Developing efficient, low-cost, MOF catalysts for CO conversion at low CO concentrations under mild conditions is particularly interesting but remains highly challenging. Herein, we prepared an isostructural series of two-dimensional (2D) multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs) containing copper- and/or silver-based cyclic trinuclear complexes (Cu-CTC and Ag-CTC). These MTV-MOFs can be used as efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalysts for the cyclization of propargylamine with CO. The catalytic performance of these MTV-MOFs can be engineered by fine-tuning the Ag/Cu ratio in the framework. Interestingly, the induction of 10% Ag remarkably improved the catalytic efficiency with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 243 h, which is 20-fold higher than that of 100% Cu-based MOF (i.e., TOF = 10.8 h). More impressively, such a bimetallic MOF still exhibited high catalytic activity even for simulated flue gas with 10% CO concentration. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism has been examined through the employment of NMR monitoring experiments and DFT calculations.

Electrochromic materials exploit a change in molecular absorbance after an electrochemical redox event for applications, such as smart glass and segmented displays. Current applications use metal oxides; however, these materials are plagued by slow response times to potential changes. Herein, we investigate a metal-organic framework (MOF) film loaded with a molecular ruthenium redox carrier for its electrochromic capabilities.

Enrofloxacin (ENR), a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is widely used in both human and veterinary medicine. However, residual ENR in food and water can pose significant health risks. In this study, a novel bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67@ZIF-8) a type of metal-organic framework (MOF), was synthesized at room temperature, and employed as an effective sorbent in a dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (Dμ-SPE) procedure for the rapid and sensitive detection of ENR.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous, crystalline materials known for their structural versatility and high thermal stability, making them promising candidates for light-emitting diode applications. Distinct classes of MOFs, such as multivariate (MTV)-MOFs and MOF-on-MOFs, introduce heterogeneity by incorporating multiple ligands within a single unit cell (MTV-MOFs) or by stacking different MOFs on top of each other (MOF-on-MOF). Although these strategies improve their properties, the mechanisms of energy transfer between their heterogeneous components and their effects on optical properties, such as quantum yields, remain poorly understood.

In the present work, we report the hydrothermal synthesis and detailed characterization of a series of ultramicroporous, luminescent, multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the general formula [Al(OH)(IATP)(NH-BDC)], constructed from two different dicarboxylate ligands, HIATP = 2-(((1-imidazol-4-yl)methyl)amino) terephthalic acid and NH-HBDC = 2-aminoterephthalic acid. Structural analysis, using both powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED), confirms that the reported MTV-Al-MOFs are topological analogues of the related NH2-MIL-53(Al) MOF. Introducing ultramicroporosity (∼5.

A series of sulfate-pillared metal azolate frameworks (MAFs) were synthesized via a multivariate (MTV) strategy to systematically tune framework flexibility and gas separation performance. The monotonic sulfate-pillared MAF, Zn(daTz)SO (where daTz = 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazolate), exhibits pronounced structural dynamics upon adaptive guest inclusions, driven by triazolate linker rotation and reversible Zn─O bonds rearrangement, enabling dynamic pore modulation for efficient CO, CH, and CH uptakes. Incorporation of an asymmetric, non-amino linker effectively suppresses framework flexibility by reducing intraframework hydrogen bonding, resulting in a locked structure with enhanced selectivity for CO over light hydrocarbons.
