Nguyen MN, Turshatov A, Richards BS, Schäfer AI. Photodegradation of steroid hormone micropollutants with palladium-porphyrin coated porous PTFE of varied morphological and optical properties. WATER RESEARCH 2025; 274:123034. [PMID: 39778308 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.123034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2024] [Revised: 12/10/2024] [Accepted: 12/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2025]
Abstract
In flow-through reactors, the photodegradation rate can be improved by enhancing contact and increasing the photocatalyst loading. Both can be attained with a higher surface-to-volume ratio. While previous studies focused on thin membranes (30 - 130 µm) with small pore sizes of 20 - 650 nm, this work employed poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) supports, of which pore sizes are in the order of 10 µm, while the porosities and thicknesses are variable (22.5 - 45.3 % and 0.2 - 3 mm, respectively). These porous materials were anticipated to allow a higher loading of porphyrin photosensitisers and better light penetration for subsequent photodegradation of steroid hormone micropollutants via singlet oxygen (1O2) generation. The reactor surface refers to the surface within the PTFE pores, while the reactor volume is the total void space inside these pores. The surface-to-volume ratios between 105 and 106 m2/m3 are higher than those of typical microreactors (103 to 104 m2/m3). The weighted average light transmittance varied from 38 % with the thinnest and most porous support to 4.8 % with the thickest support. Good light penetration combined with minimal absorption by PTFE enhanced the light utilisation of the porphyrins when coated in the porous supports. Changes in the support porosity of the coated supports minimally affected steroid hormone removal, because the collision frequency in the very large pores remained relatively constant. However, varying the support thickness, porphyrin loading (0.3 - 7.7 μmol/g), and water flux (150 - 3000 L/m2.h), hence the resulting hydraulic residence time, influenced the collision frequency and steroid hormone removal. Results showed that the supports did not outperform membranes most likely because the larger pore size in the former limited contact between the hormones and 1O2. From photostability testing of the pristine supports, perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) released from the supports were found at 10 - 300 ng/L concentrations during accelerated ageing. While PFAS formation was detectable, the quantities during water treatment operations would be extremely low. In summary, this study elucidates the capability and limitations of porous supports coated with photosensitisers to remove waterborne micropollutants.

Abstract
Porphyrins are excellent light-harvesting complexes. Presently they are unsuitable for photovoltaic applications, as their excellent light absorbance is compensated to a large extent by their poor transport properties, where most excitons are lost by recombination. Arranging porphyrins in regular, strongly bound, lattices of surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks (PP-SURMOFs) may facilitate charge carrier dissociation, but does not significantly enhance the conductive properties. In most cases, photogenerated excitons traverse undirected, Brownian motion through a hopping process, resulting in a substantial diffusion length to reach electrodes, leading to significant exciton loss through recombination. Here, we propose to guide exciton diffusion indirectly by an external electric field. We show that electric fields, even as strong as 1 V nm-1, do not affect the HOMO-LUMO gap of the porphyrins. However, fields of 0.1 V nm-1 and even less demonstrate a notable Stark effect, with slight band gap reductions, for some PP-SURMOFs. When applied as an electric field gradient, for instance, via the substrate, it creates a unidirectional hopping pathway for the excitons. Consequently, we expect a significant reduction of exciton diffusion length leading to increased utilization of photogenerated excitons as they reach the electrodes. This strategy holds promise for integrating photoactive molecules in photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Photoresponsive MOFs with precise and adjustable reticular structures are attractive for light conversion applications. Uncovering the photoinduced carrier dynamics lays the essential foundation for the further development and optimization of the MOF material. With the application of time-resolved spectroscopy, photophysical processes including excimer formation, energy transfer/migration, and charge transfer/separation have been widely investigated. However, the identification of distinct photophysical processes in real experimental MOF spectra still remains difficult due to the spectral and dynamic complexity of MOFs. In this Perspective, we summarize the typical spectral features of these photophysical processes and the related analysis methods for dynamic studies performed by time-resolved photoluminescence (TR-PL) and transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. Based on the recent understanding of excited-state properties of photoresponsive MOFs and the discussion of challenges and future outlooks, this Perspective aims to provide convenience for MOF kinetic analysis and contribute to the further development of photoresponsive MOF material.

