Abstract

Abstract : The first photoactive MOF composed of both azobenzene and diarylethene units is reported and used to modulate adsorption selectivity via light. Abstract : The first MOF (metal–organic framework) built on both diarylethene and azobenzene photochromic units is reported here and displays distinct photoresponses for different guest molecules, thus creating an easy-to-use pathway to modulate the adsorption selectivity of MOF materials.
