Abstract
All-solid-state sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have the potential to offer large-scale, safe, cost-effective, and sustainable energy storage solutions by supplementing the industry-leading lithium-ion batteries. However, for the enhanced bulk properties of SIB components (e.g., solid electrolytes), a comprehensive understanding of their atomic-scale structure and the dynamic behavior of sodium (Na) ions is essential. Here, we utilize a robust multinuclear (23Na, 125Te, 25Mg, and 67Zn) magnetic resonance approach to explore a novel Mg/Zn homogeneously mixed-cation honeycomb-layered oxide Na2MgxZn2-xTeO6 solid solution series. These new intermediate compounds exhibit tailorable bulk Na-ion conductivity (σ) with the highest σ = 0.14 × 10-4 S cm-1 for Na2MgZnTeO6 at room temperature suitable for SIB solid electrolyte applications as observed by powder electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A combination of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) reveals highly crystalline phase-pure compounds in the P6322 space group. We show that the Mg/Zn disorder is random within the honeycomb layers using 125Te nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and resolve multiple Na sites using two-dimensional (triple-quantum magic-angle spinning (3QMAS)) 23Na NMR. The medium-range disorder in the honeycomb layer is revealed through the combination of 25Mg and 67Zn NMR, complemented by electronic structure calculations using density functional theory (DFT). Furthermore, we expose very fast local Na-ion hopping processes (hopping rate, 1/τNMR = 0.83 × 109 Hz) by using a laser to achieve variable high-temperature (∼860 K) 23Na NMR, which are sensitive to different Mg/Zn ratios. The Na2MgZnTeO6 with maximum Mg/Zn disorder displays the highest short-range Na-ion dynamics among all of the solid solution members.

Abstract
A series of medium- and long-chain zinc carboxylates (zinc octanoate, zinc nonanoate, zinc decanoate, zinc undecanoate, zinc dodecanoate, zinc pivalate, zinc stearate, zinc palmitate, zinc oleate, and zinc azelate) was analyzed by ultra-high-field 67Zn NMR spectroscopy up to 35.2 T, as well as 13C NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. We also report the single-crystal X-ray diffraction structures of zinc nonanoate, zinc decanoate, and zinc oleate-the first long-chain carboxylate single-crystals to be reported for zinc. The NMR and X-ray diffraction data suggest that the carboxylates exist in three distinct geometric groups, based on structural and spectroscopic parameters. The ssNMR results presented here present a future for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-NMR-based minimally invasive methods for testing artwork for the presence of zinc carboxylates.

Abstract
Dye effluents from various sectors have constantly imperilled the environment and ecosystem. Nano-composite membrane technology incorporating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has shown tremendous potential for toxic pollutant remediation. This study details the impact of ZIF-67 MOF nanoparticles on the structural properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membrane during the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) process. In order to outline the properties that determine the performance parameters in a MOF-modified mixed matrix membrane, the corresponding changes in mean pore size (MPS), surface porosity, solvent viscosity, and hydrophilicity have been discussed with appropriate surface characterization analysis. The suitability of ZIF-67 as filler nanoparticles were established based on polymer compatibility, dispersibility, and water stability studies. The ZIF-67 incorporated PVDF mixed matrix membranes (MMM) showed 99.5% CR dye removal with 2.6 times DI water permeability than the neat. The flux recovery ratio (FRR) improved by 1.9 times and the membranes were found suitable for up to 5 filtration cycles. Based on the overall results, a correlation analysis between the MMM surface properties and membrane performance parameters were established to determine the key performance parameters. It was observed that in comparison to MPS, surface porosity was more correlated to Jd/Jw (r = 0.96) and FRR (r = 0.95).