Abstract
In this report, a 2D MOF nanosheet derived Pd single-atom catalyst, denoted as Pd-MOF, was fabricated and examined for visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This Pd-MOF can provide a remarkable photocatalytic activity (a H2 production rate of 21.3 mmol/gh in the visible range), which outperforms recently reported Pt-MOFs (with a H2 production rate of 6.6 mmol/gh) with a similar noble metal loading. Notably, this high efficiency of Pd-MOF is not due to different chemical environment of the metal center, nor by changes in the spectral light absorption. The higher performance of the Pd-MOF in comparison to the analogue Pt-MOF is attributed to the longer lifetime of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs and higher charge transfer efficiency.

Abstract
In their seminal description of magnetic field effects on chemiluminescent fluid solutions, Atkins and Evans considered the spin-dependent interactions between two triplets, incorporating the effects of the diffusion of the molecules in the liquid phase. Their results, crucial for the advancement of photochemical upconversion, have received renewed attention due to the increasing interest in triplet-triplet annihilation for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. Here we revisit their approach, using a modern formulation of open quantum system dynamics and extend their results. We provide corrections to the theory of the magnetic field response of the fluorescent triplet pair state with singlet multiplicity. These corrections are timely, as improvements in the precision and range of available experimental methods are supported by the determination of quantitatively accurate rotational and interaction model parameters. We then extend Atkins and Evans' theory to obtain the magnetic field response of triplet pair states with triplet and quintet multiplicity. Although these states are not optically active, transitions between them are becoming imperative to study the working mechanism of spin-mediated upconversion and downconversion processes, thanks to advances in electron spin resonance and time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy.

Abstract
A noncovalent integration of nanosheets of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and the zinc porphyrin complex Zn(II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (ZnTCPP) through coordination bonding with metal clusters of zinc acetate (Zn[OAc]2) was applied for synthesis of stable hybrid nanomaterial avoiding surface prefunctionalization. The X-ray powder diffraction in combination with the BET nitrogen adsorption method confirms formation of a ZnTCPP-based surface-attached metal-organic framework (SURMOF) with micropores of 1.63 nm on the MoS2 nanosheets. Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between MoS2 and ZnTCPP without contact quenching. Fluorescent trapping with terephthalic acid for hydroxyl radicals and Sensor Green for singlet oxygen was applied for studying the pathways of photodegradation of model organic pollutant 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) in the presence of SURMOF/MoS2. Visible light initiates sensitization through the excitation of ZnTCPP generating singlet oxygen, whereas UV-light promotes either aerobic FRET-mediated "Z scheme" or anaerobic "Type II heterojunction" mechanisms. Owing to its multimodal photochemistry, the SURMOF/MoS2 hybrid showed comparatively high photocatalytic activity in UV-assisted degradation of DHN (keffUV = 4.0 × 10-2 min-1) as well as the antibacterial activity confirmed by E. coli survival test under visible light. Noncovalent self-assembly utilizing coordination bonding in SURMOFs as supramolecular adhesive to avoid surface premodification provides a basis for new types of multicomponent nanosystems with switchable functionalities by combining different 2D materials and chromophores in one hybrid structure.

Abstract
High quantum yield triplets, populated by initially prepared excited singlets, are desired for various energy conversion schemes in solid working compositions like porous MOFs. However, a large disparity in the distribution of the excitonic center of mass, singlet-triplet intersystem crossing (ISC) in such assemblies is inhibited, so much so that a carboxy-coordinated zirconium heavy metal ion cannot effectively facilitate the ISC through spin-orbit coupling. Circumventing this sluggish ISC, singlet fission (SF) is explored as a viable route to generating triplets in solution-stable MOFs. Efficient SF is achieved through a high degree of interchromophoric coupling that facilitates electron super-exchange to generate triplet pairs. Here we show that a predesigned chromophoric linker with extremely poor ISC efficiency (kISC ) butE S 1 ≥ 2 E T 1 ${{E}_{{S}_{1}}\ge {2E}_{{T}_{1}}}$ form triplets in MOF in contrast to the frameworks that are built from linkers with sizable kISC butE S 1 ≤ 2 E T 1 ${{E}_{{S}_{1}}\le {2E}_{{T}_{1}}}$ . This work opens a new photophysical and photochemical avenue in MOF chemistry and utility in energy conversion schemes.

