A highly emissive and stable zinc(ii) metal–organic framework as a host–guest chemopalette for approaching white-light-emission†
Abstract
A new adenine-containing metal–organic framework (MOF), [Zn4O(adenine)4(benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate)4Zn2] (named as ZnBDCA), was synthesized solvothermally. ZnBDCA possesses high quantum yield (>50%) and nano-channels that can encapsulate acriflavine molecules to build a host–guest chemopalette for approaching white-light emission.
