Abstract:
A BCA cis-coordinated MOF (1) was initially discovered to exhibit electron transfer photochromism. Remarkably, the photogenerated radicals (1P) showed a maximum absorption enhancement peak at 1158 nm, resulting from the synergistic effects of planar π-conjugation induced by cis-coordination and π-π interactions among [BCA]˙˙ radicals, thereby promoting the NIR-II photothermal effect.