Abstract
3D-[Zn4O(1,4-BDC)3•x(solvent)]n (MOF-5; BDC = 1,4-benzodicarboxylate) and 3D-[Zn2(BTTB)(DMF)2•(H2O)3]n (MOF-D; BTTB = 4,4',4″,4‴-benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrayltetrabenzoate) have been investigated by means of steady-state UV-visible and fluorescence and time-resolved emission spectroscopy, as a function of solvent and power of the excitation irradiation. The low-temperature X-ray structures (173 K) were permitted to locate solvent molecules (here H2O) in the lattice. They were found distributed in the middle in the voids with no evidence of specific interactions (H-bond, coulombic, and dipole-dipole) with the framework. The fluorescence decays of the ligands (ππ* excited state), τF, for the host-guest composites MOF-5@solvent and MOF-D@solvent (solvent = air, MeCN, EtCN, MeOH, EtOH, and DMF) were found bi-exponential (short τF1 (ps), and long τF2 (ns)) with one important feature: upon cooling from 298 to 77 K, MOF-5's τF1 decreases and τF2 increases, while the opposite trend is generally observed in MOF-D. The low values for τF1 (ps) in MOF-5 are associated with the augmented probability of solvent-ligand collisions leading to nonradiative deactivation, which upon cooling to 77 K increases further as the scaffolding contracts. The augmentation in τF2 is readily associated with the increased rigidity of the ligands that are not submitted to this effect (at the surface of the MOF and as pendent groups). For the low emitter MOF-D, the reversed situation is noted but not as clearly due to the uncertainties in the data. Upon increasing the excitation flux, the fluorescence intensity increases linearly with the laser power indicating the absence of singlet-singlet annihilation, inferring the absence of efficient exciton migration. This observation is explained by the small absorptivity coefficients, which leads to a small J spectral overlap between absorption and fluorescence according to the Forster and Dexter theories, and consequently, a small rate for energy migration. This conclusion drastically changes the perception of the photocatalytic mechanism of MOF-5 and other MOFs exhibiting similar absorption features (i.e., no antenna effect).

Abstract
Singlet fission (SF) has been explored as a viable route to improve photovoltaic performance by producing more excitons. Efficient SF is achieved through a high degree of interchromophoric coupling that facilitates electron superexchange to generate triplet pairs. However, strongly coupled chromophores often form excimers that can serve as an SF intermediate or a low-energy trap site. The succeeding decoherence process, however, requires an optimum electronic coupling to facilitate the isolation of triplet production from the initially prepared correlated triplet pair. Conformational flexibility and dielectric modulation can provide a means to tune the SF mechanism and efficiency by modulating the interchromophoric electronic interaction. Such a strategy cannot be easily adopted in densely stacked traditional organic solids. Here, we show that the assembly of the SF-active chromophores around well-defined pores of solution-stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be a great platform for a modular SF process. A series of three new MOFs, built out from 9,10-bis(ethynylenephenyl)anthracene-derived struts, show a topology-defined packing density and conformational flexibility of the anthracene core to dictate the SF mechanism. Various steady-state and transient spectroscopic data suggest that the initially prepared singlet population can prefer either an excimer-mediated SF or a direct SF (both through a virtual charge-transfer (CT) state). These solution-stable frameworks offer the tunability of the dielectric environment to facilitate the SF process by stabilizing the CT state. Given that MOFs are a great platform for various photophysical and photochemical developments, generating a large population of long-lived triplets can expand their utilities in various photon energy conversion schemes.

Abstract
Establishing green and reliable energy resources is very important to counteract the carbon footprints and negative impact of non-renewable energy resources. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous material finding numerous applications due to their exceptional qualities, such as high surface area, low density, superior structural flexibility, and stability. Recently, increased attention has been paid to surface mounted MOFs (SURMOFs), which is nothing but thin film of MOF, as a new category in nanotechnology having unique properties compared to bulk MOFs. With the advancement of material growth and synthesis technologies, the fine tunability of film thickness, consistency, size, and geometry with a wide range of MOF complexes is possible. In this review, we recapitulate various synthesis approaches of SURMOFs including epitaxial synthesis approach, direct solvothermal method, Langmuir-Blodgett LBL deposition, Inkjet printing technique and others and then correlated the synthesis-structure-property relationship in terms of energy storage and conversion applications. Further the critical assessment and current problems of SURMOFs have been briefly discussed to explore the future opportunities in SURMOFs for energy storage and conversion applications.

