Photochromism, photoluminescence modulation and selective recognition of small molecules of two highly stable dynamic metal-organic frameworks

Dalton Trans. 2017 Nov 21;46(45):15656-15660. doi: 10.1039/c7dt03783j.

Abstract

Two highly stable dynamic metal-organic frameworks exhibit photochromism, tunable photoluminescence, and selective detection of oxygen, which can be recognised by the naked eye through color changes. Furthermore, they also display selective recognition of benzyl alcohol and halogenated solvents, respectively.
