Constructing MOF-on-MOF heterojunction with elaborate charge transfer mechanism and interface is a promising strategy for improving the photocatalytic properties of MOFs. Herein, Step-scheme (S-scheme) MIL-125-NH2@CoFe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) reported first time. The heterostructure exhibits sandwich-like morphology hollow CoFe PBA nanocages selectively assembled on top-down surfaces MIL-1...

In the present study, a nanoporous metal organic framework (MOF) based on iron metal and amino terephthalate ligand MIL-101-NH2-Fe has been used as a carrier for loading and in vitro release of 5-flurouracil (5-FU) anticancer drug. The 5-FU drug loaded MOF was 13 wt % by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The 5-FU release was monitored under physiological condition at 37°C, pH 7.4 in simul...

The use MOF-508a as sensing component for the precise discerning of bisphenol A via the electrochemical technique and its synthesis by a simple method were reported in the present study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied to describe the MOF-508a’s composition and structure. In addition, MOF-508a was exploited so that the glassy carbon electrode could be...

The gas-phase loading of [Zn4O(bdc)3] (MOF-5; bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) with the volatile compound [Ru(cod)(cot)] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, cot = 1,3,5-cyclooctatriene) was followed by solid-state (13)C magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. Subsequent hydrogenolysis of the adsorbed complex inside the porous structure of MOF-5 at 3 bar and 150 degrees C was performed, yielding ruth...

Two porous, chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Ca14(l-lactate)20(acetate)8(C2H5OH)(H2O) (MOF-1201) and Ca6(l-lactate)3(acetate)9(H2O) (MOF-1203), are constructed from Ca2+ ions and l-lactate [CH3CH(OH)COO-], where Ca2+ ions are bridged by the carboxylate and hydroxyl groups of lactate and the carboxylate group of acetate to give a three-dimensional arrangement of Ca(-COO, -OH) polyhedra su...

The low thermal conductivity of the prototype hydrogen storage adsorbent, metal-organic framework 5 (MOF-5), can limit performance in applications requiring rapid gas uptake and release, such as in hydrogen storage for fuel cell vehicles. As a means to improve thermal conductivity, we have synthesized MOF-5-based composites containing 1e10 wt.% of expanded natural graphite (ENG) and evaluated t...

The construction of efficient enzyme mimetics for the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins is challenging due to the high stability of peptide bonds and the importance of proteases in biology and industry. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) consisting of infinite crystalline lattices with metal clusters and organic linkers may provide opportunities for protease mimic which has remained unknown....

The MYST family of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) plays critical roles in diverse cellular processes, such as the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Lysine autoacetylation of the MYST HATs has received considerable attention recently. Nonetheless, the mechanism and function of the autoacetylation process are not well defined. To better understand the biochemical mechanism of MYST auto...
