Layer by Layer Spraying Fabrication of Aggregation‐Induced Emission Metal‐Organic Frameworks Thin Film

The development of new metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) thin films is important for expanding their functions and applications. Herein, we first report a new kind of MOF thin film by using aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) dicarboxyl ligand through a liquid‐phase epitaxial (LPE) layer‐by‐layer (LBL) spraying method (named AIE surface‐coordinated metal‐organic frameworks thin film, AIE‐SURMOF). The obtained AIE‐SURMOF Zn 4 O(TPE) 3 (ZnTPE) has highly growth orientation and homogeneous thin film, showing strong fluorescent property. Furthermore, by loading chiral guest in the MOF pore, the formed chiral encapsulated AIE‐SURMOF can clearly indicate obvious circularly polarized luminescence performance with g lum of 0.01. This study provides new MOF thin film and new strategy for expanding function and application of MOF materials.
