The chemistry and applications of flexible porous coordination polymers

Electrocatalysis CO2 to Tunable Syngas upon Fe Clusters Catalyst Dispersed on Bamboo-like NCTs

“…Sustained burning of fossil fuels and power plants have increased atmospheric CO 2 concentration to >400 ppm, leading carbon dioxide to become the heart of achieving energy sustainability. , Additionally, atmospheric carbon dioxide is not just relevant to climate but also it is a major health issue resulting in respiratory illnesses when the concentration is up to 600 ppm. , Therefore, occupational health and safety regulations require that the concentration of CO 2 should be limited to <0.5%. In the past years, CO 2 decrease was treated with traditional methods, such as base adsorption, carbon capture, and storage, which could not resolve the issues fundamentally. − To solve the carbon problem, many novel strategies have been developed, among them carbon cycling is considered as the most hopeful and prospective such as photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (PC-CO 2 RR) and electrocatalytic CO 2 RR (EC-CO 2 RR) to valuable chemical products or fuels. − Especially during the process of electrochemical catalysis of CO 2 , a major competing reduction is hydrogen evolution in aqueous electrolyte, which makes the CO 2 conversion decline. Considering this reason, EC-CO 2 RR catalysis was focused on minimizing the hydrogen evolution to achieve higher CO 2 RR Faradaic efficiency (FE). − However, value-added products synthesized should be reacted with hydrogen.…”

Mixed-Linker Strategy for the Construction of Metal–Organic Framework Combined with Dyes toward Alcohol Detection

“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an emerging class of highly ordered porous materials, which are constructed by metal ions (or clusters) and organic fragments linked through coordination bonds. , The tunability in pore shape and size and functionalities makes MOFs attract widespread interest in numerous applications including gas storage and separation, luminescence, drug delivery, catalysis, sensor, and so on. − Over the past two decades, the chemistry of linking inorganic clusters and organic fragments by strong bonds to make extended crystalline MOF structures, that is reticular chemistry, has emerged with great progress. , A series of systematic expansion of isoreticular porous MOFs has been explored by a simple one-pot synthesis. − Moreover, the stepwise assembly of porous crystalline MOF materials with multifunctionalization was also studied by postsynthetic modification. − However, the precise control over the composition, structure, and properties of MOFs remains a generally elusive but worthwhile dream. It is still a great challenge to prepare mixed-linker MOFs with high stability and tunable functionality.…”

Rotation configuration control of the sp2 bond in the diimidazole–dicarboxylate linker for the isomerism of porous coordination polymers

“…Porous coordination polymers (PCPs), also known as metalorganic frameworks (MOFs), are a new promising type of crystalline material that are constructed from organic linkers and inorganic metal clusters. [1][2][3][4][5][6] They have attracted increasing attention due to their precisely controlled structure modulation as well as modifiable functional environment that are not available in other conventional porous materials (zeolites, activated carbon). 7,8 Based on the charming nature of PCPs, their structural diversity has been of prime interest in the application fields of catalysis, gas storage and separation, chemical sensors, drug delivery, and so on in recent years.…”
