Recent Progress in Stimulus-Responsive Two-Dimensional Metal–Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) play an essential role in response to external stimuli by changing their physical or chemical properties. This Review mainly aims at the recent progress of stimuliresponse in 2D MOFs. The various external stimuli, such as ions, solvents, gas, light, electron, temperature, and others, to 2D MOFs are systematically introduced and summarized. In addition, future perspectives relate to 2D MOFs for the stimuli-response are also discussed. We hope that this Review could provide a guideline to help researchers to design new stimuli-response 2D MOFs.

Recent advances in vacancy engineering of metal‐organic frameworks and their derivatives for electrocatalysis

“…Considering the electrocatalysis of the gas‐involving reactions, it is desirable to find electrocatalysts with the abilities of fast electron/mass transport and abundant triphase regions for interface reactions 42–44 . In the past few decades, a large number of nanomaterials with superior electrocatalytic activity have been designed for electrochemical reactions, 45–50 where, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), a novel class of nanoporous materials, have acted as promising material platform with versatile applications such as catalysts, adsorbents of gas storage and separation, batteries, substrates for drug delivery and biosensors 51–66 . Owing to their intrinsic aesthetic, such as large surface area, isolated active site, open crystalline structure, and exceptional porosity, MOFs have been considered as heterogeneous electrochemical catalysts for various electrocatalysis reactions 67–73 .…”

Two new inorganic-organic hybrid compounds: photocatalytic, luminescent property and treatment activity on polycystic ovary syndrome

“…Coordination polymers (CPs) have become research hotspot at present owing to their diverse architectures and promising potentials as structural polymers in luminescence, gas sorption as well as separation, magnetism, heterogeneous catalysis and biomedicine. [3][4][5][6]. The latest developments in coordination polymer crystal engineering have innovated many synthetic techniques with high efficiency toward synthesizing coordination polymers with required frameworks and characteristics [7][8][9].…”

Thermo-responsive light-emitting metal complexes and related materials

“…[1][2][3][4] In particular, thermo-responsive functional materials with specific luminescence changes have attracted wide attention due to their potential applications in temperature sensing, [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] biological imaging, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] optoelectronic devices, [21][22][23][24][25] and information processing. [26][27][28] To date, tremendous progress has been made in the development of thermo-responsive light-emitting materials, including various organic dyes and polymers, [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] metal complexes, [38][39][40][41][42][43][44] metal clusters and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [45][46][47][48]…”
