Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis stands out as a highly effective method for harnessing sunlight to produce clean and renewable energy. The light-absorbing properties, chemical stability, and high redox activity of Ce-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) make them attractive materials for visible-light-driven water splitting. Currently, Ce-based MOFs remain a relatively underexplored system for photocatalytic water oxidation in acidic media. In this study, we synthesized a Ce-MOF with different linkers (1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, tetrafluoroterephthalic acid, 2-nitroterephthalic acid, 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid, and 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid), which exhibit light-absorbing capability. Ce-based MOFs doped with [Ru(bpy)(dcbpy)(H2O)2]2+ (MOF-1 and MOF-2) water oxidation catalyst showed an enhanced photoelectrocatalytic current of ∼10-4 A·cm-2 at pH = 1, which is comparable with the [Ru(bpy)(dcbpy)(H2O)2]2+-doped MIL-126 Fe-based MOF. We also demonstrated the long-term durability of Ru-doped Ce-MOFs for photoelectrocatalytic water oxidation under acidic conditions. The as-synthesized MOFs were analyzed with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electric conductivity measurements. This study contributes to the development of cost-effective materials for sustainable photocatalytic water splitting processes.

Abstract
Cerium-based Metal-Organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs) are attracting increasing interest due to their similar structural features to zirconium MOFs. The redox behavior of Ce(III/IV) adds a range of properties to the compounds. Recently, perfluorinated linkers have been used in the synthesis of MOFs to introduce new characteristic into the structure. We report the synthesis and structural characterization of Ce(IV)-based MOFs constructed using two perfluorinated alkyl linkers. Their structure, based on hexanuclear Ce6O4(OH)4 12+ clusters linked to each other by the dicarboxylate ions, has been solved ab-initio from X-ray powder diffraction data and refined by the Rietveld method. The crystallization kinetics and the MOF formation mechanism was also invesitigated by Synchrotron radiation with XAS spectroscopies (EXAFS and XANES). The MOFs present the same fcu cubic topology as observed in MOF-801 and UiO-66, and they showed good stability in water at different pH conditions. The electronic structure of these MOFs has been studied by DFT calculations in order to obtain insights into the density of states structure of the reported compounds, resulting in band gaps in the range of 2.8-3.1 eV. Their catalytic properties were tested both thermally and under visible light irradiation for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye.

Abstract
We report the discovery and characterization of two porous Ce(III)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the V-shaped linker molecules 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoate (SDB2-) and 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoate) (hfipbb2-). The compounds of framework composition [Ce2(H2O)(SDB)3] (1) and [Ce2(hfipbb)3] (2) were obtained by using a synthetic approach in acetonitrile that we recently established. Structure determination of 1 was accomplished from 3D electron diffraction (3D ED) data, while 2 could be refined against powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data using the crystal structure of an isostructural La-MOF as the starting model. Their framework structures consist of chain-like inorganic building units (IBUs) or hybrid-BUs that are interconnected by the V-shaped linker molecules to form framework structures with channel-type pores. The composition of both compounds was confirmed by PXRD, elemental analysis, as well as NMR and IR spectroscopy. Interestingly, despite the use of (NH4)2[CeIV(NO3)6] in the synthesis, cerium ions in both MOFs occur exclusively in the + III oxidation state as determined by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Thermal analyses reveal remarkably high thermal stabilities of ≥400 °C for the MOFs. Initial N2 sorption measurements revealed the peculiar sorption behavior of 2 which prompted a deeper investigation by Ar and CO2 sorption experiments. The combination with nonlocal density functional theory (NL-DFT) calculations adds to the understanding of the nature of the different pore diameters in 2. An extensive quasi-simultaneous in situ XANES/XRD investigation was carried out to unveil the formation of Ce-MOFs during the solvothermal syntheses in acetonitrile. The crystallization of the two Ce(III)-MOFs presented herein as well as two previously reported Ce(IV)-MOFs, all obtained by a similar synthetic approach, were studied. While the XRD patterns show time-dependent MOF crystallization, the XANES data reveal the presence of Ce(III) intermediates and their subsequent conversion to the MOFs. The addition of acetic acid in combination with the V-shaped linker molecule was identified as the crucial factor for the formation of the crystalline Ce(III/IV)-MOFs.

