An encoded asymmetric ligand for metal-selective topological assembly of two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks

Two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs), with diverse topological architectures, provide a powerful platform for exploring unconventional electronic and lattice-dynamical responses. Yet their structural diversity remains fundamentally constrained by the fixed geometry of high-symmetry ligands. Here, we introduce an encoded asymmetric ligand, benzo[b]triphenylene-2,3,6,7,11,12-hexaol (BTH), for metal-selective topological assembly. By integrating multi-site coordination fields with sterically differentiated environments, BTH exhibits distinct topological programmability: different divalent metal ions direct divergent framework architectures. Specifically, coordination of BTH with divalent Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions assembles Cu-BTH-MOF with a dual-mode hexagonal pore topology and Zn-BTH-MOF with uniform hexagonal channels, respectively, as supported by PXRD Pawley refinement, structural simulations, and pore-size distribution analysis. Furthermore, this topological divergence is accompanied by a significant divergence in charge-transport properties, with Cu-BTH-MOF reaching an electrical conductivity of 1.186 x 10-3 S cm-1, more than six orders of magnitude higher than that of Zn-BTH-MOF (3.38 x 10-10 S cm-1). This work establishes ligand desymmetrization as a programmable strategy for metal-selective topological diversification in 2D MOFs.

Atomic-scale origin of charge density wave-driven metal-semiconductor transition in an incommensurately modulated metal-organic framework

The intrinsic incommensurate charge density wave in metal-organic frameworks has remained elusive due to the lack of direct evidence linking atomic-scale structural modulation to macroscopic electronic properties. Using high-quality Pr3HHTP2 (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) single crystals as a model system, we precisely resolve, for the first time, the incommensurately modulated structure of a conductive metal-organic framework at 100 K (modulation vector q = 0.39143(12) c*) via temperature-dependent single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The subsequent observation of a reversible metal-semiconductor transition around 350 K, which perfectly synchronizes with the disappearance of the structural modulation, provides convincing evidence for the electronic origin of the lattice distortion. Guest water molecules stabilize the modulated phase by synergistically regulating the relative rotation of the linkers and the interlayer spacing, thereby optimizing the inter-linker interactions. This work establishes a concrete experimental criterion for one-dimensional charge density wave in metal-organic frameworks and provides an ideal platform for probing coupled electronic-lattice modulations.

Unraveling Intrinsic Thermal Conductivity in Layered Conductive MOF Single Crystals

Layered conductive metal-organic frameworks (LCMOFs) show great promise in energy and electronics due to their high electrical conductivity and tunable pore structures. They are considered ideal "phonon-glass, electron-crystal" materials. However, their intrinsic thermal transport properties, particularly the thermal conductivity in the single-crystalline state, have never been explored before. The applicability of the Wiedemann-Franz law to such complex porous materials is a key scientific question to describe their thermoelectric relationship. We investigated single crystals of three LCMOFs (Cu3HHTP2, Co9HHTP4, Nd3HHTP2) using the microfabricated suspended device. Results showed ultralow thermal conductivities (0.075-0.194 W m-1 K-1) along the {\pi}-{\pi} stacking direction. Crucially, Nd3HHTP2 exhibited a high electrical conductivity of 398 S cm-1, yet its thermal conductivity (0.148 W m-1 K-1) was comparable to the other two LCMOFs with significantly lower electrical conductivities. Structural characterization revealed that the incommensurate modulation, and in-plane correlated disorder within the Nd3HHTP2 structure are the potential causes of strong phonon scattering and the observed ultralow thermal conductivity.

Tunable spin-phonon polarons in a chiral molecular qubit framework

Chiral structures that produce asymmetric spin-phonon coupling can theoretically generate spin-phonon polarons -- quasiparticles exhibiting non-degenerate spin states with phonon displacements. These quasiparticles are speculated to be the origin of chirality-induced spin selectivity and presumably can display exotic dynamic behaviors. However, direct experimental evidence of spin-phonon polarons has been lacking. Using a chiral molecular qubit framework embedding stable semiquinone-like radicals, we report spin dynamic signatures that indicate the formation of spin-phonon polarons for the first time. Our non-adiabatic model reveals that these quasiparticles introduce an active spin relaxation channel when polaron reorganization energy approaches Zeeman splitting. This new channel manifests itself as anomalous, temperature-independent spin relaxation, which can be suppressed by high magnetic fields or pore-filling solvents (e.g. CH2Cl2, CS2). Such field- and guest-tunable relaxation is unattainable in conventional spin systems. Harnessing this mechanism could boost repetition rates in spin-based quantum information technologies without compromising coherence or quantum sensing performance.

HY-Motion 1.0: Scaling Flow Matching Models for Text-To-Motion Generation

We present HY-Motion 1.0, a series of state-of-the-art, large-scale, motion generation models capable of generating 3D human motions from textual descriptions. HY-Motion 1.0 represents the first successful attempt to scale up Diffusion Transformer (DiT)-based flow matching models to the billion-parameter scale within the motion generation domain, delivering instruction-following capabilities that significantly outperform current open-source benchmarks. Uniquely, we introduce a comprehensive, full-stage training paradigm -- including large-scale pretraining on over 3,000 hours of motion data, high-quality fine-tuning on 400 hours of curated data, and reinforcement learning from both human feedback and reward models -- to ensure precise alignment with the text instruction and high motion quality. This framework is supported by our meticulous data processing pipeline, which performs rigorous motion cleaning and captioning. Consequently, our model achieves the most extensive coverage, spanning over 200 motion categories across 6 major classes. We release HY-Motion 1.0 to the open-source community to foster future research and accelerate the transition of 3D human motion generation models towards commercial maturity.
