Bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) capable of sensing external stimuli will provide more possibilities for further regulating third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. In this work, we synthesized bimetallic MOFs (ZnCu-MOF and ZnCd-MOF) through central metal exchange using a photoresponsive Zn-MOF as a precursor. Compared with Zn-MOF, both ZnCu-MOF and ZnCd-MOF exhibit significantly enhanced third-order NLO absorption properties. This is mainly attributed to the introduction of metal ions with different electron configurations that can adjust the bandgap of MOFs and enhance electron delocalization, thus promoting electron transfer. Interestingly, the bimetallic MOFs show a transition from reverse saturation absorption (RSA) to saturation absorption (SA) after exposure to ultraviolet irradiation, as they retain the properties of directional photogenerated electron transfer. Photoresponsive bimetallic MOFs not only have the effect of bimetallic modulation of electronic structures but also have the characteristics of photoinduced electron transfer, exhibiting diversified optical properties. These findings provide a novel method for the development of multifunctional NLO materials.
