional theory studies provide unprecedented insight into the electronic structures of HEMOFs, demonstrating that the density of states in heterometallic clusters is highly sensitive to metal composition. This work dramatically advances HEMOF materials design, paving the way for further exploration of HEMs and offers new avenues for the development of multifunctional materials with tailored properties for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
There has been significant attention on the efficient degradation of pollutants in wastewater using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) photocatalytic methods over the past decade. Herein, we examined the elimination of two different types of water-contaminating dyes, specifically cationic dye methylene blue (MB) and anionic dye methyl orange (MO), through the application of bimetal Cu/Ni-BTC@SiO2 MOF as high performance photocatalyst. The bimetal Cu/Ni-BTC@SiO2 photocatalyst was synthesized and characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, TGA, BET, DRS, and VSM techniques. The examination of the impact of different operational factors on the elimination of pollutants involved a comprehensive analysis of variables including the photocatalyst type, initial pollutant concentration, quantity of photocatalyst, and pH levels. The highest removal efficiency for MO and MB dyes by the photocatalyst was found to be 98 and 71%, respectively, within 60 min. In the fifth reaction stage, degradation efficiency for MO and MB was 76 and 56% respectively. Kinetic investigations demonstrated that, in the context of the uptake of MB and MO dyes, the interparticle diffusion, and pseudo-second-order models emerged as possessing the most robust correlation coefficients with the experimental data, registering values of 0.988 and 0.961, respectively. The examination of isotherms reveals that the isotherm models proposed by BET, and Anderson (V) demonstrate the highest level of conformity with the empirical data for the decomposition of MB and MO dyes, correspondingly. The TOC levels decreased significantly from 51 to 14 and 47 to 3 mg/L for MB and MO dyes, indicating the effective mineralization process using Cu/Ni-BTC@SiO2.

Abstract
As one of the seldom explored systems, molybdenum-based metal-organic frameworks (Mo-MOFs) with different ligands such as terephthalic acid (Mo-TA), 2-aminoterephthalic acid (Mo-ATA), benzenetricarboxylic acid (Mo-BTC), 2-methylimidazole (Mo-2MI), 2-bipyridine (Mo-2bpy), and 4-bipyridine (Mo-4bpy) were developed in this study. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and attenuated total reflectance-infrared (ATR-IR) analyses confirmed the ligand-dependent crystal structure of the Mo-MOFs along with the characteristic functional groups present in the respective systems. Interestingly, the morphology of all of these the developed Mo-MOFs was found to be a one-dimensional rod-like structure, which was attributed to the binding nature of the ligands onto the growing Mo-frameworks. Optical analysis indicated that all these Mo-MOFs exhibit ultraviolet (UV) light absorption properties with band gap energy in the range of 3.47-3.03 eV. Among the various Mo-MOFs developed, Mo-4bpy MOF degraded a maximum of ∼76 and 62% of malachite green and Congo red dyes, respectively, under sunlight irradiation. The observed improved photocatalytic efficiency of Mo-4bpy MOF was attributed to its appropriate band edge potential, confirmed by Mott-Schottky analysis, improved carrier lifetime (∼34.6 ns) estimated using the time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectrum, presence of elements with stable oxidation states in the system confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), improved charge transfer characteristics, and decreased recombination resistance, as confirmed by impedance and PL analyses, respectively. The degradation of Mo-4bpy MOFs mediated by superoxide (•O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH•) was further confirmed by scavenger studies. Cyclic studies performed for up to 5 cycles suggested that the degradation efficiency of the Mo-4bpy MOF was stable, attributed to its excellent structural, optical, and morphological features confirmed via postcharacterization of the recycled photocatalyst.

