Highly adjustable photonic modules were constructed based on the heterostructures crystals of a new series of donor‐acceptor metal–organic framework (D‐A MOF) featuring highly tunable thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). By introducing N‐phenylcarbazole and derivatives as donor guests into the acceptor host NKU‐111, highly tunable through‐space charge transfer based TADF could be achieved through the engineering of heavy atom effect, which result in modulatable emission wavelength (540 to 600 nm) and enhanced quantum yield (up to 30.86 %). Furthermore, by rationally integrating the D‐A MOFs with distinctive emissions, rod‐like heterostructures crystals featuring excitation position dependent tip emissions in wide wavelength range (495 to 598 nm) could be fabricated, which could serve as highly potential photonic modules for photonic circuit applications.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), as an emerging material, have achieved incredibly fine control over the arrangement and mode of interaction of the donor (D) and acceptor (A) due to the diversification of their construction and the orderly structure of the frameworks. The construction and exploration of new D–A systems in MOFs has also become a wonderful strategy for the development of MOFs in optics, electronics, magnetics, catalysis, anti-counterfeiting, and other fields. This highlight aimed to give a brief introduction to the development of D–A MOFs, and the advantages of this class of materials are summarized in the aspects of design, construction, and properties.
