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 metal-organic framework (MOF) Hf-DUT-52 was prepared with diamino functionality by the solvothermal method. This material displayed fluorometric sensing ability toward a nerve agent simulant (diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP)) and 3-diethylaminophenol (3-DEAP). It is the first-ever reported fluorescent MOF sensor for DCP and 3-DEAP. Apart from a fast response (<5 s), the sensor had a very low detection limit for both DCP and DEAP (limit of detection (LOD) values for DCP and 3-DEAP sensing were 9 and 125 nM, respectively). The obtained detection limit is the second lowest among all of the reported optical sensors for DCP. The sensor also displayed its capability to identify the presence of trace amount of DCP in various natural water specimens with good selectivity. Moreover, MOF@cotton composites were developed for visual, on-site, nanomolar-level detection of both targeted analytes. Furthermore, a MOF@PVA thin film was fabricated and successfully utilized for the detection of highly volatile and deadly poisonous DCP in the vapor phase. The sensor was also recyclable for up to five cycles without losing appreciable efficiency. Density functional theory (DFT)-based periodic and cluster calculations were performed to shed light on the sensing ability of the MOF by studying the interactions of DCP and DEAP with the MOF. Our theoretical results reveal the importance of linker defects and water chemisorption on the adsorption/complexation of the analytes at uncoordinated Hf sites.

Abstract
Abstract
Solvothermal reaction of Bi(NO3)3·5H2O with the flexible ligand 1,3,5-tris[4-(carboxyphenyl)oxamethyl]-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (H3TBTC) in methanol at 120 °C for 1 h led to the formation of a novel coordination polymer (CP) with the composition of Bi(TBTC). The structure of the microcrystalline material was determined through three-dimensional electron diffraction (3DED) measurements and phase purity was confirmed by a Pawley refinement, elemental analysis, and thermal analysis. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group

with one Bi3+ cation and one TBTC3− trianion in the asymmetric unit. Edge-sharing of BiO7 polyhedra leads to the formation of dinuclear Bi2O12 units, which through coordination to six TBTC3− ions form a layered two-periodic structure. Upon heating the material in air, the unit cell volume contracts by 9%, which is attributed to a shift in the inter-layer arrangement and to the flexibility of the building units of the structure. The compound starts to decompose at ∼300 °C. Topological analysis revealed layers consisting of 3-c and 6-c nodes, consistent with the two-periodic kgd net – the dual of the Kagome net (kgm). However, due to the non-planar nature of the Bi(TBTC) layers, adjacent layers are interlaced by polycatenation.
