Abstract
Postsynthetic exchange (PSE) is a key technique for integrating sensitive linkers into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Despite its importance, investigations into linker distributions have primarily focused on micrometer-sized crystals due to the analytical limitations, leaving nanoparticles less explored, although they are commonly synthesized and used in applications. In particular, the emergence of core-shell nanostructures via PSE has shown potential for applications in CO2 adsorption and selective catalysis. This study addresses this gap by investigating the formation of core-shell structures on nanoparticles under diffusion-controlled PSE conditions. By analyzing volume-to-surface ratios and conducting time-dependent experiments, we confirmed that these conditions facilitate the development of core-shell architectures. We also developed a straightforward method to calculate the minimum incorporation depth using basic parameters such as particle size and the total amount of incorporated linker. The accuracy of our approach was validated against data obtained from transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. These findings enhance the understanding of PSE in MOF nanoparticles and open up promising avenues for developing advanced MOF core-shell structures for various applications.

Abstract
Heterojunctions combining two photocatalysts of staggered conduction and valence band energy levels can increase the photocatalytic efficiency compared to their individual components. This activity enhancement is due to the minimization of undesirable charge recombination by the occurrence of carrier migration through the heterojunction interface with separated electrons and holes on the reducing and oxidizing junction component, respectively. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently among the most researched photocatalysts due to their tunable light absorption, facile charge separation, large surface area and porosity. The present review summarizes the current state-of-the-art in MOF-based heterojunctions, providing critical comments on the construction of these heterostructures. Besides including examples showing the better performance of MOF heterojunctions for three important photocatalytic processes, such as hydrogen evolution reaction, CO2 photoreduction and dye decolorization, the focus of this review is on describing synthetic procedures to form heterojunctions with MOFs and on discussing the experimental techniques that provide evidence for the operation of charge migration between the MOF and the other component. Special attention has been paid to the design of rational MOF heterojunctions with small particle size and controlled morphology for an appropriate interfacial contact. The final section summarizes the achievements of the field and provides our views on future developments.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) hybrid MOFs are attractive if they consist of different MOF blocks with interconnected channels. However, the precision synthesis of such 1D multiblock MOFs with the desired block lengths and sequences remains a formidable challenge. Herein we propose the "photochemical surgery" method, which combines top-down and bottom-up approaches to enable the site-selective solubilization (removal)/crystallization (reconstruction) of 1D MOFs. We employed photoreactive MOFs, which were prepared by complexing either Cd2+ or Zn2+ with a mixture containing a photochromic bispyridyl ligand (PyDTEopen or PyDTZEopen) and an isophthalate (5-nitroisophthalate (nip2-) or 5-bromoisophthalate (bip2-)). These MOFs were obtained as high-aspect-ratio, needlelike, colorless crystals that bore 1D channels oriented parallel to the long needle axis. When photoreactive DTECdMOFNO2 ([Cd(nip)(PyDTEopen)(H2O)]n), for example, was immobilized at both ends with a metal alloy on a glass substrate and exposed to UV light through a photomask for 60 min in N,N-dimethylformamide/methanol (DMF/MeOH), the unmasked part was removed via solubilization to produce a 50 μm gap. The resulting specimen was immersed for 24 h at 25 °C in DMF/MeOH containing the necessary components for the construction of DTZECdMOFNO2 ([Cd(nip)(PyDTZEopen)(H2O)]n). Eventually, the gap was filled with DTZECdMOFNO2 to produce a triblock hybrid MOF (DTECdMOFNO2-DTZECdMOFNO2-DTECdMOFNO2). The result of a guest diffusion experiment confirmed that the newly formed DTZECdMOFNO2 block shared its 1D channels with the host DTECdMOFNO2 blocks. "Photochemical surgery" can be applied to synthesize 1D hybrid MOFs bearing unconventional sequences and morphologies, e.g., honeycomb- and inverted-honeycomb-patterned hybrids.

