In this study, we report the immobilization and stabilization of catalase (CAT) and α-amylase (α-Amy) using a novel charge-assisted HOF, TNU-14. This HOF is constructed from tiramidinium and tricarboxylate building blocks under ambient conditions. Benefiting from the electrostatic interactions between the negatively charged enzyme surfaces and the positively charged tiramidinium units, the TNU-14 exoskeleton forms around the enzymes within 15 minutes. As a result, TNU-14 effectively protects the enzymes from degradation while maintaining their activity under harsh chemical and physical conditions, including acidic or alkaline environments, proteolytic enzyme trypsin, chaotropic agent urea, high temperatures, and through at least ten catalysis/filtration cycles. This study represents the first demonstration of a charge-assisted HOF scaffold assembled from trigonal building blocks for enzyme immobilization, paving the way for developing a toolset for enzyme and protein carriers.","PeriodicalId":79,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143056855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, by rationally modulating the coordination environment of Cu(I) ions and integrating a photoactive Ir(III) module into a supramolecular system, we introduce a simple yet effective approach for O2 activation (O2→1O2→O2•-) under LED irradiation (450 nm), leading to efficient C(sp3)−H photo-oxidation of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines. The hexaformyl end-capped fac-Ir(ppy)₃ module (1), Ir(III)-based twin-cavity cage (2), and the supramolecular Cu2@2 entity—where two Cu(I) ions are coordinated within cage 2—were comprehensively characterized using NMR, HR-MS, and X-ray crystallography. The confined cavities of 2 effectively trap Cu(I) ions, shielding them from oxidation by O₂. However, mechanistic studies reveal that the photoinduced singlet oxygen (¹O₂) generated from the fac-Ir(ppy)₃ module could activate Cu(I), facilitating the generate superoxide radical (O2•-) species. Importantly, the regeneration of the Cu(I) active redox state can be accomplished through electron transfer from the photoactive *Ir(III) to the resulting Cu(II) ions. This study introduces a gradual and controlled energy/electron delivery process from Ir(III) module to O2 and the Cu centres, offering an advanced supramolecular strategy for visible light-induced O2 activation in oxidation reactions.","PeriodicalId":79,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143056739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conjugate showed substantial emission enhancement (I/Io = 9.8) in the presence of MMP-2/9, which allowed for the sensitive detection of MMP-2/9 activity in live cells and the facile differentiation of cancer and normal cells. The conjugate also exhibited controllable singlet oxygen generation and thereby photocytotoxicity in these cell lines. Additionally, complex 2 was utilised to fabricate two types of hydrogels: a non-biodegradable hydrogel Gel-1 as a cell culture scaffold integrated with MMP-2/9 sensing capability for examining the enzyme activity in 3D cell culture; and a biodegradable hydrogel Gel-2 as an MMP-2/9-sensitive carrier for selective delivery of luminescent iridium(III) complexes into cancer cells for imaging and photocytotoxic applications.

Nevertheless, the control synthesis of these two phases with effective interface, uniform dispersion, and simplified synthesis process are still challenging. Herein, we proposed a strategy that involves pre-construction of Co/CoO@C heterostructure followed by post-conversion by phosphorization to achieve the precise synthesis of Co2P/CoP@C heterostructure, which was realized by utilizing MOF as the self-sacrificial template. The oxygen-coordinated MOF that shows advantages in building Co/CoO heterostructure and further conversion to phosphides was employed in this work and grown into a high-quality membrane via cathodic electrodeposition on the graphite substrate (Gss). The obtained catalyst (Gss-Co2P/CoP@C-800) requires 146 and 365 mV overpotentials to reach a current density of 100 mA cm-2 for HER and OER respectively, and 1.54 V to reach current density of 10 mA cm-2 for water electrolysis. Beyond the significantly enhanced conductivity that originates from the robust interaction between MOF and Gss, the establishment of effective Co2P/CoP interface also plays a pivotal role in contributing to the high performance of Gss-Co2P/CoP@C-800. As revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the unique d-orbital electron distribution of Co2P/CoP and the enhanced state density near the Fermi level facilitate its efficient electron transport and renders the Co2P/CoP heterostructure region a crucial active site for water electrolysis. This study would provide new insights into the rational design and construction of heterostructures based on MOFs for efficient and green energy conversions.","PeriodicalId":79,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143044309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formation of Co2P and Fe2P on rGO/CS not only protects the silicate from alkaline corrosion but also generates dual-active centers that synergistically improve conductivity and catalytic activity. Multiple interface coupling between rGO, CS, and (Co,Fe)xPy triggers a built-in electric field, which significantly enhances charge separation, electron transport, and reaction kinetics. This built-in electric field lowers the energy barrier for HER by facilitating H-OH bond dissociation and accelerates OER by promoting OH⁻ adsorption.
