This study aims to assess the possibility of improving H2and CH4binding affinity to the aromatic walls of a designed new Metal–Organic Framework (MOF) through simultaneous dispersive interactions. It is suggested here that desirable H2and CH4storage media at low pressures require narrow uniform pores associated with large surface area, a trade-off that is challenging to achieve.

The most important environmental challenge that the world is facing today is the control of the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere, because it causes global warming. Increase in the global temperature results in greenhouse gas emission, interruption of the volcanic activity, and climatic changes. The alarming rise of the CO2 level impels to take some serious action to control these climatic changes. Various techniques are being utilized to capture CO2. However, chemical absorption and adsorption are supposed to be the most suitable techniques for post-combustion CO2 capture, but the main focus is on adsorption. The aim of this study is to provide a brief overview on the CO2 adsorption by a novel class of adsorbents called the metal–organic framework. The metal–organic framework is a porous material having high surface area with high CO2 adsorption capacity. The metal–organic frameworks possess dynamic structure and have large capacity to adsorb CO2 at either low pressure or high pressure due to its cavity size and surface area. Adsorption of CO2 in the metal–organic framework at various pressures depends upon pore volume and heat of adsorption correspondingly. In this review, different synthesis methods of the metal–organic framework such as slow evaporation, solvo thermal, mechanochemical, electrochemical, sonochemical, and microwave-assisted synthesis are briefly described as the structure of the metal–organic frameworks are mostly dependent upon synthesis techniques. In addition to this, different strategies are discussed to increase the CO2 adsorption capacity in the metal organic-framework. [Formula: see text]

<div> <p>Post-synthetic modification (PSM) of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is an important strategy for accessing MOF analogues that cannot be easily synthesized <i>de novo</i>. In this work, the rare-earth (RE) cluster-based MOF, Y-CU-10, with <b>shp</b> topology was modified through transmetallation using a series of RE ions, including: La(III), Nd(III), Eu(III), Tb(III), Er(III), Tm(III), and Yb(III). In all cases, metal-exchange higher than 70 % was observed, with reproducible results. All transmetallated materials were fully characterized and compared to the parent MOF, Y-CU-10, in regards to crystallinity, surface area, and morphology. Additionally, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) measurements were performed to provide further evidence of transmetallation occurring in the nonanuclear cluster nodes of the MOF. </p> </div>

Long-term use of a single fungicide increases the resistance risk and causes adverse effects on natural ecosystems. Controlled release formulations of dual fungicides with different modes of action can afford a new dimension for addressing the current issues. Based on adjustable aperture and superhigh surface area, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal candidates as pesticide release carriers. This study used Al3+ as the metal node and 2-aminoterephthalic acid as the organic chain to prepare aluminum-based metal–organic framework material (NH2-Al-MIL-101) with “cauliflower-like” structure and high surface area of 2359.0 m2/g. Fungicides of azoxystrobin (AZOX) and diniconazole (Dini) were simultaneously encapsulated into NH2-Al-MIL-101 with the loading content of 6.71% and 29.72%, respectively. Dual fungicide delivery system of AZOX@Dini@NH2-Al-MIL-101 demonstrated sustained and pH responsive release profiles. When the maximum cumulative release rate of AZOX and Dini both reached about 90%, the release time was 46 and 136 h, respectively. Furthermore, EC50 values as well as the percentage of inhibition revealed that AZOX@Dini@NH2-Al-MIL-101 had enhanced germicidal efficacy against rice sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani), evidenced by the synergistic ratio of 1.83. The present study demonstrates a potential application prospect in sustainable plant protection through co-delivery fungicides with MOFs as a platform.

By combining metal nodes and organic linkers one can make millions of different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). At present over 90,000 MOFs have been synthesized and there are databases with over 500,000 predicted structures. This raises the question whether a new experimental or predicted structure adds new information. For MOF-chemists the chemical design space is a combination of pore geometry, metal nodes, organic linkers, and functional groups, but at present we do not have a formalism to quantify optimal coverage of chemical design space. In this work, we show how machine learning can be used to quantify similarities of MOFs. This quantification allows us to use techniques from ecology to analyse the chemical diversity of these materials in terms of diversity metrics. In particular, we show that this diversity analysis can identify biases in the databases, and how such bias can lead to incorrect conclusions. This formalism provides us with a simple and powerful practical guideline to see whether a set of new structures will have the potential for new insights, or constitute a relatively small variation of existing structures.
