Abstract
Evaluation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for adsorbed natural gas (ANG) technology employs pure methane as a surrogate for natural gas (NG). This approximation is problematic, as it ignores the impact of other heavier hydrocarbons present in NG, such as ethane and propane, which generally have more favorable adsorption interactions with MOFs compared to methane. Herein, using quantitative Raman spectroscopic analysis and Monte Carlo calculations, we demonstrate the adsorption selectivity of high-performing MOFs, such as MOF-5, MOF-177, and SNU-70, for a methane and ethane mixture (95:5) that mimics the composition of NG. The impact of selectivity on the storage and deliverable capacities of these adsorbents during successive cycles of adsorption and desorption, simulating the filling and emptying of an ANG tank, is also demonstrated. The study reveals a gradual reduction in the storage performance of MOFs, particularly with smaller pore volumes, due to ethane accumulation over long-term cycling, until a steady state is reached with substantially degraded storage performance.

Structural Information on Supramolecular Copper(II) β-Diketonate Complexes from Atomic Force Microscopy and Analytical Ultracentrifugation. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:2629-2638. [PMID: 38250429 PMCID: PMC10795041 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Supramolecular Cu(II) complexes were prepared from two trifunctional β-diketone ligands. The ligands (CH3Si(phacH)3 and CH3Si(phprH)3, represented by LH3) contain three aryl-β-diketone moieties joined by an organosilicon group. The complexes have the empirical formula Cu3L2, as expected for combinations of Cu2+ and L3-. Several metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) [Cu3L2]n are possible (n = 1-10); a dodecahedron (Cu30L20; n = 10; estimated diameter of ca. 5 nm) should be the most stable because its internal bond angles would come closest to ideal values. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), performed on samples deposited from solution onto mica substrates, revealed a distribution of sample heights in the 0.5-3.0 nm range. The most commonly observed heights were 0.5-1.5 nm, corresponding to the smallest possible molecules (Cu3L2, i.e., n = 1). Some molecular cubes (Cu12L8; ca. 2.5 nm) or larger molecules or aggregates may be present as well. Equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) was also used to probe the compounds. A previously reported reference compound, the molecular square Cu4(m-pbhx)4 (M = 2241 g mol-1), behaved well in AUC experiments in four nonpolar organic solvents. AUC data for the new tris(β-diketonate) MOPs [Cu3L2]n in toluene and fluorobenzene did not agree well with the theoretical results for a single solute. The data were fit well by a two-solute model, but these results were not consistent in the two solvents used, and some run-to-run variability was noted even in the same solvent. Also, the calculated molecular weights differed significantly from those expected for [Cu3L2]n ([Cu3(CH3Si(phac)3)2]n, multiples of 1322 g mol-1; or [Cu3(CH3Si(phpr)3)2]n, multiples of 1490 g mol-1).

Abstract
With the development of crystalline porous materials toward methane storage, the stability issue of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials has caused great concern despite high working capacity. Considering the high stability of zirconium-based MOFs and effective functions of amide groups toward gas adsorption, herein, a series of UiO-66 type of Zr-MOFs, namely, Zr-fcu-H/F/CH3/OH, were successfully designed and synthesized by virtue of amide-functionalized dicarboxylate ligands bearing distinct side groups (i.e., -H, -F, -CH3, and -OH) and ZrCl4 in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid as the modulator. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and topology analyses reveal that these compounds are archetypal fcu MOFs encompassing octahedral and tetrahedral cages, respectively. The N2 sorption isotherms and acid-base stability tests demonstrate that the materials possess not only relatively high surface areas, pore volumes, and appropriate pore sizes but also great hydrolytic stabilities ranging pH = 3-11. Furthermore, the volumetric methane storage working capacities of Zr-fcu-H, Zr-fcu-F, Zr-fcu-CH3, and Zr-fcu-OH at 298/273 K and 80 bar are 187/217, 175/193, 167/187, and 154/171 cm3 (STP) cm-3, respectively, which indicate that the zirconium-based crystalline porous materials are capable of storing relatively high amounts of methane.

