Abstract
In metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) the interplay between the dynamics of individual components and how these are constrained by the extended lattice can yield unusual emergent phenomena. For the archetypal Zr-MOF, UiO-66, we explore the cooperative dynamics of a Zr-node transformation that gives rise to negative thermal expansion (NTE). Using in situ synchrotron X-ray scattering, with powder diffraction and pair distribution function (PDF) analyses, we identify lattice hysteresis and a thermal ramp-rate-dependence of the thermal expansion. Specifically, kinetic trapping of distorted node states formed at high temperature, leads to broad variability in the apparent thermal expansion which ranges from large positive to large negative thermal expansion with coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) from +45 to -80 × 10-6K-1. Time-resolved relaxation studies at selected temperatures suggest that when equilibrated UiO-66 is intrinsically NTE, with a CTE of -35 × 10-6K-1. Kinetic trapping of the node-distorted state following high temperature activation has broad implications for characterization and applications of these Zr-MOFs; the nonequilibrium node state depends on the thermal history of the sample with quench vs slow cooling likely to impact gas binding, pore volume, and accessible catalytic sites.

Abstract
Chemically stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring interconnected hierarchical pores have proven to be promising for a remarkable variety of applications. Nevertheless, the framework's susceptibility to capillary-force-induced pore collapse, especially during water evacuation, has often limited practical applications. Methodologies capable of predicting the relative magnitudes of these forces as functions of the pore size, chemical composition of the pore walls, and fluid loading would be valuable for resolution of the pore collapse problem. Here, we report that a molecular simulation approach centered on evacuation-induced nanocavitation within fluids occupying MOF pores can yield the desired physical-force information. The computations can spatially pinpoint evacuation elements responsible for collapse and the chemical basis for mitigation of the collapse of modified pores. Experimental isotherms and difference-electron density measurements of the MOF NU-1000 and four chemical variants validate the computational approach and corroborate predictions regarding relative stability, anomalous sequence of pore-filling, and chemical basis for mitigation of destructive forces.

Abstract
Postsynthetic modification (PSM) of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enables incorporation of diverse functionalities in pores for chemical separations, drug delivery, and heterogeneous catalysis. However, the effect of PSM on molecular transport, which is essential for most applications of MOFs, has been rarely studied. In this paper, we used perfluoroalkane-functionalized Zr-MOF NU-1008 as a platform to systematically interrogate transport processes and mechanisms in solvated pores. We anchored perfluoroalkanes onto NU-1008 nodes by solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI-n, with n = 3, 5, 7, and 9 denoting the number of fluorinated carbons). Transport of a luminescent molecule, BODIPY, through individual crystallites of four versions of methanol-filled SALI-n was monitored by confocal fluorescence microscopy as a function of time and location. In comparison with the parent NU-1008, the diffusivity of the probe molecules within SALI-n declined by 2- to 7-fold depending on chain length and loading, presumably due to the reduction in pore diameter or adsorptive interactions with perfluoroalkyl chains. Atomistic simulations were performed to uncover the microscopic behavior of the BODIPY diffusion in SALI-n. The perfluoroalkyl chains are observed to stay close to the pore walls, instead of extending toward the pore center. BODIPY molecules, which preferably interact with linkers, were pushed to the interior of the channels as the chain length increased, resulting in solvated diffusion and minor differences in the short-time mobility of BODIPY in SALI-n. This suggested that the observed decline of transport diffusivity in SALI-n mainly stemmed from the reduction in the pore size when these flexible chains are present. We anticipate that this proof of concept will assist in understanding how pore functionalization can physically and chemically affect mass transport in MOFs and will be useful in further guiding the design of PSM to realize the optimal performance of MOFs for various applications.