Abstract
Metal coordination compound (MCC) glasses [e.g., metal-organic framework (MOF) glass, coordination polymer glass, and metal inorganic-organic complex (MIOC) glass] are emerging members of the hybrid glass family. So far, a limited number of crystalline MCCs can be converted into glasses by melt-quenching. Here, we report a universal wet-chemistry method, by which the super-sized supramolecular MIOC glasses can be synthesized from non-meltable MOFs. Alcohol and acid were used as agents to inhibit crystallization. The MIOC glasses demonstrate unique features including high transparency, shaping capability, and anisotropic network. Directional photoluminescence with a large polarization ratio (≈47 %) was observed from samples doped with organic dyes. This crystallization-suppressing approach enables fabrication of super-sized MCC glasses, which cannot be achieved by conventional vitrification methods, and thus allows for exploring new MCC glasses possessing photonic functionalities.

Abstract
Separations based on molecular size (molecular sieving) are a solution for environmental remediation. We have synthesized and characterized two new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Zn2M; M = Zn, Cd) with ultramicropores (<0.7 nm) suitable for molecular sieving. We explore the synthesis of these MOFs and the role that the DMSO/H2O/DMF solvent mixture has on the crystallization process. We further explore the crystallographic data for the DMSO and methanol solvated structures at 273 and 100 K; this not only results in high-quality structural data but also allows us to better understand the structural features at temperatures around the gas adsorption experiments. Structurally, the main difference between the two MOFs is that the central metal in the trimetallic node can be changed from Zn to Cd and that results in a sub-Å change in the size of the pore aperture, but a stark change in the gas adsorption properties. The separation selectivity of the MOF when M = Zn is infinite given the pore aperture of the MOF can accommodate CO2 while N2 and/or CH4 is excluded from entering the pore. Furthermore, due to the size exclusion behavior, the MOF has an adsorption selectivity of 4800:1 CO2/N2 and 5 × 1028:1 CO2/CH4. When M = Cd, the pore aperture of the MOF increases slightly, allowing N2 and CH4 to enter the pore, resulting in a 27.5:1 and a 10.5:1 adsorption selectivity, respectively; this is akin to UiO-66, a MOF that is not able to function as a molecular sieve for these gases. The data delineate how subtle sub-Å changes to the pore aperture of a framework can drastically affect both the adsorption selectivity and separation selectivity.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR can afford the structural information about the chemical composition, local environment, and spatial coordination at the atomic level, which has been extensively applied to characterize the detailed structure and host-guest interactions in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In this review, recent advances for the structural characterizations of MOFs using versatile solid-state NMR techniques were briefly introduced. High-field sensitivity-enhanced solid-state NMR method enabled the direct observation of metal centers in MOFs containing low-γ nuclei. Two-dimensional (2D) homo- and hetero-nuclear correlation MAS NMR experiments provided the spatial proximity among linkers, metal clusters and the introduced guest molecules. Moreover, quantitative measurement of inter-nuclear distances using solid-state NMR provided valuable structural information about the connectivity geometry as well as the host-guest interactions within MOFs. Furthermore, solid-state NMR has exhibited great potential for unraveling the structure property of MOFs containing paramagnetic metal centers.

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
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
The structure of melt-quenched zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) glasses can provide insights into their glass-formation mechanism. We directly detected short-range disorder in ZIF glasses using ultrahigh-field zinc-67 solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Two distinct Zn sites characteristic of the parent crystals transformed upon melting into a single tetrahedral site with a broad distribution of structural parameters. Moreover, the ligand chemistry in ZIFs appeared to have no controlling effect on the short-range disorder, although the former affected their phase-transition behavior. These findings reveal structure-property relations and could help design metal-organic framework glasses.

