Smart Approach for In Situ One-Step Encapsulation and Controlled Delivery of a Chemotherapeutic Drug using Metal-Organic Framework-Drug Composites in Aqueous Media
A general and effective one-step strategy is developed to encapsulate tiny metal nanoparticles in various kinds of MOFs without any additional protecting agents and reducing agents.
A highly luminescent MOF containing tetraphenylethene-based cations has been prepared through in situ encapsulation, which can serve as a fluorescent sensor for selective and sensitive detection of nitrofuran antibiotics in aqueous media.
In situ near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy directly probes unoccupied states associated with backbonding interactions between the open metal site in a metal–organic framework and various small molecule guests.
