High-resolution structure of Zn3(HOTP)2 (HOTP = hexaoxidotri-phenylene), a three-dimensional conductive MOF Although two-dimensional (2D) electrically conducting metal-organic frameworks (cMOFs) have become prominent due to their numerous potential applications, their structures are often implied or assumed from rather crude powder X-ray diffrac-tion data.

Designing anti-bacterial supramolecular gels from primary ammonium dicarboxylate (PAD) salts for self-delivery applications† Primary ammonium dicarboxylate (PAD) salts often display 2D columnar hydrogen bonded networks known as the PAD supramolecular synthon in the context of crystal engineering. The PAD synthon is known to play an effective role in supramolecular gelation.

Self-assembled multidyes-sensitized erbium single molecules for boosting energy transfer light-upconversion in solution. Efficient near-infrared (NIR) to visible (VIS) light-upconversion should combine large absorption coefficients NIR with massive quantum yields UC so that the overall brightness BUC = NIRUC is maximum.
