In this Review, we showcase the upsurge in the development and fundamental
photophysical studies of more than 100 metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as versatile …

Cooperative metal–photoswitch interfaces comprise an application-driven field which is
based on strategic coupling of metal cations and organic photochromic molecules to …

Catalysis is at the core of almost every established and emerging chemical process and also
plays a central role in the quest for novel technologies for the sustainable production and …

Light is a nearly ideal stimulus for molecular systems. It delivers information encoded in the
form of wavelengths and their intensities with high precision in space and time. Light is a …

When fabricating macroscopic devices exploiting the properties of organic chromophores,
the corresponding molecules need to be condensed into a solid material. Since optical …

In recent years, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have become an area of intense
research interest because of their adjustable pores and nearly limitless structural diversity …

The energy storage mechanism of azobenzene is based on the transformation of molecular
cis and trans isomerization, while NBD/QC, DHA/VHF, and fulvalene dimetal complexes …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline coordination polymers, assembled from
inorganic nodes connected by organic linker molecules. An enormous surface area, huge …

Metal-organic frameworks offer tremendous potential for efficient separation of molecular
mixtures. Different pore sizes and suitable functionalizations of the framework allow for an …

Molecular machines, switches, and motors enable control over nanoscale molecular motion
with unprecedented precision in artificial systems. Integration of these compounds into …