Abstract
The increasing energy demands in society and industrial sectors have inspired the search for alternative energy sources that are renewable and sustainable, also driving the development of clean energy storage and delivery systems. Various solid-state materials (e.g., oxides, sulphides, polymer and conductive nanomaterials, activated carbon and their composites) have been developed for energy production (water splitting-H2 production), gaseous fuel (H2 and CH4) storage and electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors) applications. Nevertheless, the low surface area, pore volume and conductivity, and poor physical and chemical stability of the reported materials have resulted in higher requirements and challenges in the development of energy production and energy storage technologies. Thus, to overcome these issues, the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted significant attention. MOFs are a class of porous materials with extremely high porosity and surface area, structural diversity, multifunctionality, and chemical and structural stability, and thus they can be used in a wide range of applications. In the present review, we precisely discuss the interesting properties of MOFs and the various methodologies for their synthesis, and also the future dependence on the valorization of solid waste for the recovery of metals and organic ligands for the synthesis of new classes of MOFs. Subsequently, the utilization of these interesting characteristics for energy production (water splitting), storage of gaseous fuels (H2 and CH4), and electrochemical storage (batteries and supercapacitors) applications are described. However, although MOFs are efficient materials with versatile uses, they still have many challenges, limiting their practical applications. Therefore, finally, we highlight the challenges associated with MOFs and show the way forward in overcoming them for the development of these highly porous materials with large-scale practical utility.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted extensive attention in methane (CH4) purification and storage. Specially, multinuclear cluster-based MOFs usually have prominent performance because of large cluster size and abundant open metal sites. However, compared to diverse combinations of organic linkers, one MOF with two or more multinuclear clusters is difficult to achieve. In this paper, we demonstrate a mixed multinuclear cluster strategy, which successfully led to three new heterometallic MOFs (SNNU-328-330) with the same common H3TATB [2,4,6-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine] tritopic linker and six types of multinuclear clusters ([YCd(COO)4(μ2-H2O)], [YCd2(COO)8], [In3(COO)6(μ3-OH)], [In3Eu2(COO)9(μ3-OH)3(μ4-O)], [Y9(COO)12(μ3-OH)14] and [Y2Cd8(COO)16(μ2-H2O)4(μ3-OH)8]). Three MOF adsorbents all show great potentials to remove the impurities (CO2 and C2-hydrocarbons) in natural gas and show prominent high-pressure methane storage capacity. Among them, the ideal adsorbed solution theory separation ratios of equimolar C2H2/CH4, C2H4/CH4, C2H6/CH4, and CO2/CH4 at 298 K for SNNU-328 reach to 29.7-16.0, 19.1-8.2, 33.2-10.3, and 74.3-8.5, which have surpassed many famous MOF adsorbents. Dynamic breakthrough experiments conducted at 273 and 298 K showed that SNNU-330 can separate CH4 from C2H2/CH4, C2H4/CH4, C2H6/CH4, and CO2/CH4 mixtures with the breakthrough interval times of about 48.2, 17.9, 37.2, and 17.1 min g-1 (273 K, 1 bar, v/v = 50/50, 2 mL min-1), respectively. Remarkably, SNNU-329 exhibits extremely high methane storage performance at 298 K with the total uptake and working capacity of 192 cm3 cm-3 (95 bar) and 171 cm3 cm-3 (65 bar) due to the synergistic effects of high surface area, suitable pore sizes, and multiple open metal sites.

Abstract
A sulfonated poly(ethersulfone) (SPES)-metal-organic framework (MOF) film with excellent proton conductivity was synthesized by anchoring UiO-66-NH2 to the main chain of the aromatic polymer through the Hinsberg reaction. The chemical bond was formed between the amino group in MOFs and the -SO2Cl group in chlorosulfonated poly(ethersulfones) to conduct protons in the proton channel of the membrane, making the membrane have excellent proton conductivity. UiO-66-NH2 is successfully prepared as a result of the consistency of the experimental and simulated powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of MOFs. The existence of absorption peaks of characteristic functional groups in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra proved the successful preparation of SPES, PES-SO2Cl, and a composite film. The results of the AC impedance test indicate that the composite film with a 3% mass fraction has the best proton conductivity of 0.215 S·cm-1, which is 6.2 times higher than that of the blended film without a chemical bond at 98% RH and 353 K. To our knowledge, there are rarely any reports on the preparation of a composite membrane by directly linking MOFs and the membrane matrix with chemical bonds. This work provides a good way to synthesize the highly conductive proton exchange film.