Abstract
Water pollution is increasing significantly owing to industrialization and population growth that lead to serious environmental and health issues. Therefore, the design and development of more effective wastewater treatment approaches are necessary due to a significant upsurge in demand for freshwater. More recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted attention in environmental science owing to their tunable porosity, unique structure, flexibility, and various composition. Despite these attractive advantages, some drawbacks, including intrinsic fragility, unsatisfied processability, dust formation, and poor reusability, have greatly limited their applications. Therefore, MOFs are often designed as supported-based MOFs (e.g., MOFs-coated composites) or 3D structured composites, such as MOFs-based hydrogels. MOFs-based hydrogels are excellent candidates in the sorption process because of their appropriate adsorption capacity, porous structure, good mechanical properties, durability as well as biodegradable features. In this review, the removal of different pollutants (e.g., synthetic dyes, phosphates, heavy metals, antibiotics, and some organic compounds) from aqueous media has been studied by the adsorption process using MOFs-based hydrogels. The important advancements in the fabrication of MOFs-based hydrogels and their capacities in the adsorption of pollutants under experimental conditions have been discussed. Finally, problems and future perspectives on the adsorption process using MOFs-based hydrogels have been investigated.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is among the world's most widely produced bulk chemicals, given its extensive use in diverse sectors such as agriculture; however, it poses environmental and health risks at low concentrations. Therefore, there is a need for developing new technologies and materials to capture and store ammonia safely. Herein, we report for the first time the use of metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) as ammonia adsorbents. We evaluated three different rhodium-based MOPs: [Rh2(bdc)2]12 (where bdc is 1,3-benzene dicarboxylate); one functionalized with hydroxyl groups at its outer surface [Rh2(OH-bdc)2]12 (where OH-bdc is 5-hydroxy-1,3-benzene dicarboxylate); and one decorated with aliphatic alkoxide chains at its outer surface [Rh2(C12O-bdc)2]12 (where C12O-bdc is 5-dodecoxybenzene-1,3-benzene dicarboxylate). Ammonia-adsorption experiments revealed that all three Rh-MOPs strongly interact with ammonia, with uptake capacities exceeding 10 mmol/gMOP. Furthermore, computational and experimental data showed that the mechanism of the interaction between Rh-MOPs and ammonia proceeds through a first step of coordination of NH3 to the axial site of the Rh(II) paddlewheel cluster, which triggers the adsorption of additional NH3 molecules through H-bonding interaction. This unique mechanism creates H-bonded clusters of NH3 on each Rh(II) axial site, which accounts for the high NH3 uptake capacity of Rh-MOPs. Rh-MOPs can be regenerated through their immersion in acidic water, and upon activation, their ammonia uptake can be recovered for at least three cycles. Our findings demonstrate that MOPs can be used as porous hosts to capture corrosive molecules like ammonia, and that their surface functionalization can enhance the ammonia uptake performance.

Abstract
Chemically functionalized series of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with subtle differences in local structure but divergent properties, provide a valuable opportunity to explore how local chemistry can be coupled to long-range structure and functionality. Using in situ synchrotron X-ray total scattering, with powder diffraction and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, we investigate the temperature dependence of the local- and long-range structure of MOFs based on NU-1000, in which Zr6O8 nodes are coordinated by different capping ligands (H2O/OH, Cl- ions, formate, acetylacetonate, and hexafluoroacetylacetonate). We show that the local distortion of the Zr6 nodes depends on the lability of the ligand and contributes to a negative thermal expansion (NTE) of the extended framework. Using multivariate data analyses, involving non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), we demonstrate a new mechanism for NTE: progressive increase in the population of a smaller, distorted node state with increasing temperature leads to global contraction of the framework. The transformation between discrete node states is noncooperative and not ordered within the lattice, i.e., a solid solution of regular and distorted nodes. Density functional theory calculations show that removal of ligands from the node can lead to distortions consistent with the Zr···Zr distances observed in the experiment PDF data. Control of the node distortion imparted by the nonlinker ligand in turn controls the NTE behavior. These results reveal a mechanism to control the dynamic structure of MOFs based on local chemistry.

Abstract
Visible light-mediated photoredox catalysis has emerged to be a fascinating approach for the activation of CO2 and its subsequent fixation into valuable chemicals utilizing renewable and inexhaustible solar energy. Although great progress has been made in CO2 photoreduction, visible light-assisted organic synthesis using CO2 as a reactive substrate is rarely explored. Herein, we report an efficient, facile, and economically viable photoredox-mediated approach for the synthesis of important β-thioacids via carboxylation of olefins with CO2 and thiols over a porous functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF), Fe-MIL-101-NH2, as a photocatalyst under ambient conditions. This multicomponent reaction offers wide substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, easy work-up, cost-effective and reusable photocatalysts, and higher product selectivity. Computational studies suggested that CO2 interacts with the thiophenol-styrene adduct to facilitate the synthesis of β-thioacids in almost quantitative yields.

