Abstract

Abstract : Lining up like soldiers – dynamic control over the orientation of free‐standing MOF crystals in different fluid matrices has been achieved through magnetic alignment. Magnetically aligned NU‐1000 crystals were shown to display an anisotropic optical response to linearly polarized excitation, underscoring the importance of controlling MOF crystal orientation.
