Doping cobalt into a [Zn7] cluster-based MOF to tune magnetic behaviour and induce fluorescence signal mutation†
Abstract
An in situ doping strategy was successfully applied to tune the magnetic behaviour and induce fluorescence signal mutation of a spindle heptanuclear zinc cluster-based MOF, by only modifying its structural composition. The CoII-doped ZnII-MTV-M′MOF exhibits canted antiferromagnetism and weaker fluorescence properties.