Abstract
Changing the perception of defects as imperfections in crystalline frameworks into correlated domains amenable to chemical control and targeted design might offer opportunities for the design of porous materials with superior performance or distinctive behavior in catalysis, separation, storage, or guest recognition. From a chemical standpoint, the establishment of synthetic protocols adapted to control the generation and growth of correlated disorder is crucial to consider defect engineering a practicable route towards adjusting framework function. By using UiO-66 as experimental platform, we systematically explored the framework chemical space of the corresponding defective materials. Periodic disorder arising from controlled generation and growth of missing cluster vacancies can be chemically controlled by the relative concentration of linker and modulator, which has been used to isolate a crystallographically pure "disordered" reo phase. Cs-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy is used to proof the coexistence of correlated domains of missing linker and cluster vacancies, whose relative sizes are fixed by the linker concentration. The relative distribution of correlated disorder in the porosity and catalytic activity of the material reveals that, contrarily to the common belief, surpassing a certain defect concentration threshold can have a detrimental effect.

Abstract
Studies about the reaction of ZrIV ions with peroxides and the properties of the resulting zirconium peroxide clusters are significant for understanding zirconium chemistry in the nuclear fuel cycle and the advancement of less explored Group IV metal oxo clusters. Herein, an octanuclear zirconium peroxide cluster, designated as Zr8, was synthesized and characterized by using multiple techniques. Crystallographic analysis revealed that Zr8 has a ringlike structure and unusual positive charges, while tetravalent metal oxo clusters are mostly neutral. In situ variable-temperature Raman spectra indicated that Zr8 has unexpected thermal stability, which may be related to the strong interaction between ZrIV ions and peroxide groups. Small-angle X-ray scattering data showed that Zr8 self-assembled in the reactant solution prior to crystallization. In short, Zr8 expands the limited family of zirconium peroxide clusters and enriches the properties of metal peroxides.

Abstract
Research on metal-organic frameworks is shifting from the principles that control the assembly, structure, and porosity of these reticular solids, already established, into more sophisticated concepts that embrace chemical complexity as a tool for encoding their function or accessing new properties by exploiting the combination of different components (organic and inorganic) into these networks. The possibility of combining multiple linkers into a given network for multivariate solids with tunable properties dictated by the nature and distribution of the organic connectors across the solid has been well demonstrated. However, the combination of different metals remains still comparatively underexplored due to the difficulties in controlling the nucleation of heterometallic metal-oxo clusters during the assembly of the framework or the post-synthetic incorporation of metals with distinct chemistry. This possibility is even more challenging for titanium-organic frameworks due to the additional difficulties intrinsic to controlling the chemistry of titanium in solution. In this perspective article we provide an overview of the synthesis and advanced characterization of mixed-metal frameworks and emphasize the particularities of those based in titanium with particular focus on the use of additional metals to modify their function by controlling their reactivity in the solid state, tailoring their electronic structure and photocatalytic activity, enabling synergistic catalysis, directing the grafting of small molecules or even unlocking the formation of mixed oxides with stoichiometries not accessible to conventional routes.

Abstract
The value of covalent post-synthetic modification in expanding the chemistry and pore versatility of reticular solids is well documented. Here we use mesoporous crystals of the metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-68-TZDC to demonstrate the value of tetrazine connectors for all-purpose inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder ligation chemistry. Our results suggest a positive effect of tetrazine reticulation over its reactivity for quantitative one-step functionalization with a broad scope of alkene or alkyne dienophiles into pyridazine and dihydropyridazine frameworks. This permits generating multiple pore environments with diverse chemical functionalities and the expected accessible porosities, that is also extended to the synthesis of crystalline fulleretic materials by covalent conjugation of fullerene molecules.

Abstract
The incorporation of multiple metal atoms in multivariate metal-organic frameworks is typically carried out through a one-pot synthesis procedure that involves the simultaneous reaction of the selected elements with the organic linkers. In order to attain control over the distribution of the elements and to be able to produce materials with controllable metal combinations, it is required to understand the synthetic and crystallization processes. In this work, we have completed a study with the RPF-4 MOF family, which is made of various rare-earth elements, to investigate and determine how the different initial combinations of metal cations result in different atomic distributions in the obtained materials. Thus, we have found that for equimolar combinations involving lanthanum and another rare-earth element, such as ytterbium, gadolinium, or dysprosium, a compositional segregation takes place in the products, resulting in crystals with different compositions. On the contrary, binary combinations of ytterbium, gadolinium, erbium, and dysprosium result in homogeneous distributions. This dissimilar behavior is ascribed to differences in the crystallization pathways through which the MOF is formed. Along with the synthetic and crystallization study and considering the structural features of this MOF family, we also disclose here a comprehensive characterization of the magnetic properties of the compounds and the heat capacity behavior under different external magnetic fields.

