Two-Dimensional Conjugated Metal-Organic Frameworks with Large Pore Apertures and High Surface Areas for NO2 Selective Chemiresistive Sensing

The emergence of two-dimensional conjugated metal–organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) with pronounced electrical properties (e.g., high conductivity) has provided a novel platform for efficient energy storage, sensing, and electrocatalysis. Nevertheless, the limited availability of suitable ligands restricts the number of available types of 2D c-MOFs, especially those with large pore apertures and high surface areas are rare. Herein, we develop two new 2D c-MOFs (HIOTP-M, M=Ni, Cu) employing a large p-π conjugated ligand of hexaamino-triphenyleno[2,3-b:6,7-b′:10,11-b′′]tris[1,4]benzodioxin (HAOTP). Among the reported 2D c-MOFs, HIOTP-Ni exhibits the largest pore size of 3.3 nm and one of the highest surface areas (up to 1300 m² g⁻¹). As an exemplary application, HIOTP-Ni has been used as a chemiresistive sensing material and displays high selective response (405 %) and a rapid response (1.69 min) towards 10 ppm NO₂ gas. This work demonstrates significant correlation linking the pore aperture of 2D c-MOFs to their sensing performance.

Pore Geometry and Surface Engineering of Covalent Organic Frameworks for Anhydrous Proton Conduction

Developing new materials for anhydrous proton conduction under high-temperature conditions is significant and challenging. Herein, we create a series of highly crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) via a pore engineering approach. We simultaneously engineer the pore geometry (generating concave dodecagonal nanopores) and pore surface (installing multiple functional groups such as −C=N−, −OH, −N=N− and −CF₃) to improve the utilization efficiency and host–guest interaction of proton carriers, hence benefiting the enhancement of anhydrous proton conduction. Upon loading with H₃PO₄, COFs can realize a proton conductivity of 2.33×10⁻² S cm⁻¹ under anhydrous conditions, among the highest values of all COF materials. These materials demonstrate good stability and maintain high proton conductivity over a wide temperature range (80–160 °C). This work paves a new way for designing COFs for anhydrous proton conduction applications, which shows great potential as high-temperature proton exchange membranes.

Self‐Assembly of Metal–Organic Frameworks into Monolithic Materials with Highly Controlled Trimodal Pore Structures

We present a two‐step template‐free approach toward monolithic materials with controlled trimodal porous structures with macro‐, meso‐, and micropores. Our method relies on two ordering processes in discrete length scales: 1) Spontaneous formation of macroporous structures in monolithic materials by the sol–gel process through the short‐range ordered self‐assembly of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and 2) reorganization of the framework structures in a mediator solution. The Zr‐terephthalate‐based MOF (UiO‐66‐NH₂) was adopted as a proof of concept. The self‐assembly‐induced phase separation process offered interconnected macropores with diameters ranging from 0.9 to 1.8 μm. The subsequent reorganization process converted the microporous structure from low crystalline framework to crystalline UiO‐66. The resultant mesopore size within the skeletons was controlled in the range from 9 to 21 nm. This approach provides a novel way of designing spaces from nano‐ to micrometer scale in network‐forming materials.     

Highly Porous Metalloporphyrin Covalent Ionic Frameworks with Well-Defined Cooperative Functional Groups as Excellent Catalysts for CO2 Cycloaddition

The development of multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts with high porosity and remarkable catalytic activity still remains a challenge. Herein, four highly porous metalloporphyrin covalent ionic frameworks (CIFs) were synthesized by coupling 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (TNPP) with 3,8-diamino-6-phenylphenanithridine (NPPN) or 5,5′-diamino-2,2′-bipyridine (NBPy) followed by ionization with bromoethane (C₂H₅Br) or dibromoethane (C₂H₄Br₂) and then metalization with Zn or Co. The resulting CIFs showed high efficiency in catalyzing the cycloaddition of propylene oxide (PO) with CO₂ to form propylene carbonate (PC). All of the Zn-containing CIF catalysts were able to catalyze the cycloaddition reaction with a PC yield greater than 97 %. The TNPP/NBPy (CIF2) catalyst ionized with C₂H₄Br₂ and metalized with Zn (Zn-CIF2-C₂H₄) exhibited the highest catalytic activity among the synthesized catalysts. The high catalytic performance of Zn-CIF2-C₂H₄ is related to its high porosity (577 m² g⁻¹), high Br:metal ratio (1:3.89), and excellent synergistic action between the Lewis acidic Zn sites and the nucleophilic Br⁻ ions. Zn-CIF2-C₂H₄ is sufficiently stable that greater than 94 % PC yield could be obtained even after six cycles. In addition, Zn-CIF2-C₂H₄ could catalyze the cycloaddition of several other epoxides with CO₂. These highly porous materials are promising multifunctional and efficient catalysts for industrially relevant reactions.     

