Metal-mediated tunability of MOF-based optical modulators

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Aug 15;59(66):9964-9967. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02180g.

Abstract

We report on the design of 1D MOFs based on a nopinane-annelated organic ligand and Co(II) or Ni(II), the variation of which allows tuning the optical modulation bandwidth. Structural and time-resolved analysis revealed the optical modulation mechanism, the rates and its endurance, thereby enriching the list of sustainable MOFs for tunable optical modulators.
