Functionalizing the pore wall of chiral porous metal–organic frameworks by distinct –H, –OH, –NH2, –NO2, –COOH shutters showing selective adsorption of CO2, tunable photoluminescence, and direct white-light emission

This work presents a prototype of chiral porous metal-organic framework with the porous wall decorated by different functional groups. The special structure in conjunction with the gas adsorption results reveals some relationship between CO2 adsorption and functional points. Moreover, outstanding tunable photoluminescence and direct white-light emission is observed.