Abstract
The novel metal-organic framework [(CH3)2NH2]2[Ce2(bdc)4(DMF)2]·2H2O (Ce-MOF, H2bdc-terephthalic acid, DMF-N,N-dimethylformamide) was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method. Ce-MOF has 3D connectivity of bcu type with a dinuclear fragment connected with eight neighbors, while three types of guest species are residing in its pores: water, DMF, and dimethylammonium cations. Dimethylamine was demonstrated to have a decisive templating effect on the formation of Ce-MOF, as its deliberate addition to the solvothermal reaction allows the reproducible synthesis of the new framework. Otherwise, the previously reported MOF Ce5(bdc)7.5(DMF)4 (Ce5) or its composite with nano-CeO2 (CeO2@Ce5) was obtained. Various Ce carboxylate precursors and synthetic conditions were explored to evidence the major stability of Ce-MOF and Ce5 within the Ce carboxylate-H2bdc-DMF system. The choice of precursor impacts the surface area of Ce-MOF and thus its reactivity in an oxidative atmosphere. The in situ PXRD and TG-DTA-MS study of Ce-MOF in a nonoxidative atmosphere demonstrates that it eliminates H2O and DMF along with (CH3)2NH guest species in two distinct stages at 70 and 250 °C, respectively, yielding [Ce2(bdc)3(H2bdc)]. The H2bdc molecule is removed at 350 °C with the formation of novel modification of Ce2(bdc)3, which is stable at least up to 450 °C. According to the total X-ray scattering study with pair distribution function analysis, the most pronounced local structure transformation occurs upon departure of DMF and (CH3)2NH guest species, which is in line with the in situ PXRD experiment. In an oxidative atmosphere, Ce-MOF undergoes combustion to CeO2 at a temperature as low as 390 °C. MOF-derived CeO2 from Ce-MOF, Ce5, and CeO2@Ce5 exhibits catalytic activity in the CO oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Green synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in aqueous solutions under ambient conditions with reduced production costs and environmental effects is an efficient technique to transfer lab-scale production to industrial large scale. Hence, this work proposes a green, low-cost, sustainable, rapid, and innovative synthetic strategy to produce cerium-based (Ce-UiO-66) MOFs under ambient conditions in the presence of water as a green solvent. This synthetic strategy exhibits great potential compared to conventional solvothermal synthetic techniques, and it does not need external activation energy and organic solvents, which can achieve the standards of green chemistry. Ce-UiO-66 MOF was synthesized successfully and utilized as a green adsorbent to efficiently eliminate anionic Congo Red (CR) dye from dye-containing wastewater. The experimental adsorption results were well matched to the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, in which the maximum CR adsorption capacity was measured to be about 285.71 mg/g. To evidence the applicability of Ce-UiO-66 MOFs in CR adsorption, the CR adsorption reaction was performed in the presence of interfering pollutants [e.g., salts (NaCl, KCl, and MgCl2) and cationic organic dyes (Malachite Green (MG) and Methylene Blue (MB)], where the results prove the promising adsorption performances of Ce-UiO-66 MOFs toward CR dye. Interestingly, the synthesized adsorbent exhibited high structural stability during repeated adsorption-desorption cycles, where the surface area of MOFs decreased from 555 to 376 m2/g after three cycles, while its CR adsorption capacity decreased by only 10% compared to that of the fresh adsorbent. All these outstanding properties indicate that the Ce-UiO-66 MOFs will be an effective adsorbent for water and wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Photocatalytic organic reactions, harvesting solar energy to produce high value-added organic chemicals, have attracted increasing attention as a sustainable approach to address the global energy crisis and environmental issues. Reticular framework materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), are widely considered as promising candidates for photocatalysis owing to their high crystallinity, tailorable pore environment and extensive structural diversity. Although the design and synthesis of MOFs and COFs have been intensively developed in the last 20 years, their applications in photocatalytic organic transformations are still in the preliminary stage, making their systematic summary necessary. Thus, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding and useful guidelines for the exploration of suitable MOF and COF photocatalysts towards appropriate photocatalytic organic reactions. The commonly used reactions are categorized to facilitate the identification of suitable reaction types. From a practical viewpoint, the fundamentals of experimental design, including active species, performance evaluation and external reaction conditions, are discussed in detail for easy experimentation. Furthermore, the latest advances in photocatalytic organic reactions of MOFs and COFs, including their composites, are comprehensively summarized according to the actual active sites, together with the discussion of their structure-property relationship. We believe that this study will be helpful for researchers to design novel reticular framework photocatalysts for various organic synthetic applications.

