Efficiently regulating the electrochromic behavior of naphthalene-diimide-based zirconium-organic frameworks through linker installation by Cha Li, Hao Zhang, Feifan Lang, Yanghe Liu, Lin Xu, Xiao-Juan Xi, Yang Li, Jiandong Pang, Hong-Cai Zhou, Xian-He Bu

“…The fabricated NKM-908 thin film exhibits a reversible electrochromic behavior, showing a color change from basically colorless to light yellow and then to green. Remarkably, two forms of distinct and precise modulations to the electrochromic performance of NKM-908 are achieved through installations of linear auxiliary bitopic carboxylate linkers (TPDC-X) into the coordination unsaturated pockets, i.e. deepening the color and deriving new colors/shifting modes. …”
