... [24] As a result, TH5α-acetone has 3D interconnected porosity, unlike other triptycene-based molecules that have been reported to form hexagonally-packed 1D channels, such as the trisbenzimidazolone T2-γ, [14] trisimidazole FDM-15, [36] and chalcogen-bonded organic framework Trip3Sez. [37] While other triptycene-based HOFs with 3D pores have been reported, those hydrogen-bonded networks have tended to interpenetrate. [20] Hence, TH5α-acetone is a rare example of a non-interpenetrated triptycene-based HOF that features interconnected 3D porosity. ...

... a PXRD patterns of as synthesized and activated ZIF-7 and ZIF-9 nanocrystals. Tick marks represent the characteristic Bragg reflection positions of ZIF-7 np phase (dark blue)61 and lp phase (light blue)23 . b TEM images of ZIF-7 and ZIF-9 nanocrystal aggregates. ...

... Due to their appealing properties such as structural and functional diversity, porous nature, size tunability, and enormous surface area. MOF is an attractive candidate for their potential applications in gas storage, [37][38][39][40][41][42] molecular separation, 40,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] sensors, [51][52][53][54][55][56] and catalysis [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] among all other classical sorbent systems. The balance between the high gravimetric and volumetric adsorptive capacity of MOF makes them undeniably, a promising class of material for adsorptive gas storage application, apart from zeolites, COFs, and complex hydrides that are available for gas adsorption applications. ...

... Solid adsorbents such as amine-functionalized porous (Pacheco et al. 2022)、zeolite (Cañada-Barcala et al. 2023)、carbon (Li et al. 2023;Otgonbayar et al. 2022) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Ding et al. 2019;Mao et al. 2020) have been widely investigated. Among these adsorbents, amine-functionalized adsorbents have been explored the most thoroughly for post-synthesis CO 2 collection because they can successfully adsorb low concentrations of CO 2 from air including water vapor (Mason et al. 2015). ...

... After adsorption, if happened with carbon disulfide, the presence of a disulfide group in both zinc and carbon materials enhances their biodegradability and lowers their toxicity (Li et al. 2014;Onwudiwe et al. 2016;Martín et al. 2019;Saiyed et al. 2021). • The adsorbent under investigation could be regenerated by heating (~ 100 ℃) under a flow of nitrogen, under a flow of steam, or boiling water (Yang et al. 2006;Wang et al. 2015;McGuirk et al. 2018). • Even though the spent adsorbent is becoming inactive, it can be treated properly and optimized to produce a valuable product such as biogas (Chen et al. 2020;Wang et al. 2021b. ...

... For the proof of concept outlined here, the isostructural MOF materials ZIF-7 and ZIF-9 were selected for the formulation of responsive type 3 PLs 23 . Both frameworks feature the same sod (sodalite) topology, and are known to undergo a phase transition from a nearly non-porous np phase to a porous lp phase (Fig. 2a) upon the adsorption of various gases (for example CO 2 and different hydrocarbons), and further fulfill the other requirements for the preparation of responsive PLs given above [35][36][37][38] . Moreover, the previous study by Lai et al. already demonstrated that at least ZIF-7 is a suitable material for the development of breathing PLs 13 . ...

... ii) Shape. According to Wang et al. (2018), nanoparticles may have three dimensions, such as nanospheres, nanocubes, nanostars, and nanoprism; two dimensions, such as graphene layers; one dimension, such as nanotubes and; zero dimension, such as dots-shaped nanoparticles. iii) Type of material. ...

... Allosteric regulation is widely encountered in natural systems, and many artificial host-guest systems displaying allosteric binding have been investigated in the literature in order to better understand these processes. [22,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49] Along our efforts to develop porphyrin double cage compounds, we previously reported on H 2 2 (Figure 1) in which a porphyrin molecule is featured to which two glycoluril cages are attached via 8 covalent bonds. [50,51] This host was found to bind two viologen guests via negative allosteric cooperativity, i. e., the second viologen was bound more than 3 orders of magnitude weaker than the first. ...

... For instance, ZIF-8 and amine-synthesised UiO-66 along with CpG oligonucleotides have been used for studying DNA-MOF interactions [18] . Oligonucleotides have also been loaded onto Zr and Fe-based MOFs [19] . However, most of the reports utilized short-chain DNA sequences which are significantly different from functional genes suitable for gene therapy. ...

... With the advent of the halideinduced ligand rearrangement reaction, 14,15 it is now possible to make WLA complexes with two different hemilabile ligands, providing the ability to synthesize complexes with asymmetric reaction sites, complex recognition pockets, and more sophisticated architectural parameters and reactivities. 16,17 The stimuliresponsive properties of these assemblies render the WLA an emerging and important tool for preparing allosterically addressable supramolecular constructs that mimic enzymes. 18−21 Typically, WLA complexes are assembled from d 8 transition metals (such as Rh I and Pt II ) and hemilabile bidentate phosphino−chalcoether (P,X; X = O, S, Se) ligands. ...
