Promoting photoswitching in mismatching mixed-linker multivariate Zr₆ MOFs.

ABSTRACT: Multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV MOFs) have emerged as promising materials due to their ability to combine properties that enhance features beyond those of their pristine counterparts. Despite the potential for tailoring electronic properties through structural distortions and defects introduced by linkers of variable lengths, examples remain scarce, and information on the electronic structure is limited. Here, we present the multivariate mismatching linker approach to generate photoswitching nanoparticulated MOFs with variable lattice parameters and porosity features controlled by mixed-linker composition. Structural defects, such as dangling linkers, are generated due to mismatching crystal lattices, tuning the electronic structure. Combining biphenyl and azobenzene ditopic lin