Abstract
The effect of triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) on the room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is studied in benchmark RTP MOFs based on Zn metal centers and isophthalic or terephthalic acid linkers (ZnIPA and ZnTPA). The ratio of RTP to singlet fluorescence is observed to decrease with increasing excitation power density. Explicitly, in ZnIPA the ratio of the RTP to fluorescence is 0.58 at 1.04 mW cm-2, but only 0.42 at (the still modest) 52.6 mW cm-2. The decrease in ratio is due to the reduction of RTP efficiency at higher excitation due to TTA. The density of triplet states increases at higher excitation power densities, allowing triplets to diffuse far enough during their long lifetime to meet another triplet and annihilate. On the other hand, the shorter-lived singlet species can never meet an annihilate. Therefore, the singlet fluorescence scales linearly with excitation power density whereas the RTP scales sub-linearly. Equivalently, the efficiency of fluorescence is unaffected by excitation power density but the efficiency of RTP is significantly reduced at higher excitation power density due to TTA. Interestingly, in time-resolved measurements, the fraction of fast decay increases but the lifetime of long tail of the RTP remains unaffected by excitation power density. This may be due to the confinement of triplets to individual grains, leading decay to be faster until there is only one triplet per grain left. Subsequently, the remaining "lone triplets" decay with the unchanging rate expressed by the long tail. These results increase the understanding of RTP in MOFs by explicitly showing the importance of TTA in determining the (excitation power density dependent) efficiency of RTP. Also, for applications in optical sensing, these results suggest that a method based on long tail lifetime of the RTP is preferable to a ratiometric approach as the former will not be affected by variation in excitation power density whereas the latter will be.

Abstract
The development of materials with outstanding performance for sensitive and selective detection of multiple analytes is essential for the development of human health and society. Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) have controllable surface and pore sizes and excellent optical properties. Therefore, a variety of LMOF-based sensors with diverse detection functions can be easily designed and applied. Furthermore, the introduction of energy transfer (ET) into LMOFs (ET-LMOFs) could provide a richer design concept and a much more sensitive and accurate sensing performance. In this review, we focus on the recent five years of advances in ET-LMOF-based sensing materials, with an emphasis on photochemical and photophysical mechanisms. We discuss in detail possible energy transfer processes within a MOF structure or between MOFs and guest materials. Finally, the possible sensing applications of the ET-LMOF-based sensors are highlighted.

Abstract
Selectively blocking undesirable exciton transfer pathways is crucial for utilizing exciton conversion processes that involve participation of multiple chromophores. This is particularly challenging for solid-state systems, where the chromophores are fixed in close proximity. For instance, the low efficiency of solid-state triplet–triplet upconversion calls for inhibiting the parasitic singlet back-transfer without blocking the flow of triplet excitons. Here, we present a reticular chemistry strategy that inhibits the resonance energy transfer of singlet excitons. Within a pillared layer metal–organic framework (MOF), pyrene-based singlet donors are situated perpendicular to porphyrin-based acceptors. High resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction enable direct visualization of the structural relationship between donor and acceptor (D–A) chromophores within the MOF. Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements reveal that the structural and symmetry features of the MOF reduce the donor-to-acceptor singlet transfer efficiency to less than 36% compared to around 96% in the control sample, where the relative orientation of the donor and acceptor chromophores cannot be controlled. A strategy is designed to selectively block undesirable pathways in photophysical processes that consist of a mixture of Förster and Dexter energy transfer steps.![]()

Abstract
Excited state energy transfer in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is of great interest due to potential application of these materials in photocatalysis and fluorescence sensing. In photocatalysis, a light-harvesting antenna of MOFs can collect energy from a much larger area than a single reaction center and efficiently transport the energy to the active site to enhance photocatalytic efficiency, mimicking nature photosynthesis. In fluorescence sensing, excited state traveling on the framework can search for analyte quencher molecules to give amplified fluorescence quenching, so that one quencher turns off multiple excited states to enhance signal. Key to these designer performances is highly efficient energy transfer on these framework materials that are determined by types of excited states, dimension of the materials, and structure of the frameworks. Advancement of MOF synthetic chemistry provides new tools to control the rate and directionality of energy transfer in these materials, opening opportunities in manipulating excited states at an unprecedented level.

