Dynamic Variation of Responsive Metal-Organic Frameworks toward Specific Stimuli

The studies on dynamic changes in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) induced by various external stimuli have attracted great attention fields and been continuously investigated since the appearance of MOFs, porous crystalline materials. Many interesting phenomena occurred frameworks, for example, breathing, swelling, linker rotation subnetwork displacement, as well solid-state transformation accompanying with bond formation/deformation are observed through advanced techniques. In this account, we will summarize our efforts to expand related research field, focusing specific stimuli, including guest molecules (gas, solvent, other organic molecules) UV irradiation, an elucidation applications achieved responsive MOFs.
