Abstract:
Highly ordered chromophoric linkers positioned within the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have the potential to mimic natural light-harvesting complexes. Herein we report topological control over the photophysical properties of MOFs via modular interchromophoric electronic coupling to manifest different steady-state singlet emission spectra and their corresponding fluorescence lifetimes.
