Harnessing Photoinduced Azobenzene Switching for Rational Design of Smart Nanoporous Metal−Organic Frameworks
Azobenzene-functionalized metal−organic frameworks (Azo-MOFs) have emerged as versatile nanoporous platforms for constructing light-responsive materials with tunable physicochemical properties. This review critically examines their molecular design, synthesis, photo-switching mechanisms, characterization, and functio...
