TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on two main strategies for stabilization of the porous phase of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): using inert metal ions or increasing the heterolytic metal-ligand bond strength.

TL;DR: Modulation of the onset of pore-filling in a family of metal–organic frameworks with record water sorption capacities by employing anion exchange is demonstrated and it is suggested that, in the presence of strong nucleation sites, the thermodynamic favorability of water pores depends more strongly on the pore diameter and the interface between water in the center of the pores than the hydrophilicity of thepore wall itself.

TL;DR: Control experiments indicated that neither MCl(3) (M = Al, Fe) nor TEMPO are capable of effecting the oxidation of alcohols independently.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate biomimetic behavior of Zn hydroxide moieties inside a MOF with structural and reactivity characteristics of carbonic anhydrase, and they provide the strongest evidence yet of metal nodes in MOFs bearing high structural fidelity to enzymatic active sites.

TL;DR: Control of the relative humidity of water uptake is demonstrated by modulating the pore size in a family of isoreticular triazolate metal-organic frameworks using a pair of materials with stepped, nonoverlapping water isotherms that can function in tandem to provide continuous cooling.
