Abstract

A new electron transfer type photoactive host-guest supramolecule was constructed by introducing (CH3)2NH2+ cations to the MOF. framework. The resulting compound 1 exhibits reversible photochromic property without using photochromic components, resulting from photoinduced electron-transfer between the electron-rich anionic framework and the electron-deficient guest ions. In addition, a photo-luminescence “on/off switch” occurs during the coloration-decoloration process. The raw materials are non-poisonous and harmless, hence compound 1 may be more cost-effective, clean, and harmless to the heath than existing photochromic materials.
