TLDR
This work has shown that highly porous frameworks held together by strong metal–oxygen–carbon bonds and with exceptionally large surface area and capacity for gas storage have been prepared and their pore metrics systematically varied and functionalized.Abstract:
The long-standing challenge of designing and constructing new crystalline solid-state materials from molecular building blocks is just beginning to be addressed with success. A conceptual approach that requires the use of secondary building units to direct the assembly of ordered frameworks epitomizes this process: we call this approach reticular synthesis. This chemistry has yielded materials designed to have predetermined structures, compositions and properties. In particular, highly porous frameworks held together by strong metal-oxygen-carbon bonds and with exceptionally large surface area and capacity for gas storage have been prepared and their pore metrics systematically varied and functionalized.read more

TL;DR: The incorporation of the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin into the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) with high-load and progressive release is reported and it is shown that the complex doxorbicin-Zif-8 exhibits lower cytotoxicity than pureDoxorubsicin for the tested cells, possibly due to the slower release of the incorporated drug.

Coligand Modulated Six-, Eight-, and Ten-Connected Zn/ Cd-1,2,4-Triazolate Frameworks Based on Mono-, Bi-, Tri-, Penta-, and Heptanuclear Cluster Units
TL;DR: Using nonsubstituted 1,2,4-triazole and the second bridging ligands as coligands, a series of three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks based on different secondary building units (SBUs) were synthesized and structurally characterized with the aid of single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Combination of MOFs and Zeolites for Mixed-Matrix Membranes
TL;DR: Mixed-matrix membranes were prepared by combinations of two different kinds of porous fillers [metal-organic frameworks HKUST-1 and ZIF-8, and zeolite silicalite-1] and polysulfone and found important selectivity improvements with the HKust-1-silicalites-1 system.

TL;DR: Metal-organic framework (MOF-5), a prototype of a new class of porous materials and one that is constructed from octahedral Zn-O-C clusters and benzene links, was used to demonstrate that its three-dimensional porous system can be functionalized with the organic groups and can be expanded with the long molecular struts biphenyl, tetrahydropyrene, pyrene, and terphenyl.