Abstract
The fast and economical detection of trace polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) in food samples by current mass spectrum-based methods is hindered by tedious sample preparation and bulky & expensive analytical instruments. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) successfully detects many organic pollutants in foods but not dioxins because the employed metal nanoparticles weakly adsorb hydrophobic PCDDs. Herein, we report the detection of PCDDs in milk with SERS for the first time using a bifunctional substrate consisting of Au nanoparticles embedded in a zirconium-based metal-organic framework shell (AuNP/Zr-MOF). 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), as the most toxic PCDD, is detected as low as 1.2 parts per trillion (ppt) in real milk samples with massive interfering substances in 30 min, which is the lowest among all reported methods. The aromatic rings of Zr-MOF promote the smart accumulation of TCDD through π-π interactions, and Au-Cl interactions drive TCDD onto Au surfaces. Zr-MOF shells with pore sizes of 12.7 and 20 Å block the accessibility of larger interfering molecules. A one-step apparatus and protocol are established to be superior to traditional methods in terms of time and cost. This work provides new insight into a rational screening method for the detection of persistent organic pollutants in a real sample matrix.

In this paper, we adopt a new continuum approach with functional Lennard-Jones parameters to provide interaction energies for methane inside carbon nanostructures, namely fullerenes, nanotube bundles, and nanocones. This study provides a significant improvement to previous continuum modeling approaches using the Lennard-Jones potential.

Abstract
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) gasification coupled with adsorbed natural gas (ANG) charging (LNG-ANG coupling) is an emerging strategy for efficient delivery of natural gas. However, the potential of LNG-ANG to attain the advanced research projects agency-energy (ARPA-E) target for onboard methane storage has not been fully investigated. In this work, large-scale computational screening is performed for 5446 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and over 193 MOFs whose methane working capacities exceed the target (315 cm3 (STP) cm-3 ) are identified. Furthermore, structure-performance relationships are realized under the LNG-ANG condition using a machine learning method. Additional molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to investigate the effects of the structural changes during temperature and pressure swings, further narrowing down the materials, and two synthetic targets are identified. The synthesized DUT-23(Cu) and DUT-23(Co) show higher working capacities (≈373 cm3 (STP) cm-3 ) than that of any other porous material under ANG or LNG-ANG conditions, and excellent stability during cyclic LNG-ANG operation.

Abstract
Methane, as the main component of natural gas, shale gas, and marsh gas, is regarded as an ideal clean energy to replace traditional fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions. Porous materials with superior methane storage capacities are the key to the wide application of adsorbed natural gas technology in vehicle transportation. In this work, we applied a ligand tailoring strategy to a metal-organic framework (NOTT-101) to fine-tune its pore geometry, which was well characterized by gas and dye sorption measurements. High-pressure methane sorption isotherms revealed that the methane storage performance of the modified NOTT-101 can be effectively improved by decreasing the unusable uptake at 5 bar and increasing the total uptake under high pressures, achieving a substantially high volumetric methane storage working capacity of 190 cm3 (STP) cm-3 at 298 K and 5-80 bar.

Abstract
Remarkable methane uptake is demonstrated experimentally in three metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) identified by computational screening: UTSA‐76, UMCM‐152 and DUT‐23‐Cu. These MOFs outperform the benchmark sorbent, HKUST‐1, both volumetrically and gravimetrically, under a pressure swing of 80 to 5 bar at 298 K. Although high uptake at elevated pressure is critical for achieving this performance, a low density of high‐affinity sites (coordinatively unsaturated metal centers) also contributes to a more complete release of stored gas at low pressure. The identification of these MOFs facilitates the efficient storage of natural gas via adsorption and provides further evidence of the utility of computational screening in identifying overlooked sorbents.