Preparation of Fluorescent Organometallic Porphyrin Complex Nanogels of Controlled Molecular Structure via Reverse‐Emulsion Click Chemistry

Here, we are the first to report a novel approach to preparing well‐defined poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) fluorescent nanogels, with well‐defined molecular structures and desired functionalities via reverse (mini)emulsion copper(I)‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (REM‐CuAAC). Nanogels with hydroxyl groups and Ga‐porphyrin complex (Ga‐porphyrin‐OH nanogels), as well as with Ga‐porphyrin complex and folate functional groups (Ga‐porphyrin‐FA), are successfully prepared. Nanogels of 30 and 120 nm in diameter are obtained and they exhibit an emission maxima within the wavelength range 700–800 nm. The nanogels could find uses in near infrared (NIR) imaging attributable to their fluorescence and their functionality for cell affinity.     

Bioinspired Design of a Robust Elastomer with Adaptive Recovery via Triazolinedione Click Chemistry

It is a significant but challenging task to simultaneously reinforce and functionalize diene rubbers. Inspired by “sacrificial bonds”, the authors engineer sacrificial hydrogen bonds formed by pendent urazole groups in crosslinked solution‐polymerized styrene butadiene rubber (SSBR) via triazolinedione click chemistry. This post‐crosslinking modification reveals the effects of the sacrificial bonds based on a consistent covalent network. The “cage effect” of the pre‐crosslinked network facilitates the heterogeneous distribution of urazole groups, leading to the formation of hydrogen‐bonded multiplets. These multiplets further aggregate into clusters with vicinal trapped polymer segments that form microphase separation from the SSBR matrix with a low content of urazole groups. The clusters based on hydrogen bonds, serving as sacrificial bonds, promote energy dissipation, significantly improving the mechanical properties of the modified SSBR, and enable an additional wide transition temperature region above room temperature, which endows the modified SSBR with promising triple‐shape memory behavior.

     

Integration of Metal-Organic Frameworks with Bi-Nanoprobes as Dual-Emissive Ratiometric Sensors for Fast and Highly Sensitive Determination of Food Hazards

Functional nanoprobes which detect specific food hazards quickly and simply are still in high demand in the field of food-safety inspection research. In the present work, a dual-emission metal-organic framework-based ratiometric fluorescence probe was integrated to detect Cu²⁺ and Pb²⁺ with rapidness and ease. Specifically, quantum dots (QDs) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were successfully embedded into zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) to function as a novel ratiometric fluorescent sensing composite. The ratiometric fluorescence signal of CQDs/QDs@ZIF-67 was significantly aligned with the concentration of metal ions to give an extremely low detection limit of 0.3324 nM. The highly sensitive and selective CQDs/QDs@ZIF-67 composite showed potential for the rapid and cost-effective detection of two metal ions.

The Analysis of Pore Development and Formation of Surface Functional Groups in Bamboo-Based Activated Carbon during CO2 Activation

Pore development and the formation of oxygen functional groups were studied for activated carbon prepared from bamboo (Bambusa bambos) using a two-step activation with CO₂, as functions of carbonization temperature and activation conditions (time and temperature). Results show that activated carbon produced from bamboo contains mostly micropores in the pore size range of 0.65 to 1.4 nm. All porous properties of activated carbons increased with the increase in the activation temperature over the range from 850 to 950 °C, but decreased in the temperature range of 950 to 1000 °C, due principally to the merging of neighboring pores. The increase in the activation time also increased the porous properties linearly from 60 to 90 min, which then dropped from 90 to 120 min. It was found that the carbonization temperature played an important role in determining the number and distribution of active sites for CO₂ gasification during the activation process. Empirical equations were proposed to conveniently predict all important porous properties of the prepared activated carbons in terms of carbonization temperature and activation conditions. Oxygen functional groups formed during the carbonization and activation steps of activated carbon synthesis and their contents were dependent on the preparation conditions employed. Using Boehm’s titration technique, only phenolic and carboxylic groups were detected for the acid functional groups in both the chars and activated carbons in varying amounts. Empirical correlations were also developed to estimate the total contents of the acid and basic groups in activated carbons in terms of the carbonization temperature, activation time and temperature.     

