Abstract: In this seminar, I will brief overview the history of MOF chemistry will be overviewed, and then describe our approaches on pore and function engineering to develop multifunctional MOF materials. The intrinsic optical and photonic properties of metal ions and organic ligands, and guest molecules and/or ions can be collaboratively assembled and/or encapsulated into their frameworks, so we have realized a series of novel MOF materials as luminescent sensors, ratiometric luminescent thermometers, nonlinear optical materials, two-photon pumped lasing materials, and two-photon responsive materials for 3D patterning and data storage. Thanks to the interplay of the dual functionalities of metal–organic frameworks (the inherent porosity, and the intrinsic physical and chemical properties of inorganic and organic building blocks and encapsulated guest species), our research efforts have led to the development of multifunctional MOF materials beyond our initial imaginations.
