A 3D tetrathiafulvalene-based metal–organic framework with intramolecular charge transfer for efficient near-infrared photothermal conversion†
Abstract
The selection of metal centers can endow donor–metal–accepter (D–M–A) type MOFs with progressive framework dimensions. 3D Cd-based MOFs with intramolecular charge transfer caused by D–M–A exhibit a satisfactory photothermal conversion efficiency of 35.7%, with the temperature rapidly rising from 25 °C to 201 °C in 7 s under 808 nm laser irradiation.
