TL;DR: Seven novel 3D homo- and hetero-MOFs with a rich variety of network topologies synthesized hydrothermally based on a single 5-methylisophthalic acid ligand indicate that all of the compounds exhibit photoluminescence in the solid state at room temperature.

TL;DR: The very promise for the highly sensitive sensing for polyoxometalates, together with the characteristic of the reversible fluorescence response, suggest that solid-state tip-Eu can be an excellent candidate for the directly photoluminescent detection of POMs in aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: The comparative study reveals that aliphatic amines and aromatic species contribute differently to the crystal and electronic structures, and the properties of the hybrids, while 1-4 exhibit interesting water induced structure conversions, while 5 and 6 can be used as heterogeneous photocatalysts for dye wastewater treatment under visible light irradiation.

TL;DR: In this paper, three new hybrid Iodoargentates (H2pipe)0.5(α-AgI2) (1), (Me2teda)2+ (2), and (H 2dpe)2 + (3) have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions, whereby the aliphatic organic cations (Piperazine, teda, triethylenediamine) and conjugated organic cation(H2dpe), respectively, exhibit different contributions to both the crystal and electronic structures.

TL;DR: The studies highlight the structural diversity of multigonal-prismatic metal coordination cages and provide a new direction in the design of cagelike multifunctional materials by the introduction of lanthanide clusters and other suitable cliplike ligands.
