TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a heterogeneous catalysts based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the first time, and demonstrated that the well-defined structure of these molecular materials enables the creation of high-quality catalysts.

TL;DR: This work represents the first quantitative study of the dynamics of molecular diffusion into solvent-filled MOF channels and finds 4-MeOPhNPh(2) can enter the MOF channel via a slow, complicated framework/guest intercalation process to result in extensive framework distortion as revealed by powder X-ray diffraction.

TL;DR: Self-assembled zinc oxide (ZnO) and indium-doping zinc oxide:In nanorod thin films were synthesized on quartz substrates without catalyst in aqueous solution by sol-gel method and illustrated that there were no single In2O3 phase in ZnO lattice after indium doping.

TL;DR: Two metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to efficiently convert X-ray to visible-light luminescence are designed via synergisticX-ray absorption by the metal-cluster SBUs and optical emission by the bridging ligands.

TL;DR: A Europium-containing metal-organic framework is constructed that selectively converts CO2 to formate with light and highlights opportunities in photo-generation of highly active lanthanide clusters stabilized in MOFs, which not only enables efficient photocatalysis but also facilitates mechanistic investigation of photo-driven charge separation processes.
