Turn-On Circularly Polarized Luminescence in Metal–Organic FrameworksXue-Zhi Wang, Meng-Ying Sun, Zhijin Huang, Mo Xie, Ruishan Huang, Huihui Lu, Zujin Zhao, Xiao-Ping Zhou,* and Dan Li**The fabrication of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) active materials by self-assembly is still in its challenge. In this work, a family of homochiral metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and metal–organic cages (MOCs) are constructed by solvothermal subcomponent self-assembly. These MOFs feature an eta topolog

Superoxide Ion and Singlet Oxygen Photogenerated by Metalloporphyrin-Based Metal−Organic Frameworks for Highly Efficient and Selective Photooxidation of a Sulfur Mustard SimulantZi-Hao Long, Dong Luo, Kun Wu, Zi-Ye Chen, Ming-Min Wu, Xiao-Ping Zhou,* and Dan LiABSTRACT: The exploration of highly efficient materials for the degradation of chemical warfare agents has been a longstanding task for preventing human exposure. Herein, we report a series of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) MTCPP-La based

Kun Wu, Ji Zheng, Yong-Liang Huang, Dong Luo, Yan Yan Li, Weigang Lu * and Dan Li *Abstract:Herein, we report the synthesis of three pairs of isostructural zirconium- and hafnium-based homometallic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs, termed Zr-MOF-1 and Hf-MOF-1, Zr-MOF-2 and Hf-MOF-2, and Zr-MOF-3 and Hf-MOF-3) with respective scu, sqc, and flu topologies by using the aggregation-induced-emission (AIE) ligand H4BTTB (4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetrayl)tetrabenzoic acid). As expected, all of th

Yifang Zhao and Dan Li *Abstract:Metal–orgainc frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid inorganic/organic framework materials and have been widely used in smart sensing. Among them, MOF-based monochromatic luminescent sensors display a limited detecting accuracy due to their easily disturbed signal. Combining the merits of lanthanide (Ln) luminescence with a porous skeleton, Ln-functionalized dual/multiple-emitting metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited potential applications in ratiometr

In this work, we designed and prepared a phosphorescence Cu6L3 trigonal prismatic cage, which accommodates a series of aromatic guest molecules. Single crystal X-ray analysis rev

Gui-Fang Hua, Xiao-Jing Xie, Weigang Lu * and Dan Li *Abstract:C2 separation is of great importance in the petrochemical industry. Traditionally, it is performed by distillation at cryogenic temperatures, which necessitates the consumption of a huge amount of energy to operate the refrigeration system in the production process. In this regard, it is imperative to seek alternative separation methods with high efficiency and low energy cost. Although of recent origin, metal–organic frameworks (MOF