Abstract
The morphology of nanomaterials (geometric shape and dimension) play a significant role in its various physical and chemical properties. Thus, it is essential to link morphology with performance in specific applications. For this purpose, the morphology of copper metal-organic polyhedra (Cu-MOP) can be modulated through distinct assembly process, which facilitates the exploration of the relationship between morphology and catalytic performance. In this work, the assemblies of Cu-MOP with three different morphologies (nanorods, nanofibers and nanosheets) were facilely prepared by the variation of solvent mixture of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol, revealed the important role of the interaction between the surface group and the solvent on the morphology of these assemblies. Cu-MOP nanofibers exhibited the highest mimetic peroxidase enzyme activity over the Cu-MOP nanosheets and nanorods, which have been utilized in the detection of glucose. Cu-MOPs assemblies with tunable morphology accompanied with adjustable mimic peroxidase activity, had great potential applications in the field of bioanalytical chemistry and biomedicals.

Abstract
The breathing effects of functionalized MIL-53-X (X=H, CH3 , NH2 , OH, and NO2 ) induced by the inclusions of water, methanol, acetone, and N,N-dimethylformamide solvents were comprehensively investigated by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. 2D homo-nuclear correlation NMR provided direct experimental evidence for the host-guest interaction between the guest solvents and the MOF frameworks. The variations of the 1 H and 13 C NMR chemical shifts in functionalized MIL-53 from the narrow pore phase transitions to large pore forms due to solvent inclusions were clearly identified. The influence of functionalized linkers and their host-guest interactions with the confined solvents on the rotational dynamics of the linkers was examined by separated-local-field MAS NMR experiments in conjunction with DFT theoretical calculations. It is found that the linker rotational dynamics of functionalized MIL-53 in narrow pore form is closely related to the computational rotational energy barrier. The BDC-NO2 linker of activated MIL-53-NO2 undergoes relatively faster rotation, whereas the BDC-NH2 and BDC-OH linkers of activated MIL-53-NH2 and MIL-53-OH exhibit relatively slower rotation. The host-guest interactions between confined solvents and MIL-53-NO2 , MIL-53-CH3 would significantly induce an increase of the order parameters of unsubstituted carbon and reduce the rotational frequency of linkers. This study provides a spectroscopic approach for the investigation of linker rotation in functionalized MOFs at natural abundance with solvents inclusions.

Abstract
![]()
The organic components
in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)
are unique: they are embedded in a crystalline lattice, yet, as they
are separated from each other by tunable free space, a large variety
of dynamic behavior can emerge. These rotational dynamics of the organic
linkers are especially important due to their influence over properties
such as gas adsorption and kinetics of guest release. To fully exploit
linker rotation, such as in the form of molecular machines, it is
necessary to engineer correlated linker dynamics to achieve their
cooperative functional motion. Here, we show that for MIL-53, a topology
with closely spaced rotors, the phenylene functionalization allows
researchers to tune the rotors’ steric environment, shifting
linker rotation from completely static to rapid motions at frequencies
above 100 MHz. For steric interactions that start to inhibit independent
rotor motion, we identify for the first time the emergence of coupled
rotation modes in linker dynamics. These findings pave the way for
function-specific engineering of gear-like cooperative motion in MOFs.

