Two bilayered metal-organic frameworks with nanoporous channels were synthesized at different ligand-to-metal ratios, which demonstrated an interesting crystal-to-crystal transformation property and a special fluorescent response to the different guest molecules included.

A two-dimensional porous framework, which was formed from neutral discrete hexanuclear copper clusters via self-assembly, exhibited highly selective absorption of aromatic molecules in water with special fluorescent response.

New lanthanide heterometallic molecular squares functionalized with Ru-bipy antenna chromophore Ru2-Ln2 exhibit sensitized near-infrared emission upon photo-excitation of the Ru-centered antenna at 420 nm.

A 3-D porous zeolite-like metal-organic framework surviving guest removal is assembled from a well-defined tetrahedral Fe(4)L(6) cavity by the cooperativity of hydrogen bonds and [small pi]-[small pi] stacking.

A novel multiple alkali metal cluster K3(H2O)]3+ interior within a high-symmetry cubic capsule containing 16-nitrogen donors is achieved via self-assembly from twenty components.