Abstract
The chemistry of metal-organic and covalent organic frameworks (MOFs and COFs) is perhaps the most diverse and inclusive among the chemical sciences, and yet it can be radically expanded by blending it with nanotechnology. The result is reticular nanoscience, an area of reticular chemistry that has an immense potential in virtually any technological field. In this perspective, we explore the extension of such an interdisciplinary reach by surveying the explored and unexplored possibilities that framework nanoparticles can offer. We localize these unique nanosized reticular materials at the juncture between the molecular and the macroscopic worlds, and describe the resulting synthetic and analytical chemistry, which is fundamentally different from conventional frameworks. Such differences are mirrored in the properties that reticular nanoparticles exhibit, which we described while referring to the present state-of-the-art and future promising applications in medicine, catalysis, energy-related applications, and sensors. Finally, the bottom-up approach of reticular nanoscience, inspired by nature, is brought to its full extension by introducing the concept of augmented reticular chemistry. Its approach departs from a single-particle scale to reach higher mesoscopic and even macroscopic dimensions, where framework nanoparticles become building units themselves and the resulting supermaterials approach new levels of sophistication of structures and properties.

[PMID: 35210434 PMCID: PMC8873209 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-28679-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The placement of mixed building blocks at precise locations in metal–organic frameworks is critical to creating pore environments suitable for advanced applications. Here we show that the spatial distribution of mixed building blocks in metal–organic frameworks can be modulated by exploiting the different temperature sensitivities of the diffusion coefficients and exchange rate constants of the building blocks. By tuning the reaction temperature of the forward linker exchange from one metal–organic framework to another isoreticular metal–organic framework, core–shell microstructural and uniform microstructural metal–organic frameworks are obtained. The strategy can be extended to the fabrication of inverted core–shell microstructures and multi-shell microstructures and applied for the modulation of the spatial distribution of framework metal ions during the post-synthetic metal exchange process of a Zn-based metal–organic framework to an isostructural Ni-based metal–organic framework. Gaining control over the structure of metal organic–frameworks can be challenging. Here the authors report the modulation of the spatial distribution of mixed building blocks in a metal–organic framework from a uniform to a core–shell distribution; temperature control plays a crucial role.

Abstract
Different mixed-ligand Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) with sodalite topology, i.e. isoreticular to ZIF-8, unachievable by conventional synthetic routes, have been prepared using a solvent-free methodology. In particular, the versatility of this method is demonstrated with three different metal centres (Zn, Co and Fe) and binary combinations of three different ligands (2-methylimidazole, 2-ethylimidazole and 2-methylbenzimidazole). One combination of ligands, 2-ethylimidazole and 2-methylbenzimidazole, results in the formation of SOD frameworks for the three metal centres despite this topology not being obtained for the individual ligands. Theoretical calculations confirm that this topology is the lowest in energy upon ligand mixing.

Abstract
The indoor air quality is of prime importance for human daily life and health, for which the adsorbents like zeolites and silica-gels are widely used for air dehumidification and harmful gases capture. Herein, we develop a pore-nanospace post-engineering strategy to optimize the hydrophilicity, water-uptake capacity and air-purifying ability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with long-term stability, offering an ideal candidate with autonomous multi-functionality of moisture control and pollutants sequestration. Through variant tuning of organic-linkers carrying hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in the pore-nanospaces of prototypical UiO-67, a moderately hydrophilic MOF (UiO-67-4Me-NH2 -38 %) with high thermal, hydrolytic and acid-base stability is screened out, featuring S-shaped water sorption isotherms exactly located in the recommended comfortable and healthy ranges of relative humidity for indoor ventilation (45 %-65 % RH) and adverse health effects minimization (40-60 % RH). Its exceptional attributes of water-uptake working capacity/efficiency, contaminants removal, recyclability and regeneration promise a great potential in confined indoor environment application.
