While bulk-sized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) face limits to their utilization in various research fields such as energy storage applications, nanoarchitectonics is believed be a possible solution.
Abstract Controlling the shape of metal–organic framework (MOF) crystals is important for understanding their crystallization and useful myriad applications. However, despite many advances in shaping inorganic nanoparticles, post‐synthetic control MOFs and, general, molecular remains embryonic. Herein, we report using a simple wet‐chemistry process at room temperature to anisotropic etching colloidal ZIF‐8 ZIF‐67 crystals. Our work enables uniform reshaping these porous materials into...
Accurate, noninvasive, and self‐referenced temperature measurements at the submicrometer scale are of great interest, prompted by ever‐growing demands in fields nanotechnology nanomedicine. The thermal dependence phosphor's luminescence provides high detection sensitivity spatial resolution with short acquisition times in, e.g., biological fluids, strong electromagnetic fields, fast‐moving objects.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are among the most attractive porous materials available today. They have garnered much attention for their potential utility in many different areas such as gas storage, separation, catalysis, and biomedicine. However, very little is known about possible health or environmental risks of these materials. Here, results toxicity studies on sixteen representative uncoated MOF nanoparticles (nanoMOFs), which were assessed cytotoxicity to HepG2 MCF7 cells vitro,...
Abstract Designed porosity in coordination materials often relies on highly ordered crystalline networks, which provide stability upon solvent removal. However, the requirement for crystallinity impedes control of higher degrees morphological versatility, or processing. Herein, we describe a supramolecular approach to synthesis amorphous polymer with controlled microporosity. The strategy entails use robust metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) as porous monomers polymerization reaction. Detailed...
ConspectusMetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic (COFs) are among the most attractive porous materials today. They exhibit outstanding porosity for countless applications such as gas storage, CO2 capture, separation, sensing, drug delivery, catalysis. Moreover, researchers have recently begun to combine MOFs or COFs with other functional obtain composites that boast respective strengths, mitigate weaknesses, of each component, enabling enhanced performance in many...
The upbuilding of dirhodium tetracarboxylate paddlewheels into porous architectures is still challenging because the inertness equatorial carboxylates for ligand-exchange reaction. Here we demonstrate synthesis a new family metal-organic cuboctahedra by connecting units through 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate and assembling as solids. Carbon monoxide nitric oxide were strongly trapped in internal cavity thanks to strong affinity unsaturated axial coordination sites centers.

Carbon monoxide-releasing metal–organic frameworks are developed for investigating gas biology at the single cell level.
Many metal-organic frameworks are water labile, including the iconic Hong-Kong University of Science and Technology-1 (HKUST-1). Spray-dry encapsulation HKUST-1 crystals into polystyrene microspheres is reported here to yield composites that resistant but retain most excellent gas sorption capacity HKUST-1. These demonstrated exhibit superior adsorption/desorption cycling, maintaining level uptake even after three cycles. As a service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) usually require meticulous removal of the solvent molecules to unlock their potential porosity. Herein, we report a novel one-step method for activating MOFs based on photothermal effect induced by directly irradiating them with UV-vis lamp. The localized light-to-heat conversion produced in MOF crystals upon irradiation enables very fast removal, thereby significantly reducing activation time as low 30 min and suppressing need time-consuming solvent-exchange...

Porous molecular cages have a characteristic processability arising from their solubility, which allows incorporation into porous materials. Attaining solubility often requires covalently bound functional groups that are unnecessary for porosity and ultimately occupy free volume in the materials, decreasing surface areas. Here, method is described takes advantage of coordination bonds metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) to render insoluble MOPs soluble by reversibly attaching an...
Abstract Use of preformed metal‐organic polyhedra (MOPs) as supermolecular building blocks (SBBs) for the synthesis frameworks (MOFs) remains underexplored due to lack robust functionalized MOPs.