Isostructural Nanocluster Manipulation Reveals Pivotal Role of One Surface Atom in Click Chemistry

Elucidating single-atom effects on the fundamental properties of nanoparticles is challenging because single-atom modifications are typically accompanied by appreciable changes to the overall particle's structure. Herein, we report the synthesis of a [Cu₅₈H₂₀PET₃₆(PPh₃)₄]²⁺ ( Cu₅₈ ; PET: phenylethanethiolate; PPh₃: triphenylphosphine) nanocluster—an atomically precise nanoparticle—that can be transformed into the surface-defective analog [Cu₅₇H₂₀PET₃₆(PPh₃)₄]⁺ ( Cu₅₇ ). Both nanoclusters are virtually identical, with five concentric metal shells, save for one missing surface copper atom in Cu₅₇ . Remarkably, the loss of this single surface atom drastically alters the reactivity of the nanocluster. In contrast to Cu₅₈ , Cu₅₇ shows promising activity for click chemistry, particularly photoinduced [3+2] azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AAC), which is attributed to the active catalytic site in Cu₅₇ after the removal of one surface copper atom. Our study not only presents a unique system for uncovering the effect of a single-surface atom modification on nanoparticle properties but also showcases single-atom surface modification as a powerful means for designing nanoparticle catalysts.

PE-CVD of Organic Thin Films with Controlled Surface Concentration of Carboxylic Groups

Organic thin films have been deposited onto various substrates by means of radiofrequency glow discharges fed with acrylic acid vapors. The effect of the experimental parameters on film composition has been investigated with X-ray Photoelectron and FT-IR spectroscopies; Optical Emission Spectroscopy has been carried out for plasma phase characterization.

Highly Luminescent Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks with Tunable Color for Nanomolar Detection of Iron(III), Ofloxacin and Gossypol and Anti-counterfeiting Applications

Solvothermal reaction of 5,5′-(pyridine-2,6-diylbis(oxy))diisophthalic acid (H₄L) with europium(III) or terbium(III) nitrates in acetonitrile-water (1 : 1) at 120 °C gave rise to isostructural 2D coordination polymers, [Ln(HL)(H₂O)₃]_∞ ( NIIC-1-Eu and NIIC-1-Tb ), the layers of which are composed by eight-coordinated lanthanide(III) ions interconnected by triply deprotonated ligands HL³⁻. The layers are packed in the crystal without any specific intermolecular interactions between them, allowing the facile preparation of stable water suspensions, in which NIIC-1-Tb exhibited top-performing sensing properties through luminescence quenching effect with exceptionally low detection limits towards Fe³⁺ (LOD 8.62 nM), ofloxacin (OFX) antibiotic (LOD 3.91 nM) and cotton phytotoxicant gossypol (LOD 2.27 nM). In addition to low detection limit and high selectivity, NIIC-1-Tb features fast sensing response (within 60–90 seconds), making it superior to other MOF-based sensors for metal cations and organic toxicants. The photoluminescence quantum yield of NIIC-1-Tb was 93 %, one of the highest among lanthanide MOFs. Mixed-metal coordination polymers NIIC-1-Eu_xTb_1−x demonstrated efficient photoluminescence, the color of which could be modulated by the excitation wavelength and time delay for emission monitoring (within 1 millisecond). Furthermore, an original 2D QR-coding scheme was designed for anti-counterfeiting labeling of goods based on unique and tunable emission spectra of NIIC-1-Ln coordination polymers.     

Generation of Silicone Poly‐HIPEs with Controlled Pore Sizes via Reactive Emulsion Stabilization

Macrocellular silicone polymers are obtained after solidification of the continuous phase of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) emulsion, which contains poly(ethylene glycol) drops of sub‐millimetric dimensions. Coalescence of the liquid template emulsion is prohibited by a reactive blending approach. The relationship is investigated in detail between the interfacial properties and the emulsion stability, and micro‐ and millifluidic techniques are used to generate macrocellular polymers with controlled structural properties over a wider range of cell sizes (0.2–2 mm) and volume fractions of the continuous phase (0.1%–40%). This approach could easily be transferred to a wide range of polymeric systems.
