<scp>Cage‐Ligand</scp> Strategy for the Construction of Zr₄(embonate)₆–Based <scp>MOFs</scp> with <scp>Third‐Order Nonlinear‐Optical</scp> Properties

Abstract

Comprehensive Summary Herein, we demonstrate a very useful strategy to construct cage‐based metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) with third‐order nonlinear‐optical properties. More specifically, by employing the Zr 4 L 6 (L = embonate) cages to assembly with N‐contained ligands and Mn 2+ /Zn 2+ ions, four Zr 4 L 6 ‐cage‐based MOFs have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Among them, a 3D framework with strong aromatic π − π stacking force exhibits a good optical limiting effect.
