The regulation research of topology and magnetic exchange models of CPs through Co(II) concentration adjustment

Nanosized hierarchical TS-1 zeolites with intercrystalline and intracrystalline meso-/macropores have been successfully synthesised by amino acid-assisted strategy under two-step rota-crystallization conditions. Compared to micron-sized microporous TS-1 zeolites, amino acid-directed hierarchical materials exhibit remarkably enhanced catalytic activity in oxidative desulfurization reactions owing to the improved accessibility of reactants to the microporous space of zeolites.

An amino acid-assisted approach to fabricate nanosized hierarchical TS-1 zeolites for efficient oxidative desulfurization

With the development of society, traumatic bone defects caused by accidents, diseases and surgeries have become common, eventually resulting in an increase in bone defects. The treatment of bone defects is characterized by a long period of treatment, high cost and uncontrollable outcomes. Also, it results in complications such as infection and bone discontinuity. Hence, due to this situation, the physical, mental and financial aspects of the patient are severely affected. What's more, such outcomes pose a challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. As a result, bone therapy and bone repair have become a hot topic of interest. In repairing bone defects, materials other than autogenous bone are still unable to provide good biocompatibility, osteogenesis, osteoconductivity and osteoinduction properties at the same time. In addition, the scarcity of autologous bone sources has forced the search for new autologous bone replacement materials. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of developed functional materials that have been widely used in the biomedical field during the recent years due to their porous nature, large specific surface area and diverse structures. With the progress in the investigation into bone treatment and repair, more and more investigators are using MOFs in bone therapy and bone repair. With these viewpoints, in the present perspective, the use of MOFs in bone therapy and bone repair has been summarized, and an insight into the future of MOFs in bone therapy and bone repair has been provided.

Current status and prospects of metal-organic frameworks for bone therapy and bone repair.

With the continuous evolution of bacteria and the constant use of traditional antibiotics, the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and super viruses has attracted worldwide attention. Antimicrobial therapy has become the most popular and important research field at present. Coordination Polymer (CP) and/or metal-organic framework (MOF) platforms have the advantages of a high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity, have a great antibacterial potential and have been widely used in antibacterial treatment. This paper reviewed the mechanism and antibacterial effect of three typical MOFs (pure Ag-MOFs, hybrid Ag-MOFs, and Ag-containing-polymer @MOFs) in silver-based coordination polymers. At the same time, the existing shortcomings and future views are briefly discussed. The study on the antibacterial efficacy and mechanism of Ag-MOFs can provide a better basis for its clinical application and, meanwhile, open up a novel strategy for the preparation of more advanced Ag-contained materials with antibacterial characteristics.

Recent advances in nano-architectonics of metal-organic frameworks for chemodynamic therapy

Hierarchical silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-34 zeolites with larger secondary pores were successfully prepared using a chemical etching route with triethylamine (TEA) aqueous solution under hydrothermal conditions. In comparison with their parent counterpart, the obtained hierarchical SAPO-34 zeolites exhibited a similar chemical composition and showed remarkably enhanced catalytic lifetime and selectivity in the MTO reaction.
