Abstract In this study, we synthesized a water-stable Fe-based metal-organic framework, MIL-88B (Fe) by a solvothermal method, and for the first time, MIL-88B (Fe)/HRP composite was prepared for the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) by immobilizing horseradish peroxidase on MIL-88B (Fe) using covalent fixation method. The material was characterized via XRD, FTIR, TG, and SEM methods. The results showed that the composite could remove bisphenol A quickly and efficiently by adding the hydrophilic agent polyethylene glycol, with the removal rate of BPA up to 99.2% within 1 hour. In addition, the initial concentration of bisphenol A, the dosage of the immobilized enzyme and the amount of H2O2 added had a great influence on the degradation efficiency. It was found that immobilized HRP could be reused, and its storage stability and thermal stability were better than free HRP. These show that immobilized enzymes have a broad application prospect in waste-water treatment.

A simple solvent- and catalyst-free method is presented for the synthesis of the mesoporous metal-organic framework (MOF) MAF-6 (RHO-Zn(eIm)2) based on the reaction of ZnO with 2-ethylimidazole vapor at temperatures ≤ 100 °C. By translating this method to a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) protocol, mesoporous crystalline films could be deposited for the first time entirely from the vapor phase. A combination of PALS and Kr physisorption measurements confirmed the porosity of these MOF-CVD films and the size of the MAF-6 supercages (diam. ~2 nm), in close agreement with powder data and calculations. MAF-6 powders and films were further characterized by XRD, TGA, SEM, FTIR, PDF and EXAFS. The exceptional uptake capacity of the mesoporous MAF-6 in comparison to the microporous ZIF-8 is demonstrated by vapor-phase loading of a molecule larger than the ZIF-8 windows.

Nanosized porphyrin-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) attract considerable attention as solid-state photosensitizers for biological applications. In this study, we have for the first time synthesised and characterised phosphinate-based MOF nanoparticles, nanoICR-2 (Inorganic Chemistry Rez). We demonstrate that nanoICR-2 can be decorated with anionic 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-R-phosphinatophenyl)porphyrins (R = methyl, isopropyl, phenyl) by utilizing unsaturated metal sites on the nanoparticle surface. The use of these porphyrins allows for superior loading of the nanoparticles when compared with commonly used 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin. The nanoICR-2/porphyrin composites retain part of the free porphyrins photophysical properties, while the photodynamic efficacy is strongly affected by the R substituent at the porphyrin phosphinate groups. Thus, phosphinatophenylporphyrin with phenyl substituents has the strongest photodynamic efficacy due to the most efficient cellular uptake.

We reported for the first time using metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles as effective nanofillers to significantly enhance the mechanical performance of hydrogels. The MOF hydrogels have been developed for drug delivery materials with high loading capacity and much extended drug releasing profiles.

In this study, a lanthanide metal organic framework based on the ligand of terephthalic acid derived from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles was designed and synthesized. The structure and morphology of the Tb-BDC was investigated by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Tb-BDC displays a high selectivity and sensitivity towards picric acid (TNP). The luminescence intensities exhibit a linear relation, with a concentration of TNP over the range of 1 × 10−5–1 × 10−4 M, with a limit of detection of 1 × 10−5 M. The sensing mechanism is also discussed. This is the first time that waste PET materials have been used as the starting precursor of terephthalic acid (BDC) for the fabrication of lanthanide MOF (metal organic framework), which is applied in sensing TNP.