Abstract
Reticular chemistry and methane storage materials have been predominately focused on finite metal-cluster-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In contrast, MOFs constructed from infinite rod secondary building units (SBUs), i.e., rod MOFs, are less developed, and the existing ones are typically built from simple one-way helical, zigzag, or (mixed)polyhedron SBUs. Herein, inspired by a recent unveiled structure of Zn6(H2O)3(BTP)4 and by means of an amide-functionalized preliminary single tricarboxylate, a subsequent mixed tricarboxylate, and dicarboxylate linkers, an intricate three-way rod MOF and the next three isoreticular three-way rod MOFs have been successfully realized, namely, 3W-ROD-1 and 3W-ROD-2-X (X = -OH, -F, and -CH3), respectively. The structural analyses disclosed that the four compounds were constructed from unprecedented three-way invariant nonintersecting trigonal rod-packing SBUs cross-linked via the noncovalent-interaction-driven self-assembly of pseudo hexacarboxylates with the original tricarboxylate or different functional ditopic linkers, resulting in cage-like pore geometries accessible via ultramicroporous apertures concomitant with the complex topology transitivity, namely, 18 42 and 18 44. Sorption studies show that the apparent surface areas of these materials are among the most highly porous materials for rod MOFs. Due to the presence of favorable pocket sites created by X, ketone, and proximal amide groups as revealed by Monte Carlo molecular dynamics (MCMD) computational calculations, the MOFs exhibit impressive methane storage working capacities, outperforming the well-known rod Ni-MOF-74 and representing the highest values among rigid rod MOFs.

Abstract
The coordination connection of organic linkers to the metal clusters leads to the formation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), where the metal clusters and ligands are spatially entangled in a periodic manner. The immense availability of tuneable ligands of different length and functionalities gives rise to robust molecular porosity ranging from several angstroms to nanometres. Among the large family of MOFs, hafnium (Hf) based MOFs have been demonstrated to be highly promising for practical applications due to their unique and outstanding characteristics such as chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability, and acidic nature. Since the report of UiO-66(Hf) and DUT-51(Hf) in 2012, less than 200 Hf-MOFs (ca. 50 types of structures) have been reported. Besides, tetravalent cerium [Ce(iv)] has been proven to be capable of forming similar topological MOF structures to Zr and Hf since its first discovery in 2015. So far, ca. 40 Ce(iv) MOFs with 60% having UiO-66-type structure have been reported. This review will offer a holistic summary of the chemistry, uniqueness, synthesis, and applications of Hf/Ce(iv)-MOFs with a focus on presenting the development in the Hf/Ce(iv)-clusters, topologies, ligand structures, synthetic strategies, and practical applications of Hf/Ce(iv)-MOFs. In the end, we will present the research outlook for the development of Hf/Ce(iv)-MOFs in the future, including fundamental design of Hf/Ce(iv)-clusters, defect engineering, and various applications including membrane development, diversified types of catalytic reactions, irradiation absorption in nuclear waste treatment, water production and wastewater treatment, etc. We will also present the emerging computational approaches coupled with machine-learning algorithms that can be applied in screening Hf and Ce(iv) based MOF structures and identifying the best-performing MOFs for tailor-made applications in future practice.

Abstract
To develop a high-performance methane storage material, an understanding of the mechanism and electronic interactions between methane and the material is essential. In this study, we performed detailed theoretical analyses to investigate the methane storage capacity of Ni-MOF-74 using a large-scale periodic DFT code CONQUEST. In a single pore of the unit cell, we considered three possible sites, iSBU, L, and P sites, where iSBU is the inorganic secondary building unit with a metal center, and L is the linker consisting of the organic building unit, while the P site is the vacuum site in the center of the pore. It shows that the methane molecule adsorption possesses the largest methane molecule adsorption energy on the iSBU site. Our calculations indicate that both C-HO and weak agostic interactions exist between the methane molecule and the iSBU site. The adsorption energy of one methane molecule on the iSBU site is in good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical studies. The calculation of the stepwise methane molecule adsorption shows that the first six methane molecules can first occupy the iSBU sites via C-HO and weak agostic interactions. The second six methane molecules are adsorbed on the remaining L sites, where the C-Hπ interaction becomes important, leading to the synergistic effect together with the C-HO interaction to enhance the adsorption energy of the methane molecule. Finally, it can adsorb up to sixteen CH4 molecules in a single pore of a unit cell at Ni-MOF-74. Moreover, we conducted DOS and EDD analyses, which clearly show that the interactions play a vital role in the adsorption of a methane molecule on Ni-MOF-74, especially the C-HO interaction.

