Schematic of FeNi-BDC-NH2 and its pathway to a NONOate structure by combining with NO, arrows show graphs of NO adsorption performance and high adsorption selectivity.

The bimetallic metal–organic frameworks of FeNi-BDC and FeNi-BDC-NH2 (BDC, 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) with similar Fe/Ni molar ratio, crystal structure, porosity and thermal stability were synthesized by a solvothermal method. FeNi-BDC-NH2 demonstrated superior NO adsorption performance and high adsorption selectivity, indicating that the introduction of NH2 on the ligand can improve the adsorption capacity and selectivity of the material for NO, which also provides a new strategy for adsorption and separation of NO in a flue gas environment.

Schematics of adamantane and a number of its biologically active derivatives

Adamantyl-containing compounds have proven to be effective ligands at a range of therapeutic targets. Its unique structural and physicochemical properties provide a promising strategy to increase lipophilicity and introduce three-dimensionality to a structure. The following Account highlights our group’s research in five drug discovery programs showcasing the use of adamantane. (Image credit: Chianna Dane.)
