Abstract:
Surface modification based on a photo-induced electron transfer (PET) reaction in a pyridinium-decorated MOF material was found to be effective in regulating adsorption capacity. The current system enables the adsorption behavior to be manipulated based on variable affinity toward guest molecules through the redistribution of charge population with the preservation of the original pore structure, which is different from the prevalent approaches depending on photoinduced changes in molecular configurations of the pore backbone.
