Abstract

Herein we report the structural change and radical generation of a cadmium-based metal-organic framework (Cd-MOF) induced by external electric fields. Under a weaker single electric field, different coordination modes of Cd-L lead to 3D → 2D structural change. Under stronger superposed electric fields, Cd-MOF was excited to produce a stable free radical. This study will provide a new avenue for the controlled assembly of MOFs.