Abstract
We present a detailed 2H NMR characterization of molecular mobility of propene and propane propagating though the microporous ZIF-8, a zeolitic imidazolate framework renowned for its outstandingly high separation selectivity for industrially relevant propene/propane mixtures. Experimental characterization of both propene and propane diffusivity in ZIF-8 has been provided. Using 2H NMR spin relaxation analysis, the motional mechanisms for propene and propane guests trapped within the ZIF-8 framework have been elucidated. Kinetic parameters for each type of motion were derived. The characteristic times for microscopic translational diffusion and activation barriers (EC3H8 = 38 kJ mol-1, EC3H6 = 13.5 kJ mol-1) for propane and propene diffusivities have been estimated. A notable difference in the observed activation barriers emphasizes that the ZIF-8 window crossing is associated with the "gate-opening" and represents an extremely shape selective process. Finally, we show that the 2H NMR technique is capable of providing reliable information on microscopic diffusivity in the ZIF-8 MOF even for molecules with slow diffusivity (<10-14 m2 s-1).

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising gas adsorbents. Knowledge of the behavior of gas molecules adsorbed inside MOFs is crucial for advancing MOFs as gas capture materials. However, their behavior is not always well understood. In this work, carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption in the microporous α-Zn3(HCOO)6 MOF was investigated. The behavior of the CO2 molecules inside the MOF was comprehensively studied by a combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and multinuclear solid-state magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The locations of CO2 molecules adsorbed inside the channels of the framework were accurately determined using SCXRD, and the framework hydrogens from the formate linkers were found to act as adsorption sites. 67Zn solid-state NMR (SSNMR) results suggest that CO2 adsorption does not significantly affect the metal center environment. Variable-temperature 13C SSNMR experiments were performed to quantitatively examine guest dynamics. The results indicate that CO2 molecules adsorbed inside the MOF channel undergo two types of anisotropic motions: a localized rotation (or wobbling) upon the adsorption site and a twofold hopping between adjacent sites located along the MOF channel. Interestingly, 13C SSNMR spectroscopy targeting adsorbed CO2 reveals negative thermal expansion (NTE) of the framework as the temperature rose past ca. 293 K. A comparative study shows that carbon monoxide (CO) adsorption does not induce framework shrinkage at high temperatures, suggesting that the NTE effect is guest-specific.

Abstract
We present a review of recent advances in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) studies of exotic nuclei. Exotic nuclei may be spin-1/2 or quadrupolar, and typically have low gyromagnetic ratios, low natural abundances, large quadrupole moments (when I > 1/2), or some combination of these properties, generally resulting in low receptivities and/or prohibitively broad line widths. Some nuclides are little studied for other reasons, also rendering them somewhat exotic. We first discuss some of the recent progress in pulse sequences and hardware development which continues to enable researchers to study new kinds of materials as well as previously unfeasible nuclei. This is followed by a survey of applications to a wide range of exotic nuclei (including e.g., 9Be, 25Mg, 33S, 39K, 43Ca, 47/49Ti, 53Cr, 59Co, 61Ni, 67Zn, 73Ge, 75As, 87Sr, 115In, 119Sn, 121/123Sb, 135/137Ba, 185/187Re, 209Bi), most of them quadrupolar. The scope of the review is the past ten years, i.e., 2007-2017.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR was utilized to explore the host-guest interaction between adsorbate and adsorbent at atomic level to understand the separation mechanism of styrene (St) and ethylbenzene (EB) in MIL-53(Al). 13C-27Al double-resonance NMR experiments revealed that the host-guest interaction between St and MIL-53 was much stronger than that of EB adsorption. In addition, 13C DIPSHIFT experiments suggested that the adsorbed St was less mobile than EB confined inside the MIL-53 pore. Furthermore, the host-guest interaction model between St, EB and MIL-53 was established on the basis of the spatial proximities information extracted from 2D 1H-1H homo-nuclear correlation NMR experiments. According to the experimental observation from solid-state NMR, it was found that the presence of π-π interaction between St and MIL-53 resulted in the stronger host-guest interaction and less mobility of St. This work provides direct experimental evidence for understanding the separation mechanism of St and EB using MIL-53 as an adsorbent.