Abstract
An unprecedented synthesis method is used to form a series of Ce-UiO-66-X (X = NH2, OH, H, NO2, COOH) metal-organic frameworks by precipitation from mixed solvents, with instantaneous crystallisation on combining separate solutions of ligands and metal precursors. This allows the first direct synthesis of Ce-UiO-66-OH. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) shows that all materials are pure phase with a broadened profile that indicates nano-scale crystallite domain size. The effect of different functional groups on the benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate linker within the UiO-66 structure has been investigated on degradation of two cationic (methylene blue and rhodamine B) and two anionic (Congo red, and Alizarin red S) dyes under UV and visible light irradiation at room temperature. Analysis of the dye adsorption in the absence of light is accounted for using pseudo-first order kinetics, and the Ce-UiO-66-NH2, Ce-UiO-66-OH, and Ce-UiO-66-H materials display a considerable photocatalytic activity to degrade Alizarin red S and Congo red rapidly between 1 and 3 minutes. The materials show excellent photostability and recyclability under UV and visible light, with no loss of crystallinity seen by PXRD and activity maintained over 5 cycles, with 16 hours photostability for Ce-UiO-66-NH2.

Abstract
Photocatalysis, as an amenable and effective process, can be adopted for pollution remediation and to alleviate the ongoing energy crisis. In this case, recently, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted increasing attention in the field of photocatalysis owning to their unique characteristics including large specific surface area, tuneable pore architecture, mouldable framework composition, tuneable band structure, and exceptional photon absorption tendency complimented with superior anti-recombination of excitons. Among the plethora of frameworks, inner transition metal based-MOFs (IT-MOFs) have started to garner significant traction as photocatalysts due to their distinct characteristics compared to conventional transition metal-based frameworks. Typically, IT-MOFs have the tendency to generate high nuclearity clusters and possess abundant Lewis acidic sites, together with mixed valency, which aids in easily converting redox couples, thereby making them a suitable candidate for various photocatalytic reactions. Therefore, in this contribution, we aim to summarise the excellent photocatalytic performance of IT-MOFs and their composites accompanied by a thorough discussion of their topological changes with a variation in the structure of the metal cluster, fabrication routes, morphological features, and physico-chemical properties together with a brief discussion of computational findings. Moreover, we attempt to explore the scientific understanding of the functionalities of IT-MOFs and their composites with detailed mechanistic pathways for in-depth clarity towards photocatalysis. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive analysis of IT-MOFs for various crucial photocatalytic applications such as H2/O2 evolution, organic pollutant degradation, organic transformation, and N2 and CO2 reduction. In addition, we discuss the measures employed to enhance their performance with some future directions to address the challenges with IT-MOF-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Multi-module design of framework materials with multiple distinct building blocks has attracted much attention because such materials are more amenable to compositional and geometrical tuning and thus offer more opportunities for property optimization. Few examples are known that use environmentally friendly and cost-effective solvent-free method to synthesize such materials. Here, we report the use of solvent-free method (also modulator-free) to synthesize a series of multi-module MOFs with high stability and separation property for C2 H2 /CO2 . The synthesis only requires simple mixing of reactants and short reaction time (2 h). Highly porous and stable materials can be made without any post-synthetic activation. The success of solvent-free synthesis of multi-module MOFs reflects the synergy between different modules, resulting in stable pore-partitioned materials, despite the fact that other competitive crystallization pathways with simpler framework compositions also exist.