Abstract
Time-resolved spectroscopy is an essential part of both fundamental and applied chemical research. Such techniques access light-initiated dynamics on time scales ranging from femtosecond to microsecond. Many techniques falling under this description have been applied to gain significant insight into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a diverse class of porous coordination polymers. MOFs are highly tunable, both compositionally and structurally, and unique challenges are encountered in applying time-resolved spectroscopy to interrogate their light-initiated properties. These properties involve various excited state mechanisms such as crystallographically defined energy transfer, charge transfer, and localization within the framework, photoconductivity, and structural dynamics. The field of time-resolved MOF spectroscopic studies is quite nascent; each original report cited in this review was published within the past decade. As such, this review is a timely and comprehensive summary of the most significant contributions in this emerging field, with focuses on the overarching spectroscopic concepts applied and on identifying key challenges and future outlooks moving forward.

Abstract
This Letter describes strong coupling of densely packed molecular emitters in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) lattices. Porphyrin-derived ligands with small transition dipole moments in an ordered MOF film were grown on Ag NP arrays. Angle-resolved optical measurements of the MOF-NP lattice system showed the formation of a polariton that is lower in energy and does not cross the uncoupled MOF Q1 band. Modeling predicted the upper polariton energy and a calculated Rabi splitting of 110 meV. The coupling strength was systematically controlled by detuning the plasmon energy by changing the refractive index of the solvents infiltrating the MOF pores. Through transient absorption spectroscopy, we found that the lower polariton decays quickly at shorter time scales (<500 ps) and slowly at longer times because of energy transfer from the upper polariton. This hybrid system demonstrates how MOFs can function as an accessible excitonic material for polariton chemistry.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous materials composed of organic linkers and metal centers/clusters. The integration of MOFs onto the solid surface as thin films/coatings has spurred great interest, thanks to leveraging control over their morphology (such as size- and shape-regulated crystals) and orientation, flexible processability, and easy recyclability. These aspects, in synergy, promise a wide range of applications, including but not limited to gas/liquid separations, chemical sensing, and electronics. Dozens of innovative methods have been developed to manipulate MOFs on various solid substrates for academic studies and potential industrial applications. Among the developed deposition methods, the liquid-phase epitaxial layer-by-layer (LPE-LbL) method has demonstrated its merits over precise control of the thickness, roughness, homogeneity, and orientations, among others. Herein, we discuss the major developments of surface-mounted MOFs (SURMOFs) in LbL process optimization, summarizing the SURMOFs' performance in different applications, and put forward our perspective on the future of SURMOFs in terms of advances in the formulation, applications, and challenges. Finally, future prospects and challenges with respect to SURMOFs growth will be discussed, keeping the focus on their widening applications.

Abstract
Plasmonic metal nanoparticles (NPs) can be used as enhancers of the efficiency of standard photosensitizers (PSs) in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Protein corona, the adsorption layer that forms spontaneously around NPs once in contact with biological fluids, determines to a great extent the efficiency of PDT. In this work, we explore the possibility that pectin-coated Au NPs (Au@Pec NPs) could act as adjuvants in riboflavin (Rf)-based PDT by comparing the photodamage in HeLa cells cultured in the presence and in the absence of the NPs. Moreover, we investigate the impact that the preincubation of Rf and Au@Pec NPs (or Ag@Pec NPs) at two very different serum concentrations could have on cell's photodamage. Because reactive oxygen species (ROS) precursors are the excited states of the PS, the effect of proteins on the photophysics of Rf and Rf/plasmonic NPs was studied by transient absorption experiments. The beneficial effect of Au@Pec NPs in Rf-based PDT on HeLa cells cultured under standard serum conditions was demonstrated for the first time. However, the preincubation of Rf and Au@Pec NPs (or Ag@Pec NPs) with serum has undesirable results regarding the enhancement of Rf-based PDT. In this sense, we also verified that more concentrated protein conditions result in lower amounts of the triplet excited state of Rf and thus an expected lower production of ROS, which are the key elements for PDT's efficacy. These findings point out the relevance of serum concentration in the design of in vitro cell culture experiments carried out to determine the best way to combine and use potential sensitizers with plasmonic NPs to develop more effective PDTs.

