Designing Electrochromic MOFs Khalid Al Kaabi, Minyuan Li, Mircea Dinca 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Department of Chemistry, MIT, Cambridge MA 02144 kalkaabi@mit.edu The incorporation of redox-active ligands in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can prove very promising in designing highly tunable electrochromic materials. The fundamental understanding of the host-guest interactions that govern this electrochromic behavior is essential for designing novel materials. The high porosity found in MOFs facilitates the ion transport into the pores, thus allowing for rapid switching times that can be systematically tuned. In particular, naphthalene diimide-based MOFs offer a fantastic opportunity for understanding the factors that govern the properties of these electrochromic materials due to their readily accessible reduction potentials and highly tunable electronic structure. We will present efforts on designing redox-active MOFs for electrochromic devices.
