Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a rising tool to synthesize metal-organic framework (MOF) films. Despite growing interest and usage, its mechanism is less known. Especially, the identification of intermediates is crucial for understanding the growth mechanism and further controlling their structures. In this paper, we investigated the growth mechanism of 2D MOF Cu(CO) film by CVD. We identified a novel intermediate phase: an octahedral coordination polymer that transforms into an edge-on-oriented 2D MOF. In situ grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray absorption near-edge structure, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy studies confirmed that this transformation involves the removal of pillars, leading to the formation of a square-planar 2D MOF. With the identification of intermediates, our study deepens the understanding of MOF film formation by CVD, which lays a foundation to control the structure.

Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process that consists of four interconnected phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This complex process is based on the coordinated actions of growth factors, cytokines, and other cellular interactions. However, conditions such as diabetes and chronic illnesses can disrupt this process and lead to nonhealing wounds or chronic ulcers.

The unit cell of the title compound, [Ni(CHNO)]·2CHOH, consists of a neutral complex and two methanol mol-ecules. In the complex, the two tridentate 2-[3-(benzo[][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-1-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl]-6-(1-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine ligands coordinate to the central Ni ion through nitro-gen atoms of the pyrazole, pyridine and triazole groups, forming a pseudo-octa-hedral coordination sphere. Neighbouring mol-ecules are linked through weak C-H(pz)⋯π(ph) inter-actions into monoperiodic chains, which are further linked through weak C-H⋯H/N/C inter-actions into diperiodic layers.

Herein, it is reported the synthesis of a niobium-based metal-organic framework (MOF), [Nb-(Bez-(COO))] , for the extraction of caffeine from surface waters. The material was synthesized and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, which confirmed the coordination between the ligand (1,4-benzenodicarboxylic, (Bez-(COO))) and niobium (Nb) with a morphology composed of hexagonal rods, high crystallinity, and a surface area of 94.7 m g.