Abstract
Owing to their excellent physical and electrical properties, metal-organic framework (MOF) materials with well-defined supramolecular structures have received extensive research attention. However, the fabrication of large-area two-dimensional (2D) MOF films is still a significant challenge. Herein, we propose a novel electrochemical (EC) synthesis method for the preparation of large-area Cu3 (HHTP)2 MOF film on single-crystal Cu (100) anode. The surface reaction was achieved via charge-induced molecular assembly. The synthesized MOF film exhibited a high crystalline quality with an electrical conductivity of approximately 0.087 S cm-1 , which was around 1000 times larger than the previously reported values for the same material prepared by the interface method. In addition, Cu2 (MTCP), Cu3 (BTPA)2 , and Cu3 (TPTC)2 MOF films were synthesized on Cu foil with the same strategy, which confirmed the universality of the proposed method. This controllable EC method can be effectively applied to the industrial-scale production of 2D MOF films on Cu foil.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a novel strategy to precisely control the alignment of molecules to enhance exciton diffusion for high-performance organic semiconductors. In this paper, we characterize exciton dynamics in highly ordered and crystalline porphyrin MOF nanofilms by time-resolved photoluminescence and femtosecond-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. Results suggest that porphyrin MOF nanofilms could be a promising candidate for high-performance organic photovoltaic semiconductors in which the diffusion coefficient and diffusion length of excitons are 9.0 × 10-2 cm2 s-1 and 16.6 nm, respectively, comparable with or even beyond that of other excellent organic semiconductors. Moreover, by monitoring real-time exciton dynamics it is revealed that excitons in MOF nanofilms undergo high-efficient intermolecular hopping and multiexciton annihilation due to the short intermolecular distance and aligned molecular orientation in MOF structure, thus providing new insights into the underlying physics of exciton dynamics and many-body interaction in molecular assembled systems.

Abstract
In recent years, optical and electronic properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have increasingly shifted into the focus of interest of the scientific community. Here, we discuss a strategy for conveniently tuning these properties through electrostatic design. More specifically, based on quantum-mechanical simulations, we suggest an approach for creating a gradient of the electrostatic potential within a MOF thin film, exploiting collective electrostatic effects. With a suitable orientation of polar apical linkers, the resulting non-centrosymmetric packing results in an energy staircase of the frontier electronic states reminiscent of the situation in a pin-photodiode. The observed one dimensional gradient of the electrostatic potential causes a closure of the global energy gap and also shifts core-level energies by an amount equaling the size of the original band gap. The realization of such assemblies could be based on so-called pillared layer MOFs fabricated in an oriented fashion on a solid substrate employing layer by layer growth techniques. In this context, the simulations provide guidelines regarding the design of the polar apical linker molecules that would allow the realization of MOF thin films with the (vast majority of the) molecular dipole moments pointing in the same direction.

Abstract
The spatial orientation of chromophores defines the photophysical and optoelectronic properties of a material and serves as the main tunable parameter for tailoring functionality. Controlled assembly for achieving a predefined spatial orientation of chromophores is rather challenging. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an attractive platform for exploring the virtually unlimited chemical space of organic components and their self-assembly for device optimization. Here, we demonstrate the impact of interchromophore interactions on the photophysical properties of a surface-anchored MOF (SURMOF) based on 3,9-perylenedicarboxylicacid linkers. We predict the structural assembly of the perylene molecules in the MOF via robust periodic density functional theory calculations and discuss the impact of unit topology and π-π interaction patterns on spectroscopic and semiconducting properties of the MOF films. We explain the dual nature of excited states in the perylene MOF, where strong temperature-modulated excimer emission, enhanced by the formation of perylene J-aggregates, and low stable monomer emission are observed. We use band-like and hopping transport mechanisms to predict semiconducting properties of perylene SURMOF-2 films as a function of inter-linker interactions, demonstrating both p-type and n-type conduction mechanisms. Hole carrier mobility up to 7.34 cm2Vs-1is predicted for the perylene SURMOF-2. The results show a promising pathway towards controlling excimer photophysics in a MOF while controlling charge carrier mobility on the basis of a predictive model.

