TL;DR: Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8, for the first time for ZIFs, exhibits a remarkable capacity for the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and presents a pH-triggered controlled drug release property.

TL;DR: A chiral nanoporous metal-organic framework (MOF) with high porosity is obtained based on nontoxic zinc and achiral hexadentate ligand showing high drug loading and slow release of the proportion of the loaded drug with a complete delivery time of about one week.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of a large number of uncoordinated nitrogen atoms from aromatic rings for CO2 adsorption in ZMOFs was investigated, and it was shown that the high percentage of open N-donor sites leads to the high uptake capacity for CO 2, even in the absence of any NH2 groups and open metal sites.

TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, it is the first time these polyoxoniobate clusters have been crystallized with only alkali-metal counterions, thereby giving them the possibility of being redissolved in water.

TL;DR: With step by step increasing of the amount of organic amine, the transformation of Cu(II) ions into Cu(I) ones in different degrees in POMs-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the first time is achieved.
