Abstract: Photonics plays an essential role in many fields including communication technologies, information processing, military, and biomedicine. The development of novel photonic materials with desired properties is of crucial importance and will be the most dominating forces in the field of photonics. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as particularly exciting inorganic-organic hybrid porous materials which can be simply self-assembled from their corresponding inorganic metal ions/clusters with organic linkers. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can combine the inherent physical and chemical properties of both inorganic and organic photonic units. Furthermore, the pores within MOFs can also be utilized to encapsulate a large number of guest species as photonic units. The vast combination possibilities, synergistic effect, as well as controllable and ordered arrangements of multiple photonic units (MPUs) have distinguished MOFs from other inorganic and organic photonics materials and enabled them to be a promising platform to realize novel photonics functional applications. Herein, we describe our recent research progress on MPUs construction to develop a series of novel photonics applications, such as ratiometric luminescent thermometers, O₂ sensors, white-light-emitting phosphor, nonlinear optical double-frequency, two-photon pumped lasing, and two-photon responsive 3D patterning and data storage.

Keywords: Metal-organic frameworks; Luminescence; Nonlinear optical; Photonics.