Abstract
An exciting advance in materials science is the discovery of hybrid organic-inorganic solids known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Although they have numerous important applications, the local structures, specific molecular-level features, and guest behaviors underpinning desirable properties and applications are often unknown. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) is a powerful tool for MOF characterization as it provides information complementary to that from X-ray diffraction (XRD). We describe our novel pursuits in the three primary applications of SSNMR for MOF characterization: interrogating the metal center, targeting linker molecules, and probing guests. MOFs have relatively low densities, and the incorporated metals are often quadrupolar nuclei, making SSNMR detection difficult. Recently, we examined the local structures of metal centers (i.e., 25Mg, 47/49Ti, 63/65Cu, 67Zn, 69/71Ga, 91Zr, 115In, 135/137Ba, 139La, 27Al) in representative MOFs by SSNMR at a high magnetic field of 21.1 T, addressing several important issues: (1) resolving chemically and crystallographically nonequivalent metal sites; (2) exploring the origin of disorder around metals; (3) refining local metal geometry; (4) probing the effects of activation and adsorption on the metal local environment; and (5) monitoring in situ phase changes in MOFs. Organic linkers can be characterized by 1H, 13C, and 17O SSNMR. Although the framework structure can be determined by X-ray diffraction, hydrogen atoms cannot be accurately located, and thus the local structure about hydrogen is poorly characterized. Our work demonstrates that magic-angle spinning (MAS) experiments at very high magnetic field along with ultrafast spinning rates and isotope dilution enables one to obtain ultrahigh resolution 1H MAS spectra of MOFs, yielding structural information truly complementary to that obtained from single-crystal XRD. Oxygen is a key constituent of many important MOFs but 17O SSNMR work on MOFs is scarce due to the low natural abundance of 17O. 17O enriched MOFs can now be prepared in an efficient and economically feasible manner using solvothermal approaches involving labeled H217O water; the resulting 17O SSNMR spectra provide distinct spectral signatures of various key oxygen species in representative MOFs. MOFs are suitable for the capture of the greenhouse gas CO2 and the storage of energy carrier gases such as H2 and CH4. A better understanding of gas adsorption obtained using 13C, 2H, and 17O SSNMR will enable researchers to improve performance and realize practical applications for MOFs as gas adsorbents and carriers. The combination of SSNMR with XRD allows us to determine the number of adsorption sites in the framework, identify the location of binding sites, gain physical insight into the nature and strength of host-guest interactions, and understand guest dynamics.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subclass of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with extended three-dimensional networks of transition metal nodes (bridged by rigid imidazolate linkers), with potential applications in gas storage and separation, sensing and controlled delivery of drug molecules. Here, we investigate the use of 13C and 15N solid-state NMR spectroscopy to characterise the local structure and disorder in a variety of single- and dual-linker ZIFs. In most cases, a combination of a basic knowledge of chemical shifts typically observed in solution-state NMR spectroscopy and the use of dipolar dephasing NMR experiments to reveal information about quaternary carbon species are combined to enable spectral assignment. Accurate measurement of the anisotropic components of the chemical shift provided additional information to characterise the local environment and the possibility of trying to understand the relationships between NMR parameters and both local and long-range structure. First-principles calculations on some of the simpler, ordered ZIFs were possible, and provided support for the spectral assignments, while comparison of these model systems to more disordered ZIFs aided interpretation of the more complex spectra obtained. It is shown that 13C and 15N NMR are sufficiently sensitive to detect small changes in the local environment, e.g., functionalisation of the linker, crystallographic inequivalence and changes to the framework topology, while the relative proportion of each linker present can be obtained by comparing relative intensities of resonances corresponding to chemically-similar species in cross polarisation experiments with short contact times. Therefore, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and in particular the measurement of both isotropic and anisotropic parameters, offers a useful tool for the structural study of ordered and, in particular, disordered ZIFs.

