Introduction to Metal–Organic Frameworks

Luminescent Functional Metal–Organic Frameworks

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) display a wide range of luminescent behaviors resulting from the multifaceted nature of their structure. In this critical review we discuss the origins of MOF luminosity, which include the linker, the coordinated metal ions, antenna effects, excimer and exciplex formation, and guest molecules. The literature describing these effects is comprehensively surveyed, including a categorization of each report according to the type of luminescence observed. Finally, we discuss potential applications of luminescent MOFs. This review will be of interest to researchers and synthetic chemists attempting to design luminescent MOFs, and those engaged in the extension of MOFs to applications such as chemical, biological, and radiation detection, medical imaging, and electro-optical devices (141 references).

A novel 3D porous metal-organic framework based on trinuclear cadmium clusters as a promising luminescent material exhibiting tunable emissions between UV and visible wavelengths.

Using two 4-substitued triazole ligands, 4-(pyrid-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L1) and 4-(pyrid-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L2), a series of novel triazole–cadmium(II) complexes varying from zero- to three-dimensional have been prepared and their crystal structures determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. [Cd2(μ2-L1)3(L1)2(NO3)(μ2-NO3)(H2O)2](NO3)2·1.75H2O (1) is a binuclear complex containing bidendate, monodedate and free nitrate anions. When the bridging anions SCN− and dca (dca = N(CN)2−) were added to the reaction system of 1, one-dimensional (1D) [Cd(L1)2(NCS)2]n (2) and two-dimensional (2D) [Cd(L1)2(dca)2]n (3) were isolated, respectively. When L2 instead of L1 was used, [Cd(L2)2(NCS)2(H2O)2] (4) and 1D [Cd(L2)2(dca)2]n (5) were obtained. When the ratio of Cd to L2 was changed from 1 : 2 to 1 : 1 in the reaction system of 5, three-dimensional (3D) {[Cd3(μ2-L2)3(dca)6]·0.75H2O}n (6) with 1D microporous channels along the a direction was isolated. Further investigations on other Cd(II) salts and the L2 ligand in a Cd to L2 ratio of 1 : 1, an unexpected complex [Cd(μ2-L2)(μ3-SO4)(H2O)]n (7) with a 3D open framework was obtained. All of the complexes exhibit strong blue fluorescence emission bands in the solid state at ambient temperature, of which the excitation and emission maxima are red-shifted to longer wavelength as compared to those in water. Powder X-ray diffraction and thermal studies were used to investigate the bulk nature of the 3D coordination polymers 6 and 7.