Abstract
Sequestration of aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as sorbents is a viable means of environmental preservation. In this investigation, we shed light on the key features associated with MOFs that govern the selective uptake of a subclass of VOCs containing benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). We investigate, through a multistep computational framework including ab initio electronic structure and classical molecular dynamics simulations, the energetic and dynamical properties associated with BTEX capture in three MOFs: HKUST-1, ZIF-8, and MIL-53. Our work demonstrates the importance of considering both static and dynamical properties upon introduction of guest molecules in such computational investigations. We elucidate the key geometric factors associated with efficient capture of BTEX compounds and highlight possible postsynthetic modifications that can be used to produce next generation sorbents for BTEX capture.

Abstract
The presence of active sites in metal-organic framework (MOF) materials can control and affect their performance significantly in adsorption and catalysis. However, revealing the interactions between the substrate and active sites in MOFs at atomic precision remains a challenging task. Here, we report the direct observation of binding of NH3 in a series of UiO-66 materials containing atomically dispersed defects and open Cu(I) and Cu(II) sites. While all MOFs in this series exhibit similar surface areas (1111-1135 m2 g-1), decoration of the -OH site in UiO-66-defect with Cu(II) results in a 43% enhancement of the isothermal uptake of NH3 at 273 K and 1.0 bar from 11.8 in UiO-66-defect to 16.9 mmol g-1 in UiO-66-CuII. A 100% enhancement of dynamic adsorption of NH3 at a concentration level of 630 ppm from 2.07 mmol g-1 in UiO-66-defect to 4.15 mmol g-1 in UiO-66-CuII at 298 K is observed. In situ neutron powder diffraction, inelastic neutron scattering, and electron paramagnetic resonance, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and infrared spectroscopies, coupled with modeling reveal that the enhanced NH3 uptake in UiO-66-CuII originates from a {Cu(II)···NH3} interaction, with a reversible change in geometry at Cu(II) from near-linear to trigonal coordination. This work represents the first example of structural elucidation of NH3 binding in MOFs containing open metal sites and will inform the design of new efficient MOF sorbents by targeted control of active sites for NH3 capture and storage.

Abstract
We report a Ni-MOF (nickel metal-organic framework), Ni-SIP-BPY, synthesized by using two linkers 5-sulfoisophthalic acid (SIP) and 4,4'-bipyridine (BPY) simultaneously. It displays an orthorhombic crystal system with the Ama2 space group: a = 31.425 Å, b = 19.524 Å, c = 11.2074 Å, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°, and two different types of nickel(II) centers. Interestingly, Ni-SIP-BPY exhibits excellent sensitivity (limit of detection, 87 ppb) and selectivity toward the 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP)-like mutagenic environmental toxin in the pool of its other congeners via "turn-off" fluorescence response by the synergism of resonance energy transfer, photoinduced electron transfer, intermolecular charge transfer, π-π interactions, and competitive absorption processes. Experimental studies along with corroborated theoretical experimentation, vide density functional theory studies, shed light on determining the plausible mechanistic pathway in selective TNP detection, which is highly beneficial in the context of homeland security perspective. Along with the sensing of nitroaromatic explosives, the moderately low band gap and the p-type semiconducting behavior of Ni-SIP-BPY make it suitable as a photoanode material for visible-light-driven water splitting. Highly active surface functionalities and sufficient conduction band minima effectively reduce the water and result in a seven times higher photocurrent density under visible-light illumination.

