Metal-organic frameworks with a three-dimensional ordered macroporous structure: dynamic photonic materials.

ABSTRACT

Tuning MOFs When a metal-organic framework (MOF) with an ordered three-dimensional macroporous structure is integrated into a film, the resulting materials have an additional optical element, which can be used as a general and effective signal transducer. This, in combination with the hierarchical pore structure, makes these films interesting dynamic photonic materials with potential applications in sensors.