Abstract
Microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have high surface areas and porosities, and are well-suited for CO2 capture. MIL-53 features corner-sharing MO4(OH)2 (M = Al, Ga, Cr, etc.) octahedra interconnected by benzenedicarboxylate linkers that form one-dimensional rhombic tunnels, and exhibits an excellent adsorption ability for guest molecules such as CO2. Studying the behavior of adsorbed CO2 in MIL-53 via solid-state NMR (SSNMR) provides rich information on the dynamic motion of guest molecules as well as their binding strengths to the MOF host, and sheds light on the specific guest adsorption mechanisms. Variable-temperature (13)C SSNMR spectra of (13)CO2 adsorbed within various forms of MIL-53 are acquired and analyzed. CO2 undergoes a combination of two motions within MIL-53; we report the types of motion present, their rates, and rotational angles. (1)H-(13)C CP SSNMR experiments are used to examine the proximity of (1)H atoms in the MOF to (13)C atoms in CO2 guests. By replacing (1)H with (2)H in MIL-53, the location of the CO2 adsorption site in MIL-53 is experimentally confirmed by (1)H-(13)C CP SSNMR. The binding strength of CO2 within these MIL-53 MOFs follows the order MIL-53-NH2 (Al) > MIL-53-NH2 (Ga) > MIL-53 (Al) > MIL-53 (Ga).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the mechanism(s) responsible for the profound impact germanium has on the setting reaction of zinc silicate glass ionomer cements (GICs). METHODS Five <45μm glass powder compositions (0.48-xSiO2, xGeO2, 0.36 ZnO, 0.16 CaO; where x=0.12, 0.24, 0.36, 0.48mol. fraction) were synthesized. Glass degradation was assessed under simulated setting conditions using acetic acid from 0.5 to 60min, monitoring the concentrations of ions released using ICP-OES. Subsequently, GICs were prepared by mixing fresh glass powders with polyacrylic acid (PAA, Mw=12,500g/mol, 50wt% aq. solution) at a 1:0.75 ratio. Cement structure and properties were evaluated using ATR-FTIR and rheology (for 60min), as well as 24h biaxial flexural strength. RESULTS Reduced Si:Ge ratios yielded faster degrading glasses, yet contrary to expectation, the corresponding ATR-FTIR spectra indicated slower crosslinking within the GIC matrix. Rheology testing found the initial viscosity cement pastes reduced with decreased Si:Ge, and Ge containing cements all set significantly slower than the Si based GIC. Interestingly, biaxial flexural strength remained consistent regardless of setting behavior. SIGNIFICANCE This counter-intuitive combination of behaviors is attributed to the presence of a chemical complex species specific to Ge-containing glasses that delays, but does not hinder, the formation of the GIC matrix. These findings embody chemical complex species as a mechanism to decouple glass reactivity from cement setting rate, a mechanism with the potential to enhance the utility of GICs in both dental and orthopaedic applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) stands out as a promising material with great potential in application areas, such as gas separation and catalysis, due to its extraordinary properties. In order to fully characterize the structure of MOFs, especially those without single crystal, Solid State NMR (SSNMR) is an indispensable tool. As a complimentary analytical technique to X-ray diffraction, SSNMR could provide detailed atomic level structure information. Meanwhile, SSNMR can characterize molecular dynamics over a wide dynamics range. In this review, selected applications of SSNMR on various MOFs are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Multinuclear solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, first-principles molecular dynamics simulations, and other complementary evidence reveal that the coordination environment around the Zn(2+) ions in MOF-5, one of the most iconic materials among metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is not rigid. The Zn(2+) ions bind solvent molecules, thereby increasing their coordination number, and dynamically dissociate from the framework itself. On average, one ion in each cluster has at least one coordinated N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) molecule, such that the formula of as-synthesized MOF-5 is defined as Zn4O(BDC)3(DMF) x (x = 1-2). Understanding the dynamic behavior of MOF-5 leads to a rational low-temperature cation exchange approach for the synthesis of metastable Zn4-x Co x O(terephthalate)3 (x > 1) materials, which have not been accessible through typical high-temperature solvothermal routes thus far.

