Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are porous organic materials constructed via hydrogen bonds. HOFs have solubility in specific high-polar organic solvents. Therefore, HOFs can be returned to their components and can be reconstructed, which indicates their high recyclability. Network topologies, which are the frameworks of porous structures, control the pore sizes and shapes of HOFs. Therefore, they strongly affect the functions of porous materials. However, hydrogen bonds are usually weak interactions, and the design of the intended network topology in HOFs from their components has been challenging. Porous organic salts (POSs) are an important class of HOFs, are hierarchically constructed via strong charge-assisted hydrogen bonds between sulfonic acids and amines, and therefore are expected to have high designability of the porous structure. However, the network topology of POSs has been limited to only dia-topology. Here, we combined tetrasulfonic acid with the adamantane core (4,4',4'',4'''-(adamantane-1,3,5,7-tetrayl)tetrabenzenesulfonic acid; AdPS) and triphenylmethylamines with modified substituents in para-positions of benzene rings (TPMA-X, X = F, methyl (Me), Cl, Br, I). We changed the steric hindrance between the adamantane and substituents (X) in TPMA-X and obtained not only the common dia-topology for POSs but also rare sod-topology, and lon- and uni-topologies that are formed for the first time in HOFs. Changing template molecules under preparation helped in successfully isolating the porous structures of AdPS/TPMA-Me with dia-, lon-, and sod-topologies which exhibited different gas adsorption properties. Therefore, for the first time, we demonstrated that the steric design of HOF components facilitated the formation, diversification, and control of the network topologies and functions of HOFs.

Abstract
Rational design of organic building blocks provides opportunities to control and tune various physicochemical properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), including gas handling, proton conduction, and structural flexibility, the latter of which is responsible for new adsorption phenomena and often superior properties compared to rigid porous materials. In this work, we report synthesis, crystal structures, gas adsorption, and proton conduction for a flexible two-dimensional cadmium-based MOF (JUK-13-SO3H-SO2) containing a new sulfonated 4,4'-oxybis(benzoate) linker with a blocking SO2 bridge. This two-dimensional (2D) MOF is compared in detail with a previously reported three-dimensional Cd-MOF (JUK-13-SO3H), based on analogous, but nonflat, SO2-free sulfonated dicarboxylate. The comprehensive structure-property relationships and the detailed comparisons with insights into the networks flexibility are supported by five guest-dependent structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), and corroborated by spectroscopy (IR, 1H NMR), powder XRD, and elemental/thermogravimetric analyses, as well as by volumetric adsorption measurements (for N2, CO2, H2O), ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST), density-functional theory (DFT+D) quantum chemical and grand-canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) calculations, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies. Whereas both dynamic MOFs show moderate proton conductivity values, they exhibit excellent CO2/N2 selectivity related to the capture of CO2 from flue gases (IAST coefficients for 15:85 mixtures are equal to ca. 250 at 1 bar and 298 K). The presence of terminal sulfonate groups in both MOFs, introduced using a unique prechlorosulfonation strategy, is responsible for their hydrophilicity and water-assisted proton transport ability. The dynamic nature of the MOFs results in the appearance of breathing-type adsorption isotherms that exhibit large hysteresis loops (for CO2 and H2O) attributed to strong host-guest interactions. Theoretical modeling provides information about the adsorption mechanism and supports interpretation of experimental CO2 adsorption isotherms.

Abstract
Excessive CO2 in the air can not only lead to serious climate problems but also cause serious damage to humans in confined spaces. Here, a novel metal-organic framework (FJI-H38) with adaptive ultramicropores and multiple active sites is prepared. It can sieve CO2 from air with the very high adsorption capacity/selectivity but the lowest adsorption enthalpy among the reported physical adsorbents. Such excellent adsorption performances can be retained even at high humidity. Mechanistic studies show that the polar ultramicropore is very suitable for molecular sieving of CO2 from N2 , and the distinguishable adsorption sites for H2 O and CO2 enable them to be co-adsorbed. Notably, the adsorbed-CO2 -driven pore shrinkage can further promote CO2 capture while the adsorbed-H2 O-induced phase transitions in turn inhibit H2 O adsorption. Moreover, FJI-H38 has excellent stability and recyclability and can be synthesized on a large scale, making it a practical trace CO2 adsorbent. This will provide a new strategy for developing practical adsorbents for CO2 capture from the air.