Abstract
Microporous materials have attracted a rapid growth of research interest in materials science and the multidisciplinary area because of their wide applications in catalysis, separation, ion exchange, gas storage, drug release, and sensing. A fundamental understanding of their diverse structures and properties is crucial for rational design of high-performance materials and technological applications in industry. Solid-state NMR (SSNMR), capable of providing atomic-level information on both structure and dynamics, is a powerful tool in the scientific exploration of solid materials. Here, advanced SSNMR instruments and methods for characterization of microporous materials are briefly described. The recent progress of the application of SSNMR for the investigation of microporous materials including zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, porous aromatic frameworks, and layered materials is discussed with representative work. The versatile SSNMR techniques provide detailed information on the local structure, dynamics, and chemical processes in the confined space of porous materials. The challenges and prospects in SSNMR study of microporous and related materials are discussed.

Abstract
The ability to crosslink Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) has recently been discovered as a flexible approach towards synthesizing MOF-templated “ideal network polymers”. Crosslinking MOFs with rigid cross-linkers would allow the synthesis of crystalline Covalent-Organic Frameworks (COFs) of so far unprecedented flexibility in network topologies, far exceeding the conventional direct COF synthesis approach. However, to date only flexible cross-linkers were used in the MOF crosslinking approach, since a rigid cross-linker would require an ideal fit between the MOF structure and the cross-linker, which is experimentally extremely challenging, making in silico design mandatory. Here, we present an effective geometric method to find an ideal MOF cross-linker pair by employing a high-throughput screening approach. The algorithm considers distances, angles, and arbitrary rotations to optimally match the cross-linker inside the MOF structures. In a second, independent step, using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations we quantitatively confirmed all matches provided by the screening. Our approach thus provides a robust and powerful method to identify ideal MOF/Cross-linker combinations, which helped to identify several MOF-to-COF candidate structures by starting from suitable libraries. The algorithms presented here can be extended to other advanced network structures, such as mechanically interlocked materials or molecular weaving and knots.

Abstract
Constructing flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with targeted properties is of high interest given their demonstrated potential as smart materials that undergo structural transformations in response to external stimuli. Herein, we report a flexible and interpenetrated indium-based MOF, NU-50, comprising four-connected [In(CO2)4]- nodes and tetracarboxylate pyrene-based ligands assembled in the pts topology. The flexible framework of NU-50 exhibits intricate structural transformations upon exposure to external stimuli, namely, guest solvent molecules and elevated temperatures. The high density of pyrene moieties throughout the interpenetrated framework offers numerous sites for the adsorption of highly conjugated guest molecules such as atrazine via π-π interactions. As a result, NU-50 efficiently removes atrazine from water, achieving a maximum atrazine uptake capacity of 74 mg of atrazine per gram of NU-50. Molecular simulations reveal that the dynamic behavior of NU-50 involves the distortion of metal-ligand bonds, resulting in a narrow pore structure that affords effective adsorption of atrazine molecules in a sandwich-like geometry. Moreover, washing in acetone quickly regenerates the sorbent.

Abstract
In this review, the evolution of paradigm shifts in CH4 adsorbent design are discussed. The criteria used as characteristic of paradigms are first reports, systematic findings, and reports of record CH4 storage or deliverable capacity. Various paradigms were used such as the systematic design of micropore affinity and pore size, functionalization, structure optimization, high throughput in silico screening, advanced material property design which includes flexibility, intrinsic heat management, mesoporosity and ultraporosity, and process condition optimization. Here, the literature is reviewed to elucidate how the approach to CH4 adsorbent design has progressed and provide strategies that could be implemented in the future.