Abstract
Microporous materials, having pores and channels on the same size scale as small to medium molecules, have found many important applications in current technologies, including catalysis, gas separation and drug storage and delivery. Many of their properties and functions are related to their detailed local structure, such as the type and distribution of active sites within the pores, and the specific structures of these active sites. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy has a strong track record of providing the requisite detailed atomic-level insight into the structures of microporous materials, in addition to being able to probe dynamic processes occurring on timescales spanning many orders of magnitude (i.e., from s to ps). In this Perspective, we provide a brief review of some of the basic experimental approaches used in solid-state NMR spectroscopy of microporous materials, and then discuss some more recent advances in this field, particularly those applied to the study of crystalline materials such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks. These advances include improved software for aiding spectral interpretation, the development of the NMR-crystallography approach to structure determination, new routes for the synthesis of isotopically-labelled materials, methods for the characterisation of host-guest interactions, and methodologies suitable for observing NMR spectra of paramagnetic microporous materials. Finally, we discuss possible future directions, which we believe will have the greatest impact on the field over the coming years.

Abstract
Industrial separation processes comprise approximately 10% of the global energy demand, driven largely by the utilization of thermal separation methods (e.g., distillation). Significant energy and cost savings can be realized using advanced separation techniques such as membranes and sorbents. One of the major barriers to acceptance of these techniques remains creating materials that are efficient and productive in the presence of aggressive industrial feeds. One promising class of emerging materials is zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), an important thermally and chemically stable subclass of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). The objectives of this paper are (i) to provide a current understanding of the synthetic methods that enable the immense tunability of ZIFs, (ii) to identify areas of success and areas for improvement when ZIFs are used as adsorbents, (iii) to identify areas of success and areas for improvement in ZIF membranes. A review is given of the state-of-the-art in ZIF synthesis procedures and novel ZIF formation pathways as well as their application in energy efficient separations.

Abstract
As a subset of the metal-organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have potential use in practical separations as a result of flexible yet reliable control over their pore sizes along with their chemical and thermal stabilities. Among many ZIF materials, we explored the effect of thermal treatments on the ZIF-7 structure, known for its promising characteristics toward H2 separations; the pore sizes of ZIF-7 (0.29 nm) are desirable for molecular sieving, favoring H2 (0.289 nm) over CO2 (0.33 nm). Although thermogravimetric analysis indicated that ZIF-7 is thermally stabile up to ~400 °C, the structural transition of ZIF-7 to an intermediate phase (as indicated by X-ray analysis) was observed under air as guest molecules were removed. The transition was further continued at higher temperatures, eventually leading toward the zinc oxide phase. Three types of ZIF-7 with differing shapes and sizes (~100 nm spherical, ~400 nm rhombic-dodecahedral, and ~1300 nm rod-shaped) were employed to elucidate (1) thermal structural transitions while considering kinetically relevant processes and (2) discrepancies in the N2 physisorption and CO2 adsorption isotherms. The largest rod-shaped ZIF-7 particles showed a delayed thermal structural transition toward the stable zinc oxide phase. The CO2 adsorption behaviors of the three ZIF-7s, despite their identical crystal structures, suggested minute differences in the pore structures; in particular, the smaller spherical ZIF-7 particles provided reversible CO2 adsorption isotherms at ~30-75 °C, a typical temperature range of flue gases from coal-fired power plants, in contrast to the larger rhombic-dodecahedral and rod-shaped ZIF-7 particles, which exhibited hysteretic CO2 adsorption/desorption behavior.

Abstract
In this contribution, the latest developments in solid state NMR are presented in the field of organic-inorganic (O/I) materials (or hybrid materials). Such materials involve mineral and organic (including polymeric and biological) components, and can exhibit complex O/I interfaces. Hybrids are currently a major topic of research in nanoscience, and solid state NMR is obviously a pertinent spectroscopic tool of investigation. Its versatility allows the detailed description of the structure and texture of such complex materials. The article is divided in two main parts: in the first one, recent NMR methodological/instrumental developments are presented in connection with hybrid materials. In the second part, an exhaustive overview of the major classes of O/I materials and their NMR characterization is presented.

