“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous hybrid materials with a periodic network structure composed of metal centers and organic ligands . With the features of high specific surface area, high porosity structure, tunable pore sizes, unsaturated metal sites, structural flexibility, outstanding optical properties [such as fluorescence (FL) and ECL], and easy to assemble, MOFs show considerable capabilities in energy storage, catalysis, analytical detection, environmental monitoring, drug delivery, and development of optical materials. − Moreover, with the high porosity structure, MOFs are widely used as carriers of proteins, small organic molecules, metal clusters, and semiconductor quantum dots by adsorption, encapsulation, deposition or surface functionalization, and so on. − Some ECL luminophores such as ruthenium complexes, ABEI, nanoclusters, and quantum dots have been assembled into MOFs. − However, these research studies only focused on the ECL behaviors of the abovementioned luminophores and MOF moieties were mainly used as supporting carriers and catalysts. Until now, the PRMCECL of MOFs encapsulating luminophores has not been reported.…”