Abstract
The environmental benefits of cleaner, gaseous fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen are widely reported. Yet, practical usage of these fuels is inhibited by current gas storage technology. Here, we discuss the wide-ranging potential of gas-fuels to revolutionize the energy sector and introduce the limitations of current storage technology that prevent this transition from taking place. The practical capabilities of adsorptive gas storage using porous, crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are examined with regard to recent benchmark results and ultimate storage targets in this field. In particular, the industrial limitations of typically powdered MOFs are discussed while recent breakthroughs in MOF processing are highlighted. We offer our perspective on the future of practical, rather than purely academic, MOF developments in the increasingly critical field of environmental fuel storage.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) gain increasing interest due to their outstanding properties like extremely high porosity, structural variability, and various possibilities for functionalization. Their overall structure is usually determined by diffraction techniques. However, diffraction is often not sensitive for subtle local structural changes and ordering effects as well as dynamics and flexibility effects. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy is sensitive for short range interactions and thus complementary to diffraction techniques. Novel methodical advances make ssNMR experiments increasingly suitable to tackle the above mentioned problems and challenges. NMR spectroscopy also allows study of host-guest interactions between the MOF lattice and adsorbed guest species. Understanding the underlying mechanisms and interactions is particularly important with respect to applications such as gas and liquid separation processes, gas storage, and others. Special in situ NMR experiments allow investigation of properties and functions of MOFs under controlled and application-relevant conditions. The present minireview explains the potential of various solid-state and in situ NMR techniques and illustrates their application to MOFs by highlighting selected examples from recent literature.

Abstract
Physical adsorption of gas molecules in microporous materials is an exothermic process, with desorption entropy driving a decrease in uptake with temperature. Enhanced gas sorption with increasing temperature is rare in porous materials and is indicative of sorbate initiated structural change. Here, sorption of C2H6, C3H6, and C3H8 in a flexible microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) {Cu(FPBDC)]·DMF}n (NKU-FlexMOF-1) (H2FPBDC = 5-(5-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid) that increases with rising temperature over a practically useful temperature and pressure range is reported along with other small molecule and hydrocarbon sorption isotherms. Single X-ray diffraction studies, temperature-dependent gas sorption isotherms, in situ and variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction experiments, and electronic structure calculations were performed to characterize the conformation-dependent sorption behavior in NKU-FlexMOF-1. In total, the data supports that the atypical sorption behavior is a result of loading-dependent structural changes in the flexible framework of NKU-FlexMOF-1 induced by sorbate-specific guest-framework interactions. The sorbates cause subtle adaptations of the framework distinct to each sorbate providing an induced-fit separation mechanism to resolve chemically similar hydrocarbons through highly specific sorbate-sorbent interactions. The relevant intermolecular contacts are shown to be predominantly repulsion and dispersion interactions. NKU-FlexMOF-1 is also found to be stable in aqueous solutions including toleration of pH changes. These experiments demonstrate the potential of this flexible microporous MOF for cost and energy efficient industrial hydrocarbon separation and purification processes. The efficacy for the separation of C3H6/C3H8 mixtures is explicitly demonstrated using NKU-FlexMOF-1a (i.e., activated NKU-FlexMOF-1) for a particular useful temperature range.

Abstract
Methane can be stored by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, there remain challenges in the implementation of MOFs for adsorbed natural gas (ANG) systems. These challenges include thermal management, storage capacity losses due to MOF packing and densification, and natural gas impurities. In this review, we discuss discoveries about how MOFs can be designed to address these three challenges. For example, Fe(bdp) (bdp2− = 1,4-benzenedipyrazolate) was discovered to have intrinsic thermal management and released 41% less heat than HKUST-1 (HKUST = Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) during adsorption. Monolithic HKUST-1 was discovered to have a working capacity 259 cm3 (STP) cm−3 (STP = standard temperature and pressure equivalent volume of methane per volume of the adsorbent material: T = 273.15 K, P = 101.325 kPa), which is a 50% improvement over any other previously reported experimental value and virtually matches the 2012 Department of Energy (Department of Energy = DOE) target of 263 cm3 (STP) cm−3 after successful packing and densification. In the case of natural gas impurities, higher hydrocarbons and other molecules may poison or block active sites in MOFs, resulting in up to a 50% reduction of the deliverable energy. This reduction can be mitigated by pore engineering.