Abstract
Nowadays, coordination polymers (CPs) are promising candidates as sensory materials for their high sensitivity, improved selectivity, fast responsive nature, as well as good recyclability. However, poor chemical stability often makes their practical usage limited. Herein, employing a mixed ligand approach, we constructed a chemically robust CP, {[Zn2L2(DPA)2]·3H2O}n (IITKGP-70, IITKGP stands for the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur), which exhibited excellent framework robustness not only in water but also over a broad range of pH solutions (pH = 3-11). The developed framework displayed high selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of trivalent Al3+ ions and toxic hexavalent Cr(VI)-oxo anions in an aqueous medium. The developed framework exhibited an aqueous medium Al3+ turn-on phenomenon with a limit of detection (LOD) value of 1.29 μM, whereas a turn-off effect was observed for toxic oxo-anions (Cr2O72- and CrO42-) having LOD values of 0.27 and 0.71 μM, respectively. Both turn-on and turn-off mechanisms are speculated via spectroscopic methods coupled with several ex situ studies. Such a multiresponsive nature (both turn-on and turn-off) for aqueous medium detection of targeted cations and anions simultaneously in a single platform coupled with high robustness, ease of scalability, recyclability, and fast-responsive nature makes IITKGP-70 highly fascinating as a sensory material for real-world applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant attention as sorbents for gas separation and purification. Ideally, an industrially potential adsorbent should combine exceptional gas uptake, excellent stability, and a lower regeneration energy; however, it remains a great challenge. Here, by utilizing the pore space partition (PSP) strategy, we develop three isostructural MOF materials (Co-BDC-TPB, Co-DCBDC-TPB, and Co-DOBDC-TPB) based on pristine MIL-88(Co). The three pore-space-partitioned crystalline microporous MOFs have triangular bipyramid cages and segmented one-dimensional channels, and among them, Co-DOBDC-TPB exhibits the highest CO2 uptake capacity (4.35 mmol g-1) and good CO2/N2 (29.7) and CO2/CH4 (6.2) selectivity. The selectivity-capacity synergy endows it with excellent CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 separation performance. Moreover, Co-DOBDC-TPB can complete desorption within 10 min. The satisfactory CO2 adsorption ability can be attributed to both microporous aperture arising from PSP and modification of the pore surface by the polar hydroxy group, which enhances the interaction between Co-DOBDC-TPB and CO2 molecules significantly. The exceptional regeneration property may be due to its lower CO2 isosteric heat of adsorption (23.6 kJ/mol). The developed pore-space-partitioned MIL-88(Co) material Co-DOBDC-TPB may have potential application to flue gas and natural gas purification.

Abstract
Development of the multifaceted metal-organic framework (MOF) with in situ engineered task-specific sites can promise proficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and high-temperature adsorption cum mild-condition fixation of CO2. In fact, effective assimilation of these attributes onto a single material with advance performance characteristics is practically imperative in view of renewable energy application and carbon-footprint reduction. Herein, we developed a three-fold interpenetrated robust Co(II) framework that embraces both redox-active and hydrogen-bond donor moieties inside the microporous channel. The activated MOF demonstrates notable OER catalysis in alkaline medium via quasi-reversible Co2+/Co3+ couple and unveils low overpotential with impressive 53.5 mV/dec Tafel slope that overpowers some benchmark, commercial, as well as contemporary materials. In particular, significantly increased turnover frequency (3.313 s-1 at 400 mV) and fairly low charge-transfer resistance (3.02 Ω) compared to Co3O4, NiO, and majority of redox-active MOFs together with 91% Faradaic efficiency and notable framework durability after multiple OER cycles endorse high-performance water oxidation. Pore-wall decked urea groups benefit appreciable CO2 adsorption even at elevated temperatures with considerable MOF-CO2 interactions and exhibit recurrent capture-release cycles at diverse temperatures. Interestingly, CO2 selectivity displays radical upsurge with temperature rise, affording 40% improved CO2/N2 value of 200 at 313 K, which outperforms many porous adsorbents and delineates real-time CO2 scavenging potential. The guest-free MOF effectively catalyzes solvent-free CO2 cycloaddition with broad substrate tolerance and satisfactory reusability under relatively mild condition. Opposed to the common Lewis acid-mediated reaction, two-point hydrogen-bonding activates the substrate, as supported from controlled experiments, juxtaposing the performance of an un-functionalized MOF and fluorescence modification-derived framework-epoxide interaction, providing valuable insights on unconventional cycloaddition route in the MOF.

