Although the extended π-systems in NU-1000 confer favorable properties for diverse photochemical applications, they also increase the susceptibility of the MOF to photodegradation. However, the photostability of NU-1000 has yet to be systematically studied and remains poorly understood. Herein, we report that in the presence of oxygen, water, and light of appropriate energy, extensive oxidation of the pyrene linkers of NU-1000 can occur to yield terephthalic acid as the major decomposition product. Through extensive mechanistic studies, we show that the open framework structure of NU-1000 greatly facilitates linker oxidation, with more than 25-fold greater linker decomposition from the MOF within 3 h of photoirradiation compared to a homogeneous solution of the linker, brought about by rapid generation of pyrene-centred holes. By determining the specific conditions under which the MOF remains stable, our findings offer not just valuable strategies for preserving the integrity of NU-1000 for controlled applications but also reveal its ability to decompose into benign products under ambient light and oxygen, which could provide an eco-friendly route for avoiding environmental accumulation of MOF materials for various applications.","PeriodicalId":33,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry of Materials","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, understanding their intricate structure–property relationships remains challenging, for both bulk and nanoscale forms, such as colloidal quantum dots (QDs). In this study, in addition to conventional characterization by X-ray diffraction and optical absorption, we show that variable temperature solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, complemented by computational modeling, provides unique insight into the local coordination geometry and electronic structure of LHPs in relation to the moderate change in composition or materials morphology. For CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> and FAPbBr<sub>3</sub> in the form of QDs and bulk, we uncover nuanced disparities between their orthorhombic and on-average cubic structures, respectively, reflected in their temperature-dependent <sup>207</sup>Pb chemical shifts and optical band gaps. Specifically, the mode of thermal expansion, be it the increase of the Pb–Br–Pb angles in the orthorhombic structure or the elongation of the Pb–Br bonds in a cubic lattice, gives rise to an increase of the chemical shift by 0.63 or 1.53 ppm/K and optical band gap by 0.18 or 0.66 meV/K, respectively. Identifying the chemical shift as a spectroscopic descriptor, in particular as a lattice ruler, is highly instrumental also for LHP QDs, capturing the difference between CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> and FAPbBr<sub>3</sub>. In a broader perspective, establishing relations across spectroscopic and structural descriptors for diverse LHP compositions and morphologies paves the way for informed design strategies in next-generation optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":33,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry of Materials","volume":"277 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we reported a rational design of poly(trimethylenecarbonate) (PTMC)-based NO-releasing polymersomes equipped with cell-penetrating guanidine. The guanidine group conjugated with the polymersome significantly enhances the cellular uptake efficiency induced by the unique interactions between guanidine and the cancer cell surface.