Abstract
Pillared graphene bubble framework is selected as the methane storage vessel in this article. All investigations of methane adsorption are executed by using the MD simulations. The average adsorption energy of methane on different bubble models is between - 4.3 and - 5.2 kcal/mol, which is desirable for absorbing and desorbing gas molecules. The methane adsorption properties of bubble models are obviously different from those of pillared graphene. The effect of graphene interlayer spacing on methane adsorption in selected bubble models can be negligible. Nevertheless, bubble density and temperature have a significant influence on methane adsorption. The amount of adsorbed methane on pillared bubble models at room temperature can reach up to 18.2 mmol/g. This performance of methane adsorption on pillared graphene bubble structures may bring new enlightenment to the investigations of gas storage materials.

Abstract
Porous molecular solids are promising materials for gas storage and gas separation applications. However, given the relative dearth of structural information concerning these materials, additional studies are vital for further understanding their properties and developing design parameters for their optimization. Here, we examine a series of isostructural cuboctahedral, paddlewheel-based coordination cages, M24(tBu-bdc)24 (M = Cr, Mo, Ru; tBu-bdc2- = 5-tert-butylisophthalate), for high-pressure methane storage. As the decrease in crystallinity upon activation of these porous molecular materials precludes diffraction studies, we turn to a related class of pillared coordination cage-based metal-organic frameworks, M24(Me-bdc)24(dabco)6 (M = Fe, Co; Me-bdc2- = 5-methylisophthalate; dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) for neutron diffraction studies. The five porous materials display BET surface areas from 1057-1937 m2/g and total methane uptake capacities of up to 143 cm3(STP)/cm3. Both the porous cages and cage-based frameworks display methane adsorption enthalpies of -15 to -22 kJ/mol. Also supported by molecular modeling, neutron diffraction studies indicate that the triangular windows of the cage are favorable methane adsorption sites with CD4-arene interactions between 3.7 and 4.1 Å. At both low and high loadings, two additional methane adsorption sites on the exterior surface of the cage are apparent for a total of 56 adsorption sites per cage. These results show that M24L24 cages are competent gas storage materials and further adsorption sites may be optimized by judicious ligand functionalization to control extracage pore space.

Abstract
Gases are widely used as energy resources for industry and our daily life. Developing energy cost efficient porous materials for gas storage and separation is of fundamentally and industrially important, and is one of the most important aspects of energy chemistry and materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), representing a novel class of porous materials, feature unique pore structure, such as exceptional porosity, tunable pore structures, ready functionalization, which not only enables high density energy storage of clean fuel gas in MOF adsorbents, but also facilitates distinct host-guest interactions and/or sieving effects to differentiate different molecules for energy-efficient separation economy. In this review, we summarize and highlight the recent advances in the arena of gas storage and separation using MOFs as adsorbents, including progresses in MOF-based membranes for gas separation, which could afford broader concepts to the current status and challenges in this field.

Abstract
Much has been written about the fundamental aspects of the metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Still, details concerning the MOFs with structural flexibility are not comprehensively understood. However, a dramatic increase in research activities concerning rigid MOFs over the years has brought deeper levels of understanding for their properties and applications. Nonetheless, robustness and flexibility of such smart frameworks are intriguing for different research areas such as catalysis, adsorption, etc. This manuscript overviews the different aspects of framework flexibility. The review has touched lightly on several ideas and proposals, which have been demonstrated within the selected examples to provide a logical basis to obtain a fundamental understanding of their synthesis and behavior to external stimuli.

Abstract
Rapid and low-cost synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are very meaningful for their future practical application. In the present study, a Zr-based ultrastable MOF, UiO-66-NH2, was successfully synthesized by electrochemical method using metal Zr as the metal source at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The effects of the reaction conditions, including the ratio of solvent (electrolyte), the applied voltage and different reaction time, on the crystallinity, morphology, and synthesis rate of the product were fully investigated. The results confirm that electrochemically synthesized UiO-66-NH2 under the optimized condition possesses apparent merits such as high crystallinity, uniform morphology and high porosity. Moreover, the electrochemical synthesis method of UiO-66-NH2 is promising for the large-scale and economical synthesis of nanoscale product to gramme degree. Interestingly, the resulting UiO-66-NH2 synthesized by this electrochemical method exhibits more excellent performance for the fluorescence detection of Fe3+ ions in water (detection limit of 10-8 mol/L) than that of the material prepared by solvothermal method.