Abstract
Photocatalytic oxidation technique is considered as one of the most prospective approaches to solve the problem of environmental pollution. Herein, the novel ternary nanocomposite UiO-66(Ce)/Ag/BiOBr was fabricated via simple synthetic strategy. The obtained UiO-66(Ce)/Ag/BiOBr exhibited an excellent performance and photocatalytic efficiency of ketoprofen reached 93.5% after 180 min illumination. The ·OH and ·O2- were main active species and play an important role during the photocatalytic reaction. Furthermore, intermediate products and degradation pathways of ketoprofen were analyzed based on the 3D-EEM, DFT calculation and LC-MS. The possible reaction mechanism was proposed as follows: (1) the successful construction of heterojunction broadened the light absorption range to the visible light region; (2) the design of Ce-based MOFs provided more chances for electron transfer due to the Ce4+/Ce3+ cycling; (3) the combination of plasmon resonance effect, Schottky junction and effect of Ag bridge was an important strategy to accelerate charge transfer and improve photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract
The ability of organic ligands to change the structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in nature and influence their adsorption efficiency for arsenic species is enormous. The current work was designed to investigate the adsorption performance of cerium-based MOFs with tunable structures through the use of organic ligands (Ce-MOF-66 and Ce-MOF-808) towards arsenic species from water. The structural features of Ce-MOF-66 and Ce-MOF-808 with varying crystallinity, morphology, particle size, and surface area are considerably altered by organic ligands tuning, resulting in clearly distinct arsenate (As (V)) and arsenite (As (III)) adsorption capabilities. The experimental results showed that the Langmuir adsorption capacities of As (V) by Ce-MOF-66 and Ce-MOF-808 reached 355.67 and 217.80 mg/g, respectively, while for As (III) were 5.52 and 402.10 mg/g for Ce-MOF-66 and Ce-MOF-808, respectively. Except for the impact of PO43- on As (V), co-existing ions had no significant influence on adsorption, illustrating the high selectivity. Furthermore, to understand the structure and adsorption mechanism, two adsorbents were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, specific surface area, Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in which identified that unsaturated sites and ligand exchange were the main adsorption mechanisms of As (V) and As (III). Overall, this research presents a novel approach for developing high-performance Ce-derived MOFs adsorbents to capture arsenic species.

Abstract
Piezocatalysis, the process of directly converting mechanical energy into chemical energy, has emerged as a promising alternative strategy for green H2 production. Nevertheless, conventional inorganic piezoelectric materials suffer from limited structural tailorability and small surface area, which greatly impedes their mechanically driven catalytic efficiency. Herein, we design and fabricate a novel UiO-66(Zr)-F4 metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet for piezocatalytic water splitting, with the highest H2 evolution rate reaching 178.5 μmol g-1 within 5 h under ultrasonic vibration excitation (110 W, 40 kHz), far exceeding that of the original UiO-66 host. A reduced bandgap from 2.78 to 2.43 eV is achieved after introducing a fluorinated ligand. Piezoresponse force microscopy measurements demonstrate a much stronger piezoelectric response for UiO-66(Zr)-F4, which may result from the polarity of the introduced fluorinated ligand. This work highlights the potential of MOF-based porous piezoelectric nanomaterials in harvesting mechanical energy to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a new type of porous material, have shown many possible applications in gas storage and separation, biomedicine, catalysis, and so on. While most MOFs are synthesized through solvothermal synthesis where a large quantity of organic solvent is used, the green synthetic approach using a minimized amount of solvent is important to prevent irreversible environmental compacts. In this study, we successfully synthesized Zr-MOFs with SBUs (e.g., UiO-66 and MIL-140A) using a simple metal source and investigated the role of organic modulators in modulating the MOF structures during solid-state synthesis. Meanwhile, UiO-66 rich in defects synthesized via a solid-state conversion strategy shows good catalytic performance for the ring-opening of epoxides with alcohols. This work contributes to the understanding of the role of organic modulators in the solid-state synthesis of MOFs.

Abstract
Despite the fact that bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could afford multiple functionalities by a synergistic effect of individual metallic centers, their intrinsic microporous structure frequently restricts their wide applications with bulky molecules involved. An urgent need is consequently triggered to design bimetallic hierarchical mesoporous MOFs (mesoMOFs). Herein, Zr/Ce mesoMOFs with a uniform pore size of up to 8 nm was successfully synthesized by a copolymer template strategy with the aid of a Hoffmeister ion. The obtained Zr/Ce mesoMOFs feature high porosity, good chemical and thermal stabilities, and tunable element components, and up to 70% Zr could be incorporated into the mesoporous Ce-based framework without deteriorating its crystallinity. Thanks to the synergistic effect of inherent Ce and Zr as well as the large and open pore channels, a broad range of phosphopeptides with different molecule sizes could be effectively checked out, thanks to their simultaneous enrichment and dephosphorylation capabilities. Such an ability to efficiently concentrate phosphopeptides remained intact even in the presence of abundant non-phosphorylated species. The practical detection of phosphopeptides from human serum was also verified, prefiguring the great potentials of bimetallic large-pore mesoMOFs for the proteome applications.

