Abstract
Four salts of an anionic iron(III) bis-complex, [Fe(LL-thr)2]1-, were synthesized from water or methanol. H2LL-thr is a tridentate ligand derived from the L-threonine amino acid, and the cations used are Li+ (1), Na+ (2), K+ (3), and Ba2+ (4). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction showed that all the complexes are coordination polymers of different dimensionalities. The iron(III) complex binds to cations through its coordinated phenolate and non-coordinated carboxylate oxygen atoms. While Li+ forms a linear chain, all others have a pair of bridged cations intervening the iron(III) complexes. The 3D network of Ba2+ salt has a sizeable solvent-accessible space occupied by aquated chloride ions. The differences in circular dichroism (CD) spectra and significantly lower conductance values in water and methanol support partial retention of the polymeric nature in methanol. The visible spectra of 4 in methanol or water showed an ∼10 nm shift of the charge transfer bands from 3. However, the addition of Al3+ salt to 2 showed a significant colour shift. Further investigation confirmed that the colour shift is due to partial protonation of the complex with protons generated from salt hydrolysis. Most reports on visual aluminium detection consider aluminium's binding as the shift's source. The present results show that protonation due to hydrolysis of aluminium salt can skew the observation.

Abstract
Recombinant enzymes have gained prominence due to their diverse functionalities and specificity and are often a greener alternative in biocatalysis. This context makes purifying recombinant enzymes from host cells and other impurities crucial. The primary goal is to isolate the pure enzyme of interest and ensure its stability under ambient conditions. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), renowned for their well-ordered structure and permeability, offer a promising approach for purifying histidine-tagged (His-tagged) enzymes. Furthermore, immobilizing enzymes within COFs represents a growing field in heterogeneous biocatalysis. In this study, we have developed a flow-based technology utilizing a nickel-infused covalent organic framework (Ni-TpBpy COF) to combine two distinct processes: the purification of His-tagged enzymes and the immobilization of enzymes simultaneously. Our work primarily focuses on the purification of three His-tagged enzymes β-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase, and endoglucanase as well as two proteins with varying molecular weights, namely, green fluorescent protein (27 kDa) and BG Rho (88 kDa). We employed Ni-TpBpy as a column matrix to showcase the versatility of our system. Additionally, we successfully obtained a Ni-TpBpy COF immobilized with enzymes, which can serve as a heterogeneous catalyst for the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside and carboxymethylcellulose. These immobilized enzymes demonstrated catalytic activity comparable to that of their free counterparts, with the added advantages of recyclability and enhanced stability under ambient conditions for an extended period, ranging from 60 to 90 days. This contrasts with the free enzymes, which do not maintain their activity as effectively over time.

Abstract
An efficient water-based purification strategy for metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) using commercially available centrifugal ultrafiltration membranes was developed. Having a diameter above 3 nm, MOPs were almost fully retained by the filters, while free ligands and other impurities were washed away. MOP retention also enabled efficient counter-ion exchange. This method paves the way for the application of MOPs with biological systems.
