Regulating Planarized Intramolecular Charge Transfer for Efficient Single-Phase White-Light Emission in Undoped Metal–Organic Framework Nanocrystals

The technology of combining multiple emission centers to exploit white-light-emitting (WLE) materials by taking advantage of porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is mature, but preparing undoped WLE MOFs remains a challenge. Herein, a pressure-treated strategy is reported to achieve efficient white photoluminescence (PL) in undoped [Zn(Tdc)(py)]
