TL;DR: This review addresses the various mechanisms of linker rotation reported in the growing collection of literature, followed by a highlight of the methods currently used in their study, and concludes with the impacts that such dynamics have on existing and future applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors find that the site of binding of Ti(IV) is at linker defect sites and not incorporated into the inorganic secondary building unit through metal exchange.

TL;DR: The validity of the modulated synthesis approach was confirmed for a diverse set of Al‐MOFs, namely X‐MIL‐53 (X=OH, CH3O, Br, NO2), CAU‐10, MIL‐69, and Al(OH)ndc (ndc=1,4‐naphtalenedicarboxylate), highlighting the potential benefits of extending the use of this modulator to other coordination materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the phenylene functionalization of the organic linkers can be used to tune the rotors' steric environment, shifting linker rotation from completely static to rapid motions at frequencies above 100 MHz.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors exploit the inherent order to produce chromatic polarizers based on visible-light linear dichroism via cobalt paddlewheel chromophores, which can be ordered in metal-organic frameworks.
