TL;DR: A series of novel lanthanide metal-organic frameworks were synthesized using a ligand featuring three carboxylate groups stationed on a triazinyl central motif, allowing for complexation of incoming metal ions.

TL;DR: With careful adjustment of the relative concentration of the lanthanide ions, the color of the luminescence can be modulated, and white light-emission can indeed be achieved.

TL;DR: Results from detailed structural analyses, comparative measurements of conductivities using regular and deuterated samples, anisotropic conductivity measurements using a single-crystal sample, and variable-temperature photoluminescence studies collectively establish that the protons furnished by the Eu(III)-bound and activated aqua ligands are the charge carriers.

TL;DR: The significantly enhanced performance against the control K(6)[P(2)W(18)O(62)] can be attributed to the modulation of the electronic structures of these novel POMs by Ta incorporation.

TL;DR: Modulating the facets of a crystalline MOF NENU-3a is presented to enhance the facet exposure of the catalytic sites and the adsorption of substrates to achieve enhanced catalysis for sterically demanding substrates that are otherwise hard to diffuse into the pores.
