Carbon Dioxide Capture in Metal–Organic Frameworks

Synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): routes to various MOF topologies, morphologies, and composites.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a unique class of crystalline solids comprised of metal cations (or metal clusters) and organic ligands that have shown promise for a wide variety of applications Over the past 15 years, research and development of these materials have become one of the most intensely and extensively pursued areas A very interesting and well-investigated topic is their optical emission properties and related applications Several reviews have provided a comprehensive overview covering many aspects of the subject up to 2011 This review intends to provide an update of work published since then and focuses on the photoluminescence (PL) properties of MOFs and their possible utility in chemical and biological sensing and detection The spectrum of this review includes the origin of luminescence in MOFs, the advantages of luminescent MOF (LMOF) based sensors, general strategies in designing sensory materials, and examples of various applications in sensing and detection

Thermodynamic analysis of the breathing of amino-functionalized MIL-53(Al) upon CO2 adsorption

The metal–organic framework NH2-MIL-53(In) shows a very high amorphization resistance (>20 GPa) together with a large compressibility (K0 = 10.9 GPa).

In this work an unambiguous proof of post-synthetic solvent-assisted cation exchange in the robust metal–organic framework MIL-101(Cr) is reported Such substitution can alter directly the secondary building unit, which often defines the properties of the material

Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) both utilize light to induce a therapeutic effect. These therapies are rapidly gaining importance due to the noninvasiveness of light and the limited adverse effect associated with these treatments. However, most preclinical studies show that complete elimination of tumors is rarely observed. Combining PDT and PTT with chemotherapy or radiotherapy can improve the therapeutic outcome and simultaneously decrease side effects of these conventional treatments. Nanocarriers can help to facilitate such a combined treatment. Here, the most recent advancements in the field of photochemotherapy and photoradiotherapy, in which nanocarriers are employed, are reviewed.

Chemical clocks are often used as exciting classroom experiments, where an induction time is followed by rapidly changing colours that expose oscillating concentration patterns. This type of reaction belongs to a class of nonlinear chemical kinetics also linked to chaos, wave propagation and Turing patterns. Despite its vastness in occurrence and applicability, the clock reaction is only well understood for liquid-state processes. Here we report a chemical clock reaction, in which a solidifying entity, metal-organic framework UiO-66, displays oscillations in crystal dimension and number, as shown by X-ray scattering. In rationalizing this result, we introduce a computational approach, the metal-organic molecular orbital methodology, to pinpoint interaction between the tectonic building blocks that construct the metal-organic framework material. In this way, we show that hydrochloric acid plays the role of autocatalyst, bridging separate processes of condensation and crystallization.