Abstract
Although solid-state NMR (SSNMR) provides rich information about molecular structure and dynamics, the small spin population differences between pairs of spin states that give rise to NMR transitions make it an inherently insensitive spectroscopic technique in terms of signal acquisition. Scientists have continuously addressed this issue via improvements in NMR hardware and probes, increases in the strength of the magnetic field, and the development of innovative pulse sequences and acquisition methodologies. As a result, researchers can now study NMR-active nuclides previously thought to be unobservable or too unreceptive for routine examination via SSNMR. Several factors can make it extremely challenging to detect signal or acquire spectra using SSNMR: (i) low gyromagnetic ratios (i.e., low Larmor frequencies), (ii) low natural abundances or dilution of the nuclide of interest (e.g., metal nuclides in proteins or in organometallic catalysts supported on silica), (iii) inconvenient relaxation characteristics (e.g., very long longitudinal or very short transverse relaxation times), and/or (iv) extremely broad powder patterns arising from large anisotropic NMR interactions. Our research group has been particularly interested in efficient acquisition of broad NMR powder patterns for a variety of spin-1/2 and quadrupolar (spin > 1/2) nuclides. Traditionally, researchers have used the term "wideline" NMR to refer to experiments yielding broad (1)H and (2)H SSNMR spectra ranging from tens of kHz to ∼250 kHz in breadth. With modern FT NMR hardware, uniform excitation in these spectral ranges is relatively easy, allowing for the acquisition of high quality spectra. However, spectra that range in breadth from ca. 250 kHz to tens of MHz cannot be uniformly excited with conventional, high-power rectangular pulses. Rather, researchers must apply special methodologies to acquire such spectra, which have inherently low S/N because the signal intensity is spread across such large spectral breadths. We have suggested the term ultra-wideline NMR (UWNMR) spectroscopy to describe this set of methodologies. This Account describes recent developments in pulse sequences and strategies for the efficient acquisition of UWNMR spectra. After an introduction to anisotropically broadened NMR patterns, we give a brief history of methods used to acquire UWNMR spectra. We then discuss new acquisition methodologies, including the acquisition of CPMG echo trains and the application of pulses capable of broadband excitation and refocusing. Finally, we present several applications of UWNMR methods that use these broadband pulses.

Abstract
In a spin: Directly differentiating multiple Mg sites in Mg-containing MOFs by (25)Mg solid-state NMR spectroscopy is very challenging at natural abundance. By performing (25)Mg two-dimensional triple-quantum magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR experiments at a magnetic field of 21.1 T at natural abundance, four non-equivalent Mg sites with very similar local environments in α-Mg(3)(HCOO)(6) were unambiguously resolved (see figure).

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have excellent adsorption capability. To understand their adsorptive properties requires detailed information on the host-guest interaction. The information on MOF desolvation (or activation) is also crucial because the very first step of many applications requires removal of the solvent molecules occluded inside of the pores. Unfortunately, such information is not always available from powder XRD data. Solid-state NMR is an excellent complementary technique to XRD. CPO-27-Mg is a MOF with unusual adsorption ability. The adsorption involves a direct interaction between Mg and guest species. Herein, we present, for the first time, a natural abundance (25)Mg solid-state NMR study of CPO-27-Mg at an ultrahigh magnetic field of 21.1 T. The results provide new physical insights into the effects of dehydration/rehydration and adsorption of guest species on the Mg local environment.

Abstract
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a well-established method for the investigation of various types of porous materials. During the past decade, metal–organic frameworks have attracted increasing research interest. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy has rapidly evolved into an important tool for the study of the structure, dynamics and flexibility of these materials, as well as for the characterization of host–guest interactions with adsorbed species such as xenon, carbon dioxide, water, and many others. The present review introduces and highlights recent developments in this rapidly growing field.
