Multidirectional color palette of electrochromic metal-organic frameworks.

ABSTRACT: Electrochromic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) combine advantages from both inorganic/organic electrochromic materials by enabling stable structures/performances as well as tunable functionalities. Their current design and synthesis, however, are inherently complicated, as they often involve amendments to the chromogenic components and/or MOF structures. Inspired by reticular chemistry, we herein demonstrate a multidirectional 'color palette' based on the colorful electrochromic behaviors across a total of 40 zirconium-based MOFs via systematically combining diverse naphthalene diimide (NDI)-based primary linkers (R-groups) and auxiliary linkers (X-groups), namely the NKM-908-R/NKM-906-R series (csq/scu topology) and their corresponding NKM-908-R-TPDC-X/NKM-906-R-TPDC-X deriv