Abstract
The efficient capture of toxic gases, such as ammonia (NH3) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), can protect the general population and mitigate widespread air pollution. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) comprise a tunable class of adsorbents with high surface areas that can meet this challenge by selectively capturing these gases at low concentrations. In this work, we explored how modifying the metal ions in the node of an isostructural MOF series from a transition metal to a lanthanide or actinide influences the electronic environment of the node-based active site. Next, we investigated the adsorption properties of each MOF toward the relatively basic NH3 and relatively acidic SO2 gases. Within the NU-907 family of MOFs, we found that Zr6-NU-907 exhibits the best uptake toward NH3 at low pressures, while Th6-NU-907 demonstrates the best low-pressure performance for SO2 adsorption. Tracking the infrared (IR) stretching frequency of the node-based μ3-OH groups provides insights into the electronegativity of the metal ion and suggests that the most electronegative metal ion (Zr) affords the node with the best NH3 uptake at low pressures. In contrast, the Th6 node contains additional coordinated water groups relative to the other M6 nodes, which appears to yield the MOF with the greatest affinity for SO2 uptake that occurs predominately through reversible physisorption interactions. Finally, in situ NH3 IR spectroscopic studies indicate that both NH4+ and Lewis-bound NH3 species form during adsorption. Combined, these results suggest that tuning the electronic properties and structure of the node-based active site in an MOF presents a viable strategy to change the affinity of an MOF toward toxic gases.

Abstract
A defining characteristic of nearly all catalytically functional MOFs is uniform, molecular-scale porosity. MOF pores, linkers and nodes that define them, help regulate reactant and product transport, catalyst siting, catalyst accessibility, catalyst stability, catalyst activity, co-catalyst proximity, composition of the chemical environment at and beyond the catalytic active site, chemical intermediate and transition-state conformations, thermodynamic affinity of molecular guests for MOF interior sites, framework charge and density of charge-compensating ions, pore hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, pore and channel rigidity vs. flexibility, and other features and properties. Collectively and individually, these properties help define overall catalyst functional behaviour. This review focuses on how porous, catalyst-containing MOFs capitalize on molecular-scale confinement, containment, isolation, environment modulation, energy delivery, and mobility to accomplish desired chemical transformations with potentially superior selectivity or other efficacy, especially in comparison to catalysts in homogeneous solution environments.

Abstract
The structural diversity and designability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) make these porous materials a strong candidate for NH3 uptake. However, to achieve a high NH3 capture capacity and good recyclability of MOFs at the same time remains a great challenge. Here, a multiple-site ligand screening strategy of MOFs is proposed for highly efficient and reversible NH3 uptake for the first time. Based on the optimized DFT results for various possible ligands, pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate with multiple sites was screened as the best ligand to construct robust MOF-303(Al) with Al3+. It is experimentally found that the NH3 adsorption capacity of MOF-303(Al) is as high as 19.7 mmol g-1 at 25.0 °C and 1.0 bar, and the NH3 capture is fully reversible and no clear loss of capture capacity is observed after 20 cycles of adsorption-desorption. Various spectral studies verify that the superior NH3 capacity and excellent recyclability of MOF-303(Al) are mainly attributed to the hydrogen bonding interactions of NH3 with multiple sites of MOF-303(Al).

Abstract
Rapid degradation/destruction of chemical warfare agents, especially ones containing a phosphorous-fluorine bond, is of notable interest due to their extreme toxicity and typically rapid rate of human incapacitation. Recent studies of the hydrolytic destruction of a key nerve agent simulant, dimethyl 4-nitrophenylphosphate (DMNP), catalyzed by Zr6-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have suggested deactivation of the active sites due to inhibition by the products as the reaction progresses. In this study, the interactions of two MOFs, NU-1000 and MOF-808, and two hydrolysis products, dimethyl phosphate (DMP) and ethyl methyl phosphonate (EMP), from the hydrolysis of the simulant (DMNP) and nerve agent ethyl methylphosphonofluoridate (EMPF), resembling the hydrolysis degradation product of the G-series nerve agent, Sarin (GB), have been investigated to deconvolute the effect of product inhibition from other effects on catalytic activity. Kinetic studies via in situ nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicated substantial product inhibition upon catalyst activity after several tens to several thousand turnovers, depending on specific conditions. Apparent product binding constants were obtained by fitting initial reaction rates at pH 7.0 and pH 10.5 to a Langmuir-Freundlich binding/adsorption model. For the fits, varying amounts/concentrations of candidate inhibitors were introduced before the start of catalytic hydrolysis. The derived binding constants proved suitable for quantitatively describing product inhibition effects upon reaction rates over the extended time course of simulant hydrolysis by aqua-ligand-bearing hexa-zirconium(IV) nodes.