Abstract
The synthesis of three coordination polymers of cerium(III) and the ligand pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylate (PTC) is reported. Two of the materials crystallise under hydrothermal conditions at 180 °C, with [Ce(PTC)(H2O)2]·1.5H2O, (1), being formed on extended periods of reaction time, 3 days or longer, and Ce(PTC)(H2O)3, (2), crystallising after 1 day. Both phases contain Ce(III) but are prepared using the Ce(IV) salt Ce(SO4)2·4H2O as reagent. Under solvothermal conditions (mixed water-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)), the phase [Ce(PTC)(H2O)(DMF)]·H2O (3) is crystallised. The structures of the three materials are resolved by single crystal X-ray diffraction, with the phase purity of the samples determined by powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. (1) is constructed from helical chains cross-linked by the PTC linkers to give a three-dimensional structure that contains clusters of water molecules in channels that are hydrogen-bonded to each other and to additional waters that are coordinated to cerium. (2) also contains nine-coordinate cerium but these are linked to give a dense framework, in which water is directly coordinated to cerium. (3) contains corner-shared nine-coordinate cerium centres, linked to give a framework in which Ce-coordinated DMF fills space. Upon heating the material (1) in air all water is irreversibly lost to give a poorly crystalline anhydrous phase Ce(PTC), as deduced from X-ray thermodiffractometry and thermogravimetric analysis. The material (1), however, is hydrothermally stable, and is also stable under oxidising conditions, where immersion in 30% H2O2 gives no loss in crystallinity. Oxidation of around 50% of surface Ce to the +4 oxidation state is thus possible, as evidenced by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which is accompanied by a colour change from yellow to orange. Photocatalytic activity of (1) is screened and the material shows effective degradation of methyl orange.

Abstract
We report a novel synthetic procedure for the high-yield synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with fcu topology with a UiO-66-like structure starting from a range of commercial ZrIV precursors and various substituted dicarboxylic linkers. The syntheses are carried out by grinding in a ball mill the starting reagents, namely, Zr salts and the dicarboxylic linkers, in the presence of a small amount of acetic acid and water (1 mL total volume for 1 mmol of each reagent), followed by incubation at either room temperature or 120 °C. Such a simple "shake 'n bake" procedure, inspired by the solid-state reaction of inorganic materials, such as oxides, avoids the use of large amounts of solvents generally used for the syntheses of Zr-MOF. Acidity of the linkers and the amount of water are found to be crucial factors in affording materials of quality comparable to that of products obtained under solvo- or hydrothermal conditions.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the use of cerium (Ce)-UiO-66 metal organic framework (MOF) for the removal of a variety of potentially toxic pollutants. The Ce-UiO-66 MOF, with similar framework topologies to Zr-UiO-66, has not been explored for its adsorptive properties in water remediation. The replacement of Zr metal center with Ce yields a MOF that can be synthesized in shorter durations with lesser energy consumptions and with excellent multipollutant adsorption properties. Further, the Ce-UiO-66 MOF was also studied for its adsorption abilities in the binary component system. Interestingly, the adsorbent showed higher adsorption capacities in the presence of other pollutants. Removal studies for other potentially toxic anionic and cationic dyes showed that the Ce-UiO-66 MOF has a wide range of contaminant removal abilities. Investigations of individual adsorption capacities revealed that the Ce-UiO-66 MOF has a maximum adsorption capacity of 793.7 mg/g for congo red (CR), 110 mg/g for methylene blue (MB), 66.1 mg/g for fluoride (F-), 30 mg/g for Cr6+ and 485.4 mg/g for the pharmaceutical waste diclofenac sodium (DCF). To imply the practical applications of the Ce-UiO-66 MOF we have also demonstrated an adaptable filter that could separate all the potentially toxic pollutants.

