Ni-doped MOF-5s were successfully synthesized for the first time via solvothermal crystallization process to enhance the hydrostability. Several characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetrical analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy instrument (EDS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), infrared spectroscopy (IR), atomic sorption, diffuse-reflectance UV-vis spectroscopy, and gas sorption measurement, strongly support the effective incorporation of Ni(II) ions into the framework. The results demonstrated that the Ni-doped MOF-5s not only exhibit larger Langmuir specific surface areas and larger pores than the undoped MOF-5, but also significantly enhance water resistance of the framework. The H(2) uptake capacity of undoped MOF-5 drops rapidly when exposed to the ambient air, whereas the H(2) adsorptions of the Ni-doped MOF-5s remain stable for 4 days.

A rare, robust microporous lanthanide metal-organic framework with 1D honeycomb-type channels is presented. Excellent adsorption capabilities for N(2), H(2), and CO(2) and significant selective sorption of CO(2) over N(2) and CH(4) were observed. Moreover, the guest-dependent luminescent behavior of these lanthanide materials shows a potential use for the sensing of small-molecule pollutants such as benzene and acetone.

A robust porous metal-organic framework (MOF), [Co(3)(ndc)(HCOO)(3)(μ(3)-OH)(H(2)O)](n) (1) (H(2)ndc=5-(4-pyridyl)-isophthalic acid), was synthesized with pronounced porosity. MOF 1 contained two different types of nanotubular channels, which exhibited a new topology with the Schlafli symbol of {4(2).6(5).8(3)}{4(2).6}. MOF 1 showed high-efficiency for the selective sorption of small molecules, including the energy-correlated gases of H(2), CH(4), and CO(2), and environment-correlated steams of alcohols, acetone, and pyridine. Gas-sorption experiments indicated that MOF 1 exhibited not only a high CO(2)-uptake (25.1 wt % at 273 K/1 bar) but also the impressive selective sorption of CO(2) over N(2) and CH(4). High H(2)-uptake (2.04 wt % at 77 K/1 bar) was also observed. Moreover, systematic studies on the sorption of steams of organic molecules displayed excellent capacity for the sorption of the homologous series of alcohols (C(1)-C(5)), acetone, pyridine, as well as water.

This meta-analysis showed the evidence that TP53 codon 72 (CC versus CG+GG) and intron 3 16-bp insertion (Ins versus Del) polymorphisms may affect individual susceptibility to POAG. Moreover, stratified analyses that detected the effect of TP53 codon 72 polymorphism seemed to be varied by ethnicity. Given the limited sample size, further investigations are needed to validate the association.
