  1. N -2-aryl-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were synthesized as new ligand systems for the construction of photoluminescent active metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Crystal structures revealed that the five-membered triazoles show an unsymmetrical conformation with the two C4,C5-substituted benzenes adopting a “twisted-planar” geometry. As a result, a MOF constructed from this ligand exhibited cross-layer interactions with improved water stability (at 100 °C for 24 hours). Furthermore, enhanced photoluminescence emissions were observed upon the formation of MOF structures ( Φ up to 30%), suggesting the potential applications of these photoactive porous materials through this new ligand design.

  2. Abstract A reverse‐binding‐selectivity between monovalent and divalent cations was observed for two different self‐assembly G16‐hexadecamer and G8‐octamer systems. The dissociation constant between G4‐quadruplex and monomer was calculated via VT‐1H NMR experiments. Quantitative energy profiles revealed entropy as the key factor for the weaker binding toward Ba2+compared with K+in the G8‐octamer system despite stronger ion‐dipole interactions. This study is the first direct comparison of the G4‐quartet binding affinity between mono and divalent cations and will benefit future applications of G‐quadruplex‐related research. Further competition experiments between the G8‐octamer and 18‐crown‐6 with K+demonstrated the potential of this G8system as a new potassium receptor.
