However, folic acid supplementation decreases the incidence of neural tube defects by 70% and reduces neonatal mortality from NTDs by 57%[1, 2]. Therefore, folic acid supplementation plays a crucial role in reducing infant mortality and infant disability in developing countries.

Our results imply that replacing the phenyl spacers of organic linkers with triple-bond spacers is an effective strategy for boosting molecule-accessible gravimetric surface areas of MOFs and related high-porosity materials.

For nonspherically symmetric particles, polarization effects and induced dipoles can dominate charge-charge interactions. These charge-induced dipole interactions mediate orientation-specific aggregation of both oppositely and like-charged particles.
