A 3D tetrathiafulvalene-based metal-organic framework with intramolecular charge transfer for efficient near-infrared photothermal conversion

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Sep 21;59(76):11429-11432. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03165a.

Abstract

The selection of metal centers can endow donor-metal-accepter (D-M-A) type MOFs with progressive framework dimensions. 3D Cd-based MOFs with intramolecular charge transfer caused by D-M-A exhibit a satisfactory photothermal conversion efficiency of 35.7%, with the temperature rapidly rising from 25 °C to 201 °C in 7 s under 808 nm laser irradiation.
