Guest molecules have been absorbed into crystals of a metallocyclic host by sublimation of volatile solids at room temperature. The guest exchanges are accompanied by color changes. Since the crystals remain intact, evidence of guest inclusion could be obtained using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results are also supported by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis).

Fire is a key natural disturbance influencing physical, chemical, and biological processes in the Cerrado. Ash, a fire byproduct, may significantly influence soil macrofauna through its chemical properties. Dung beetles (Scarabaeinae), critical components of Cerrado soil macrofauna, provide key ecological functions and services.

Fermented foods are valued for their diverse flavor and health benefits, but the formation of ethyl carbamate (EC), a potential carcinogen, during production and storage poses challenges. Current EC reduction methods often compromise flavor and bioactive components. This study exemplifies a novel adsorbent combining activated carbon with metal-organic framework (MOF) chemistry for semi-selective EC removal.

Exhaled breath analysis offers noninvasive, early lung cancer detection via volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers, surpassing blood-based methods. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is ideal for this purpose, combining molecular fingerprint specificity with single-molecule sensitivity. However, conventional SERS substrates face a fundamental limitation: while porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks effectively adsorb VOCs through their subnanometer pores (0.

The complex aroma of Baijiu is influenced by the interactions of various flavor compounds. This study employed molecular dynamics simulations and headspace solid-phase microextraction to both simulate and validate the interaction mechanisms between two key aroma compounds in Baijiu: ethyl caprylate and ethyl acetate. The findings indicate that a reduction in electrostatic interactions and van der Waals forces enhances the volatility of these compounds within Baijiu.

Rapid and convenient enrichment and detection of volatile cinnamaldehyde (Cin) from a common herbal medicine, cinnamon, was achieved through a reliable MSPE-HPLC-DAD approach. The magnetic porous carbon material (Carbon-FeC/lignin) used for MSPE was prepared as follows. First, the metal organic framework (MIL-101-NH (Fe)) was synthesized using the solvothermal method.
