Co-ligand tuning of MOF structural anisotropy for giant optical birefringence
The control of the structural anisotropy of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by tuning their co-ligand composition to enhance the birefringence properties is demonstrated. A set of Cd-based MOFs with three co-ligands and H<sub>4</sub>TCPB were synthesised. We experimentally revealed the evolution of the MOF structural anisotropy and birefringence, which was equal to maximal Δ<i>n</i> = 0.223 in experiments and Δ<i>n</i> = 0.58 in theory within the visible spectral range.
