Abstract
In this study, four isostructural pillar-layered frameworks were constructed using a porphyrin layer and an anthracene pillar, which served as the sensitizer and annihilator, respectively, in the triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) system. Framework 1 demonstrated the highest upconversion quantum yield of 1.01%. Additionally, 1 and 2 also exhibited down-conversion fluorescence resulting from the porphyrin component. A twist intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state was observed in the bianthracene chromophore of 2, resulting in transient rotation of two anthracene rings and red-shifted emission. Both computational studies and experiments confirmed the transition from a locally excited state to a TICT state upon the inclusion of polar guest molecules into the framework.

Abstract
The chemistry of polypyridyl Ru(II) and cyclometalated Ir(III) derivatives provides long-lasting interest to researchers due to the inherent advantage of their triplet states in a variety of photoactivities. The introduction of Ru(N^N)3 and Ir(C^N)2(X^N) modules into well-defined architectures extends the research areas of both photoactive metal complexes and network chemistry, generating a lot of new opportunities with interesting structural aesthetics and profound functional possibilities. The rapid development of research in integrating Ru(II) or Ir(III) metallotecons into the architectures has been apparent in recent years which makes this a fascinating subject for reviewing. This review focuses on the design and syntheses of Ru(N^N)3 and Ir(C^N)2(X^N) functionalized architectures of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), metallasupramolecules, organic supramolecules and supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs). Furthermore, the photocatalytic applications including the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), photocatalytic oxidation and photoredox catalysis of organic transformation are also presented.

Abstract
The emergence of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as advanced photonic materials has placed them at the forefront of exploration. Nonlinear optical (NLO) phenomena such as simultaneous two-photon absorption and consequent upconversion emission have been in demand for promising applications. A rational design approach based on the fundamental structure-property relationship is key for the fabrication of nonlinear optically active MOF materials. Here, we investigate two-photon-absorption (2PA)-induced photoluminescence of four new Cd(II) MOFs based on an acceptor-π-donor-π-acceptor trans, trans-9, 10-bis(4-pyridylethenyl)anthracene chromophore linker. The use of auxiliary carboxylate linkers resulted in the variation of crystal structures, leading to the modulation of NLO properties. On comparison with a standard Zn(II)-MOF, two MOFs showed enhancement in 2PA, while the other two showed a mild decrease. We tried to establish a structural correlation to explain the trend in NLO activity. The interplay of various factors such as chromophore density, degree of interpenetration, chromophore orientation, and π···π interactions between the individual networks affects the NLO activities. These results show the modulation of the optical properties of MOFs based on a combined strategy for the development of tunable single crystal NLO devices.

Abstract
ConspectusConducting a reaction in the solid state eliminates the usage of solvents. If such reactions are conducted in a single-crystal to single-crystal (SCSC) fashion, then structural characterization by single-crystal X-ray crystallography (SCXRD) techniques provides unequivocal structural details. Although topochemical principles govern, getting single crystals at the end of a SCSC reaction purely depends on the experimental skills of the researchers. SCSC reactions are common among solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions (hereafter "photoreaction") after the classical work of Schmidt and co-workers in 1960s. Synthons and tectons in the crystal engineering box can be exploited to bring the functional groups into the required alignment and packing to achieve the desired chemical reactivities and physical properties, respectively. Bringing a pair of alkenes closer together in the organic molecules provides an effective starting point to achieve the goal of crystal engineering.Further, understanding and controlling photoreactivity in the solid state provide a gateway to designing new advanced materials, for example, making cycloreversible optical storage materials, photosalient and photomechanical materials, highly crystalline or even single-crystalline organic polymers, covalent organic framework structures, and organic polymers incorporated inside metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Photoreactions often proceed in a SCSC manner due to the limited movements of the closely disposed reactive functional groups in the crystals. Thus, these photoreactions yield not only quantitative photoproducts but also regio- and stereospecificity, which are otherwise inaccessible by solution syntheses.The traditional definition of crystals being hard, rigid, and brittle is no longer valid ever since the mechanically responsive crystals were discovered. These dynamic crystals undergo various movements like curling, jumping, hopping, popping, splitting, and wiggling, when exposed to light (called "photosalient effect") or heat (called "thermosalient" effect). These crystals generate new methods of transforming light and heat energy into mechanical work. Recently, photosalient behavior during the [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction under UV light has been frequently observed. With the emergence of the field of "crystal adaptronics", dynamic photoreactive crystals have emerged as smart actuating materials.This Account aims to provide an overview of the development in this area, since it has garnered much attention among solid state chemists. While presenting selected examples of important strategies, we try to illustrate the intentions and concepts behind the methods developed, which will help in a rational approach for the fabrication of advanced solid state materials. Apart from topochemical transformations, the important roles played by weak interactions, guest solvents, and mechanical grinding have been highlighted in several classes of compounds to show structural transformations that defy the expected outcomes. Overall, the progress of [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction in solid state materials has been discussed from UV induced structural transformations to the development of smart actuating materials.