Abstract
Combining zinc nitrate with 3- and/or 4- aminocinnamic acid (3-ACA and 4-ACA, respectively) leads to the formation of the 0D complex [Zn(4-AC)2(H2O)2], the 1D coordination polymer [Zn(3-AC)(4-AC)], and the 2D and 3D MOFs [Zn(3-AC)2]∙2H2O and [Zn(4-AC)2]∙H2O, respectively. These compounds result from the deprotonation of the acid molecules, with the resulting 3- and 4-aminocinnamate anions serving as bidentate terminal or bridging ligands. All solids were fully characterized via single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction and thermal techniques. Given the mild antimicrobial properties of cinnamic acid derivatives and the antibacterial nature of the metal cation, these compounds were assessed and demonstrated very good planktonic cell killing as well as inhibition of biofilm growth against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
In the context of global warming, increasingly widespread and frequent freezing and thawing cycles (FTCs) will have profound effects on the biogeochemical cycling of soil carbon and nitrogen. FTCs can increase soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reducing the stability of soil aggregates, promoting the release of dissolved organic carbon, decreasing the number of microorganisms, inducing cell rupture, and releasing carbon and nitrogen nutrients for use by surviving microorganisms. However, the similarity and disparity of the mechanisms potentially contributing to changes in GHGs have not been systematically evaluated. The present study consolidates the most recent findings on the dynamics of soil carbon and nitrogen, as well as GHGs, in relation to FTCs. Additionally, it analyzes the impact of FTCs on soil GHGs in a systematic manner. In this study, particular emphasis is given to the following: (i) the reaction mechanism involved; (ii) variations in soil composition in different types of land (e.g., forest, peatland, farmland, and grassland); (iii) changes in soil structure in response to cycles of freezing temperatures; (iv) alterations in microbial biomass and community structure that may provide further insight into the fluctuations in GHGs after FTCs. The challenges identified included the extension of laboratory-scale research to ecosystem scales, the performance of in-depth investigation of the coupled effects of carbon, nitrogen, and water in the freeze-thaw process, and analysis of the effects of FTCs through the use of integrated research tools. The results of this study can provide a valuable point of reference for future experimental designs and scientific investigations and can also assist in the analysis of the attributes of GHG emissions from soil and the ecological consequences of the factors that influence these emissions in the context of global permafrost warming.

Abstract
Recently, composite materials consisting of ionic liquids (ILs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted a great deal of attention due to their fantastic properties. Many theoretical studies have been performed on their special structures and gas separation applications. Yet, the mechanism for the diffusion of ILs inside MOF channels still remains unclear. Here, the DFT calculations (e.g., rigid and relaxed potential energy surface, PES, scan) together with frontier orbital analysis, natural charge analysis, and energy decomposition analysis were performed to investigate the diffusion behavior of a typical IL, [C4mim][PF6], into the ZIF-8 SOD cage. The PES profiles indicate that it is quite difficult for the cation [C4min]+ to diffuse into the cage of ZIF-8 through the pristine pores because of the large imidazole steric hindrance, which results in a large energy barrier of ca. 40 kcal·mol-1 at the least. Interestingly, the PES reveals that a successful diffusion could be obtained by thermal contributions, which enlarge the pore size through swing effects at higher temperatures. For example, both [C4mim]+ and [PF6]- could easily diffuse through the channel of the ZIF-8 SOD cage when the pore size was increased to 6.9 Å. Subsequently, electronic structure analyses reveal that the main interactions between [PF6]- or [C4mim]+ and ZIF-8 are the steric repulsion interactions. Finally, the effects of the amounts of [C4mim][PF6] on the ZIF-8 structures were investigated, and the results show that two pairs of [C4mim][PF6] per SOD cage are the most stable in terms of the interaction between energies and structural changes. With these findings, we propose that the high-temperature technique could be employed during the synthesis of IL@MOF membranes, to enrich their family members and their industrial applications.

Abstract
The pyrolysis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a promising route to synthesize carbon/metal oxide-based materials with diverse phase compositions, morphologies, sizes and surface areas. In this paper, 1,3,5-benzoic acid (BTC) and 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridinyl)-1-pyridine (TPP) were used as ligands to prepare a novel cobalt-based MOF (Co-MOF) which was used as a precursor to obtain five carbon-based materials at different temperatures (Co-C200/400/600/800/1000). Furthermore, five dyes were used as degradation targets to investigate the photocatalytic degradation performance of the title materials under UV light irradiation. Co-C1000 exhibited the best photocatalytic degradation performance for methyl orange (MO), and the degradation rate could reach 99.21%. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was attributed to narrower band-gaps and a synergistic effect originating from the well-aligned straddling band structures between Co/CoO/Co3O4 and C, also resulting in a faster interfacial charge transfer during the photocatalytic reaction. This study will aid in the development of photocatalysts generated from carbon-based materials via the pyrolysis transformation of MOFs, therefore greatly enhancing the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The coordination polymer was obtained based on cobalt trimesinate. It was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The polymer was studied as a sorbent for solid-phase extraction of tetracycline antibiotics. Cobalt trimesinate had a high adsorption capacity (400 mg/g). Antibiotic adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model. The process proceeded spontaneously, as indicated by the calculated thermodynamic parameters. The resulting coordination polymer has good stability and recyclability. The possibility of using cobalt trimesinate for the determination of tetracycline in various milk samples was investigated. This work holds great promise for the development and application of a cobalt trimesinate-based coordination polymer for use in sample preparation to replace the time-consuming vacuum evaporation procedure with a relatively simple solid-phase extraction procedure.
