Abstract

Abstract: Micro‐ and nanometer‐sized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) materials have attracted great attention due to their unique properties and various potential applications in photonics, electronics, high‐density storage, chemo‐, and biosensors. The study of these materials supplies insight into how the crystal structure, molecular components, and micro‐/nanoscale effects can influence the performance of inorganic–organic hybrid materials. In this Minireview article, we introduce recent breakthroughs in the controlled synthesis of MOF micro‐/nanomaterials with specific structures and compositions, the tunable photonic and electronic properties of which would provide a novel platform for multifunctional applications. Firstly, the design strategies for MOFs based on self‐assembly and crystal engineering principles are introduced. Attention is then focused on the methods of fabrication of low‐dimensional MOF micro‐/nanostructures. Their new applications including two‐photon excited fluorescence, multi‐photon pumped lasing, optical waveguides, nonlinear optical (NLO), and field‐effect transistors are also outlined. Finally, we briefly discuss perspectives on the further development of these hybrid crystalline micro‐/nanomaterials.