Abstract
Pore environment modulation with high-density polarizing groups in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can effectively accomplish selective and multicyclic carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption, whereas the incorporation of task-specific organic sites inside these porous vessels promise to evade self-quenching, solubility, and recyclability issues in hydrogen-bond donating (HBD) catalysis. However, concurrent amalgamation of both these attributes over a single platform is rare but extremely demanding in view of sustainable applications. We designed a robust diamondoid framework CSMCRI-17 (CSMCRI = Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute) from the mixed-ligand assembly of azo group-containing dicarboxylate ligand, urea-functionalized pyridyl linker, and Zn(II) nodes with specific divergent coordination. Seven-fold interpenetration to the microporous structure largely augments N-rich functionality that facilitates high CO2 uptake in the activated form (17a) with good CO2 selectivity over N2 and CH4 that outperform many reported materials. The framework displays very strong CO2 affinity and no reduction in adsorption capacity over multiple uptake-release cycles. Benefitting from the pore-wall decoration with urea functionality from the pillaring strut, 17a further demonstrates hydrogen-bond-mediated Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indole with β-nitrostyrene under mild conditions, with multicyclic usability and excellent reactivity toward wide ranges of substituted nucleophiles and electrophiles. Interestingly, interpenetration-generated optimum-sized pores induce poor conversion to sterically encumbered substrate via molecular dimension-mediated size selectivity that is alternatively ascribed from additional control experiments and support the occurrence of HBD reaction within the MOF cavity. The catalytic path is detailed in light of the change of emission intensity of the framework by the electrophile as well as the judicious choice of the substrate, which authenticates the prime role of urea moiety-governed two-point hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Trivalent metal ions (Cr3+, Al3+, and Fe3+) constitute a major section of the environmental pollutants, and their excess accumulation has a detrimental effect on health, so their detection in trace quantity has been a hot topic of research. A highly scalable 3D porous Zn-based luminescent metal-organic framework (MOF) has been synthesized by exploiting the mixed ligand synthesis concept. The strategic selection of an aromatic π-conjugated organic linker and N-rich spacer containing the azine functionality as metal ion binding sites immobilized across the pore spaces, have made this MOF an ideal turn-on sensor for Al3+, Cr3+, and Fe3+ ions with very high sensitivity, selectivity, and recyclability. An in-depth study revealed absorbance caused enhancement mechanism (ACE) responsible for such turn-on phenomena. In order to make the detection process straightforward, convenient, portable, and economically viable, we have fabricated MOF test paper strips (the MOF could be simply immobilized onto the paper strips) for naked eye visual detection under UV light, which, thus, manifests its potential as a real-time smart sensor for these trivalent ions.

Abstract
The development of chemically stable metal-organic framework (MOF)-based luminescent platforms for toxic ion detection in an aqueous medium is highly challenging because most of the classical MOFs are prone to water degradation, and that is the reason why most of the MOF-based luminescent sensors use a nonaqueous medium for sensing. In this contribution, we report two new water-stable luminescent MOFs (Zn-MOF-1 and Zn-MOF-2), assembled from a mixed-ligand synthesis approach. Because of the presence of a hydrophobic trifluoromethyl group to the backbone and stronger metal-N coordination, these MOFs exhibit excellent stability not only in water but also in acidic/alkaline aqueous solutions (pH = 3-10). Here, we report a green sensing approach by exploiting the significant reduction in photoluminescence of these MOFs in the presence of toxic ions. Fe3+ and CrO42-/Cr2O72- ions could be traced with a detection limit (LOD) in the micromolar range (0.045 and 0.745/0.33 μM for Zn-MOF-1; 125.2 and 114.2/83.5 μM for Zn-MOF-2). The mechanistic study reveals that competitive absorption of the excitation energy coupled with fluorescent resonance energy transfer are responsible for the turn-off quenching. The anti-interference ability and recyclability along with the pH stability gave these MOFs high potential to be used as practical sensors toward FeIII and CrVI ions in water as a greenest medium.

