Enzymatic catalysis has fueled considerable interest from chemists due to its high efficiency
and selectivity. However, the structural complexity and vulnerability hamper the application …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a relatively new family of materials that attract
lots of attention thanks to their unique features such as hierarchical porosity, active metal …

A defining characteristic of nearly all catalytically functional MOFs is uniform, molecular-
scale porosity. MOF pores, linkers and nodes that define them, help regulate reactant and …

Materials capable of the safe and efficient capture or degradation of toxic chemicals,
including chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), are …

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a versatile class of porous materials offering
unprecedented scope for chemical and structural tunability. On account of their synthetic …

Defects are now recognized to be a useful tool in tailoring the properties of metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs). The introduction of missing linker and cluster defects into MOFs …

Owing to their molecular building blocks, yet highly crystalline nature, metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) sit at the interface between molecule and material. Their diverse …

Organophoshorus nerve agents are among the most toxic chemicals known to humans, and
because of their unfortunate recent use despite international bans, there is an urgent need …

Nanozymes have been viewed a kind of emerging nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking
catalytic activity, which have the advantage of low cost and good robustness. However, the …

Inspired by enzymatic catalysis, it is crucial to construct hydrogen-bonding-rich
microenvironment around catalytic sites; unfortunately, its precise construction and …