Abstract
Isolation of CO2 from acetylene (C2 H2 ) via CO2 -selective sorbents is an energy-efficient technology for C2 H2 purification, but a strategic challenge due to their similar physicochemical properties. There is still no specific methodology for constructing sorbents that preferentially trap CO2 over C2 H2 . We report an effective strategy to construct optimal pore chemistry in a CeIV -based ultramicroporous metal-organic framework CeIV -MIL-140-4F, based on charge-transfer effects, for efficient inverse CO2 /C2 H2 separation. The ligand-to-metal cluster charge transfer is facilitated by CeIV with low-lying unoccupied 4f orbitals and electron-withdrawing F atoms functionalized tetrafluoroterephthalate, affording a perfect pore environment to match CO2 . The exceptional CO2 uptake (151.7 cm3 cm-3 ) along with remarkable separation selectivities (above 40) set a new benchmark for inverse CO2 /C2 H2 separation, which is verified via simulated and experimental breakthrough experiments. The unique CO2 recognition mechanism is further unveiled by in situ powder X-ray diffraction experiments, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy measurements, and molecular calculations.

Abstract
Catalysts for photochemical reactions underlie many foundations in our lives, from natural light harvesting to modern energy storage and conversion, including processes such as water photolysis by TiO2. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted large interest within the chemical research community, as their structural variety and tunability yield advantages in designing photocatalysts to address energy and environmental challenges. Here, we report a series of novel multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs), denoted as MTV-MIL-100. They are constructed by linking aromatic carboxylates and AB2OX3 bimetallic clusters, which have ordered atomic arrangements. Synthesized through a solvent-assisted approach, these ordered and multivariate metal clusters offer an opportunity to enhance and fine-tune the electronic structures of the crystalline materials. Moreover, mass transport is improved by taking advantage of the high porosity of the MOF structure. Combining these key advantages, MTV-MIL-100(Ti,Co) exhibits a high photoactivity with a turnover frequency of 113.7 molH2 gcat.-1 min-1, a quantum efficiency of 4.25%, and a space time yield of 4.96 × 10-5 in the photocatalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Bridging the fields of perovskites and MOFs, this work provides a novel platform for the design of highly active photocatalysts.

Abstract
We report on the results of an in situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction study of the crystallisation in aqueous medium of two recently discovered perfluorinated CeIV -based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), analogues of the already well investigated ZrIV -based UiO-66 and MIL-140A, namely, F4_UiO-66(Ce) and F4_MIL-140A(Ce). The two MOFs were originally obtained in pure form in similar conditions, using ammonium cerium nitrate and tetrafluoroterephthalic acid as reagents, and small variations of the reaction parameters were found to yield mixed phases. Here, we investigate the crystallisation of these compounds, varying parameters such as temperature, amount of the protonation modulator nitric acid and amount of the coordination modulator acetic acid. When only HNO3 is present in the reaction environment, only F4_MIL-140A(Ce) is obtained. Heating preferentially accelerates nucleation, which becomes rate determining below 57 °C. Upon addition of AcOH to the system, alongside HNO3 , mixed-phased products are obtained. F4_UiO-66(Ce) is always formed faster, and no interconversion between the two phases occurs. In the case of F4_UiO-66(Ce), crystal growth is always the rate-determining step. A higher amount of HNO3 favours the formation of F4_MIL-140A(Ce), whereas increasing the amount of AcOH favours the formation of F4_UiO-66(Ce). Based on the in situ results, a new optimised route to achieving a pure, high-quality F4_MIL-140A(Ce) phase in mild conditions (60 °C, 1 h) is also identified.

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
Owing to their molecular building blocks, yet highly crystalline nature, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) sit at the interface between molecule and material. Their diverse structures and compositions enable them to be useful materials as catalysts in heterogeneous reactions, electrical conductors in energy storage and transfer applications, chromophores in photoenabled chemical transformations, and beyond. In all cases, density functional theory (DFT) and higher-level methods for electronic structure determination provide valuable quantitative information about the electronic properties that underpin the functions of these frameworks. However, there are only two general modeling approaches in conventional electronic structure software packages: those that treat materials as extended, periodic solids, and those that treat materials as discrete molecules. Each approach has features and benefits; both have been widely employed to understand the emergent chemistry that arises from the formation of the metal-organic interface. This Review canvases these approaches to date, with emphasis placed on the application of electronic structure theory to explore reactivity and electron transfer using periodic, molecular, and embedded models. This includes (i) computational chemistry considerations such as how functional, k-grid, and other model variables are selected to enable insights into MOF properties, (ii) extended solid models that treat MOFs as materials rather than molecules, (iii) the mechanics of cluster extraction and subsequent chemistry enabled by these molecular models, (iv) catalytic studies using both solids and clusters thereof, and (v) embedded, mixed-method approaches, which simulate a fraction of the material using one level of theory and the remainder of the material using another dissimilar theoretical implementation.