Pore environment modulation with polarizing groups is one of the essential prerequisites for selective carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), wherein judicious installation of the photocatalytic feature can promise visible light-triggered degradation of toxic organic dye molecules. However, astute amalgamation of both these attributes over a single MOF is rather rare, yet much anticipated in view of sustainable applications. Pore engineering is effectively harnessed in a Zn(II)-based three-dimensional (3D) MOF, CSMCRI-16 (CSMCRI = Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute), through mixed-ligand assembly of a N-rich linker (L), 4,4'-oxybis(benzoic acid) (H2oba) ligand, and [Zn2(CO2)4N2] paddle-wheel secondary building units (SBUs). The noninterpenetrated structure contains unbound nitrogen and accessible oxygen atom-decorated porous channels and exhibits admirable stability in diverse organic solvents, open air, and at elevated temperatures. The heteroatom-decorated porous channels facilitated excellent CO2 uptake in the activated MOF (16a) with high selectivity over N2 (CO2/N2: 155.3) at 273 K. The framework further exhibits reasonable CO2 affinity and multicyclic CO2 sorption recurrence without a significant loss in the uptake capacity. Benefitting from the presence of the [Zn2(CO2)4N2] cluster in conjugation with π-conjugated organic ligands, the extended 3D network revealed an optical band gap energy of 2.55 eV, which makes the MOF an efficient photocatalyst toward the degradation of the cationic dyes crystal violet (CV) and methylene blue (MB) in the presence of a simple 40 W visible light lamp without any assistance of external oxidants. The catalyst exhibits multicyclic performance and short reaction time in addition to the fact that catalytic efficiencies (CV: 97.2%, MB: 97.8%) are comparable to those of contemporary materials.

Abstract
Implementation of lanthanide-organic frameworks (LOFs) as solid adsorbents has been frequently handicapped by their permanent porosity being difficult to establish owing to the remarkable flexibility and diversity of lanthanide ions in terms of coordination number and geometry. Construction of robust LOFs with permanent porosity for industrially important hydrocarbon separation will greatly expand their application potential. In this work, by distributing N and O donors into an m-terphenyl skeleton, we rationally synthesized a heterofunctional linker, and constructed a pair of isostructural LOFs. Due to the inclusion of a rarely observed three-dimensional metal-carboxylate backbone serving as a highly connected inorganic secondary building unit, their permanent porosities were successfully established by diverse gas isotherms. They can be applied as separating media not only for natural gas purification and removal of carbon dioxide from C2 hydrocarbons but also more importantly for single-step ethylene (C2H4) purification from a three-component C2Hn mixture during the adsorption process. The latter separation is very challenging and has been less reported in the literature. This work provides a unique example of LOFs featuring three-dimensional inorganic connectivity applied to multipurpose hydrocarbon separations.

Abstract
Through regulating the reaction solvent and temperature, two Tb-based metal-organic frameworks, ((CH3)2NH2)2[Tb9(μ3-OH)8(μ2-OH)3(PTB)6]·(DMF)14·(H2O)19 (1) and ((CH3)2NH2)3{[Tb9(μ3-O)2(μ3-OH)12(H2O)6][Tb3(μ3-O)(HCO2)3 (PTB)6]}·(DMF)12·(H2O)7 (2) (H3PTB = pyridine-2,4,6-tribenzoic acid), have been synthesized. Structural analysis showed that the cluster node of 1 is a Tb9 cluster, while 2 contains two different nodes of a Tb3 cluster and a Tb9 cluster, which leads to their different pore structures and may potentially separate C2H2/CO2. Gas adsorption demonstrates that both MOFs can separate C2H2 and CO2, but 2 has a more optimized pore environment than 1 and can exhibit better selective separation of C2H2/CO2.