Abstract
In recent years, the photophysical properties of crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become increasingly relevant for their potential application in light-emitting devices, photovoltaics, nonlinear optics and sensing. The availability of high-quality experimental data for such systems makes them ideally suited for a validation of quantum mechanical simulations, aiming at an in-depth atomistic understanding of photophysical phenomena. Here we present a computational DFT study of the absorption and emission characteristics of a Zn-based surface-anchored metal-organic framework (Zn-SURMOF-2) containing anthracenedibenzoic acid (ADB) as linker. Combining band-structure and cluster-based simulations on ADB chromophores in various conformations and aggregation states, we are able to provide a detailed explanation of the experimentally observed photophysical properties of Zn-ADB SURMOF-2: The unexpected (weak) red-shift of the absorption maxima upon incorporating ADB chromophores into SURMOF-2 can be explained by a combination of excitonic coupling effects with conformational changes of the chromophores already in their ground state. As far as the unusually large red-shift of the emission of Zn-ADB SURMOF-2 is concerned, based on our simulations, we attribute it to a modification of the exciton coupling compared to conventional H-aggregates, which results from a relative slip of the centers of neighboring chromophores upon incorporation in Zn-ADB SURMOF-2.

Abstract
Palladium complexes of corrole and sapphyrin were prepared in high yield and fully characterized. The corrole provides a tetradentate/trianionic square planar coordination sphere for PdII , charge balanced by pyridinium. Both one and two PdII ions may be accommodated by the pentapyrrolic skeleton of the sapphyrin, and in each case the macrocycle acts as bidentate/monoanionic ligand and the inner-sphere square planar geometry is completed by allyl anions coordinated in an η3 fashion. NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography data analyses uncovered the presence of interesting stereoisomers due to the flexibility of the ally ligands and also the pyrrole ring(s) that is/are not involved in metal binding.

Abstract
When fabricating macroscopic devices exploiting the properties of organic chromophores, the corresponding molecules need to be condensed into a solid material. Since optical absorption properties are often strongly affected by interchromophore interactions, solids with a well-defined structure carry substantial advantages over amorphous materials. Here, the metal-organic framework (MOF)-based approach is presented. By appropriate functionalization, most organic chromophores can be converted to function as linkers, which can coordinate to metal or metal-oxo centers so as to yield stable, crystalline frameworks. Photoexcitations in such chromophore-based MOFs are surveyed, with a special emphasis on light-switchable MOFs from photochromic molecules. The conventional powder form of MOFs obtained using solvothermal approaches carries certain disadvantages for optical applications, such as limited efficiency resulting from absorption and light scattering caused by the (micrometer-sized) powder particles. How these problems can be avoided by using MOF thin films is demonstrated.

Abstract
A new coordination polymer (CP) defined as [Cu2Cl2(EtS(CH2)4SEt)4]n (CP2) was prepared by reacting EtS(CH2)4SEt with CuCl in acetonitrile in a 1 : 2 stoichiometric ratio. The X-ray structure reveals formation of non-porous 3D material composed of parallel 2D-[Cu2Cl2S2]n layers of Cl-bridged Cu2(μ-Cl)2 rhomboids assembled by EtS(CH2)4SEt ligands. A weak triplet emission (Φe < 0.0001) is observed in the 400-500 nm range with τe of 0.93 (298 K) and 3.5 ns (77 K) as major components. CP2 is the only 2nd example of emissive thioether/CuCl-containing material and combined DFT/TDDFT computations suggest the presence of lowest energy M/XLCT excited states. Upon increasing the photon flux (i.e. laser power), a triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) is induced with quenching time constants of 72 ps (kQ = 1.3 × 1010 s-1) and 1.0 ns (kQ = 7.1 × 108 s-1) at 298 and 77 K, respectively, proceeding through an excitation energy migration operating via a Dexter process. Two distinct (Io)1/2 (Io = laser power) dependences of the emission intensity are depicted, indicating saturation as the observed emission increases with the excitation flux. These findings differ from that previously reported isomorphous CP [Cu2Br2(μ-EtS(CH2)4SEt)4]n (CP1), which exhibits no TTA behaviour at 77 K, and only one (laser power)2 dependence at 298 K. The ∼18-fold increase in kQ upon warming CP2 from 77 to 298 K indicates a temperature-aided TTA process. The significant difference between the presence (slower, CP2) and absence (CP1) of TTA at 77 K is explained by the larger unit cell contraction of the former upon cooling. This is noticeable by the larger change in inter-rhomboid CuCu separation for CP2.