Abstract
Among the different alternatives for catalysis using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) or covalent organic frameworks (COFs), photocatalysis has remarkably evolved during the last decade. Photocatalytic reticular materials allowed recyclability and easy separation of catalyst from the product, also reaching the activity and selectivity commonly observed for molecular systems. Recently, photocatalytic MOFs and COFs have been applied to synthetic applications in order to obtain organic molecules of different complexity. However, although a good number of works have been devoted to this issue, an updated comprehensive revision on this field is still needed. The aim of this review was to fill this gap covering the following three general aspects: (1) common strategies on the design of reticular photocatalytic materials, (2) a comprehensive discussion of the photocatalytic organic reactions achieved by the use of COFs and MOFs, and (3) some critical considerations highlighting directions that should be considered in order to make advances in the study of photocatalytic COFs and MOFs.

Abstract
A microwave-assisted synthesis method for Ce(iv)-based MOFs crystallizing in the MIL-140 structure has been developed. Three different linker molecules, i.e. terephthalic acid (H2BDC), 2-chloroterephthalic acid (H2BDC-Cl) and 2,6-naphtalenedicarboxylic acid (H2NDC) that have previously been used for the synthesis of Ce-UiO-66 which contains hexanuclear Ce-O clusters as the inorganic building unit (IBU), were employed. Under solvothermal reaction conditions (140 °C) with acetonitrile as the solvent the compounds Ce-MIL-140-BDC, -BDC-Cl and -NDC, with the general composition [CeO(linker)] were obtained as microcrystalline products. For all three MOFs an extended purification process had to be carried out. The MOFs were fully characterized and the structure of Ce-MIL-140-BDC was refined against PXRD data using the Rietveld method. In contrast to Zr-MIL-140-BDC a symmetry reduction to the space group P1[combining macron] is observed. The MIL-140 structure type is built up by infinite CeO7 polyhedra that are interconnected by dicarboxylate ions to generate 1D pores. For Ce-MIL-140-BDC the highest specific surface area of asBET = 222 m2 g-1 is observed and the MOF is thermally stable up to 370 °C. This new synthetic route to Ce(iv)-MOFs avoids the formation of the previously extremely dominant hexanuclear IBU, and paves the way for higher IBU diversity in Ce(iv)-MOFs.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained widespread attention due to their modular construction that allows the tuning of their properties. Within this vast class of compounds, metal carboxylates containing tri- and tetravalent metal ions have been in the focus of many studies due to their often high thermal and chemical stabilities. Cerium has a rich chemistry, which depends strongly on its oxidation state. Ce(iii) exhibits properties typically observed for rare earth elements, while Ce(iv) is mostly known for its oxidation behaviour. In MOF chemistry this is reflected in their unique optical and catalytic properties. The synthetic parameters for Ce(iii)- and Ce(iv)-MOFs also differ substantially and conditions must be chosen to prevent reduction of Ce(iv) for the formation of the latter. Ce(iii)-MOFs are usually reported in comprehensive studies together with those constructed with other RE elements and normally they are isostructural. They exhibit a greater structural diversity, which is reflected in the larger variety of inorganic building units. In contrast, the synthesis conditions of Ce(iv)-MOFs were only recently (2015) established. These lead selectively to hexanuclear Ce-O clusters that are well-known for Zr-MOFs and therefore very similar structural and isoreticluar chemistry is found. Hence Ce(iv)-MOFs exhibit often high porosity, while only a few porous Ce(iii)-MOFs have been described. Some of these show structural flexibility which makes them interesting for separation processes. For Ce(iv)-MOFs the redox properties are most relevant. Thus, they are intensively discussed for catalytic, photocatalytic and sensing applications. In this perspective, the synthesis, structural chemistry and properties of Ce-MOFs are summarized.