Abstract
A series of luminescent frameworks were synthesized from the selective combination of AIE-linker tetra-(4-carboxylphenyl)ethylene (H 4 TCPE) and Zn 2+ . Complex 1 was formed by the close packing of Zn-TCPE hinge, and isostructural complexes 2 - 5 were constructed by the linkage of Zn-TCPE layer and pillar ligand. These complexes exhibit highly efficient multiphoton excited photoluminescence (MEPL) concomitant third-harmonic generation (THG). Interestingly, multiphoton apparent parameters of 1 are far superior to some excellent multiphoton emission materials, even the perovskite nanocrystal. The incorporation of pillar linkers slows down the charge transfer between layers of Zn-TCPE, and the aromatic core of pillar linkers has a great influence on the MEA performance of corresponding frameworks. The unprecedented structural and optical tuning of high performance MPA crystalline materials provides efficient suggestion for the design of next generation multiphoton absorption materials.

Abstract
A change in the degree of interpenetration (DOI) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) prompted by heat, pressure, or exchange of solvents is a fascinating phenomenon that can potentially impact the functional properties of MOFs. Structural transformation involving two noncentrosymmetric MOFs with different DOIs provides a rare opportunity to manipulate their optical properties. Herein, we report an unusual single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation of a noncentrosymmetric 7-fold interpenetrated diamondoid (dia) Cd(II) MOF into another noncentrosymmetric but 8-fold interpenetrated dia MOF upon the removal of guest solvents. A hydrogen-bond network formed between the lattice solvents and linker trans-2-(4-pyridyl)-4-vinylbenzoate (pvb) in a 7-fold interpenetrated noncentrosymmetric MOF results in a significant increase in the two-photon absorption cross-section (11 times) as compared to that in the desolvated 8-fold interpenetrated MOF. Also, an increase in the DOI in the noncentrosymmetric crystals strengthened the π···π interaction between the individual diamondoid networks and enhanced the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient (deff) by 4.5 times. These results provide a way to manipulate the optical properties of MOFs using a combined strategy of the formation of hydrogen bonds and interpenetration for access to tunable single-crystal NLO devices in an SCSC manner. By changing the experimental conditions, another dia Cd(II) MOF with 4-fold interpenetration can be isolated. In this centrosymmetric MOF, the olefin groups in the backbone of the ligand (pvb) undergo a [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction quantitatively under UV light but in a non-SCSC fashion.

Abstract
Metal complexes have been gaining attention in recent times over the traditional inorganic materials such as nonlinear optical materials. Here, we report both two-photon absorption (2PA) and second harmonic generation (SHG) from single crystals of two Ag(I) complexes with considerable optical anisotropy. We demonstrate that by controlling the incident light polarization, the tunability between these two nonlinear optical processes can be achieved. The deff values of the observed SHG from one complex are determined to be one order of magnitude greater than β-BBO crystals.

Abstract
Following the pioneering work of Sauvage and Stoddart on rotaxanes, construction of higher dimensional polyrotaxanes in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via a modified protocol is challenging. We present the formation of a two-dimensional (2D) polyrotaxane and its conversion to a three-dimensional (3D) polyrotaxane MOF via a photoreaction between interdigitated "olefin wheels". For this purpose, a 2-fold entangled 2D MOF [Pb2(bpp)(sdc)2] (1), showing a 2D + 2D → 2D polyrotaxane motif, has been synthesized from the solvothermal reaction of lead(II) nitrate, 3,3'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid (H2sdc) containing an olefin group, and 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)piperazine (bpp). The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 revealed that the adjacent entangled 2D layers are interdigitated, with the separation of 3.72 Å between C═C bond pairs in adjacent layers satisfying Schmidt's criteria for the occurrence of a [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reaction. Irradiation of the single crystals of 1 under UV light resulted in formation of a 3D polyrotaxane, [Pb2(bpp)(rctt-tccb)]n (2), due to a [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reaction between two wheels via a single-crystal to single-crystal transformation. The photocycloaddition and partial thermal cleavage reaction between 1 and 2 were confirmed by 1H NMR and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) in solution and the solid state, respectively. The present approach could contribute to the understanding of the construction of higher dimensional polyrotaxanes which are not accessible by the traditional routes.

Abstract
Thermally responsive crystals hold great potential for their use as actuating materials by acting as energy transducers to convert heat energy to mechanical work. Control over defined phase transition temperature with rapid reconfiguration is of great advantage for actuation. The thermosalient (TS) effect is a rarely observed phenomenon in coordination polymers (CPs), let alone the reversibility of thermosalience in CPs. Herein, we report the reversible TS effect in a one-dimensional CP due to the martensitic phase transition during both heating and cooling cycles. The TS effect was preceded by anisotropic thermal expansion showing high expansion coefficients. In addition, the nonmolecular crystals show reversible contraction and recovery during multiple heating-cooling cycles due to the self-restorative shape memory effect. The reversible actuation of the CP could be repeated for 20 heating-cooling cycles in differential scanning calorimetry experiments, suggesting its great potential as a multicyclic actuator. Such thermal responsive behavior is unique in metal-organic materials.

Abstract
In a remarkable example, we report a one-dimensional coordination polymer (CP) of Pb(II) showing photosalient (PS) properties triggered by [2 + 2] cycloaddition of olefinic ligands, which is seldom observed in CPs. Macroscopic rod-shaped crystals show various photomechanical effects such as jumping, splitting, rolling, and breaking upon UV illumination. In this rare example, we could determine the solid-state structure of the 100% dimerized product and three intermediate structures, even after the shattering of crystals into small pieces. Detailed mechanistic investigation from the single-crystal data indicates that the strain generated in the unit cell due to anisotropic expansion played a bigger role for the PS effects. Nucleated growth of the photoproduct crystal created different domains inside the single crystal, which multiplied the already developed stress leading to the photomechanical movements. This example falls in the gray area of a clean single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation and violent PS effect. Such photochemical behavior has never been reported before.

Abstract
Sensing and monitoring toxic contaminants like Fe3+, CrO42-, and Cr2O72- ions in water is very important due to their harmful effects on biological and environmental systems. Enhanced hydrolytic stability, sensitivity, and selectivity, in addition to their excellent luminescence properties, are important attributes of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based sensors for sensing applications. In this work, the water stable Zn-MOF [Zn2(tpeb)(bpdc)2] (where tpeb = 1,3,5-tri-4-pyridyl-1,2-ethenylbenzene and bpdc = biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) was synthesized and characterized. The framework retains its crystallinity and structural integrity in harsh acidic and basic conditions (pH 4-11). Most interestingly, the Zn-MOF demonstrates a strong blue luminescence in water that can be quenched selectively only by contaminants like Fe3+, CrO42-, and Cr2O72- ions. Higher Ksv values and low detection limits in selective luminescence quenching confirm the superior sensing performance, which is comparable to those of contemporary materials. Furthermore, in all cases, quenching efficiency remains unaltered in the presence of interfering ions, even after the compound is used in multiple cycles, which makes this MOF an attractive, reliable, and recyclable luminescent sensor material. The luminescence quenching mechanism is based on the competitive absorption and weak interactions. It is worth noting that most of the reported MOF-based sensors used for the separate sensing of Fe(III) and chromate ions are used in organic media due to their poor hydrolytic stabilities. Reports on the dual sensing of Fe(III) and chromate ions, which are also in aqueous media, are rare. Based on these results, Zn-MOF can be considered as a suitable candidate for advanced practical applications for the efficient sensing of Fe(III) and chromate ions in water.

Abstract
Among different types of polymorphism, disappearing polymorphism deals with the metastable kinetic form which can not be reproduced after its first isolation. In the world of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), despite the fact that many types of supramolecular isomerism exist, we are unaware of disappearing supramolecular isomerism akin to disappearing polymorphism. This work reports a MOF with dia topology that could not be reproduced, but subsequent synthesis yielded another supramolecular isomer, a double-pillared-layer MOF. When perylene was added in the same reaction, the disappeared dia MOF reappeared with perylene as a guest in the channels. Interestingly, the photoluminescence of the dia MOF with a perylene guest is dominated by the emission of the guest molecule. The influence of guest molecules on the stabilization of the supramolecular isomers of a MOF opens up a strategy to access MOFs with different structures.

Abstract

This article reports three isotypical complexes, namely [Cu(benzoate)L 2], where L = 4-styryl-pyridine (4spy) (1), 2'-fluoro-4-styryl-pyridine (2F-4spy) (2) and 3'-fluoro-4-styryl-pyridine (3F-4spy) (3), which show photosalient behavior (photoinduced crystal mobility) while they undergo [2+2] cyclo-addition. These crystals also exhibit anisotropic thermal expansion when heated from room temperature to 200°C. The overall thermal expansion of the crystals is impressive, with the largest volumetric thermal expansion coefficients for 1, 2 and 3 of 241.8, 233.1 and 285.7 × 10-6 K-1, respectively, values that are comparable to only a handful of other reported materials known to undergo colossal thermal expansion. As a result of the expansion, their single crystals occasionally move by rolling. Altogether, these materials exhibit unusual and hitherto untapped solid-state properties.
