In multiphoton excited fluorescence (MPEF), high‐energy upconversion emission is obtained from low‐energy excitation by absorbance of two or more photons simultaneously. In a pressure‐induced fluorochromic process, the emission energy is switched by outer pressure stimuli. Now, five metal–organic frameworks containing the same ligand with simultaneous multiphoton absorption and pressure‐induced fluorochromic attributes were studied. One‐, two‐, and three‐photon excited fluorescence (1/2/3PEF) can be achieved in the frameworks, which exhibit pressure‐induced blue‐to‐yellow fluorochromism. The performances are closely dependent with the topologies, flexibilities, and packing states of the frameworks and chromophores therein. The multiphoton upconversion performance can be intensified by pressure‐related structural contraction. Over ten‐fold increment in the 2PA active cross‐section up to 2217 GM is achieved in pressed LIFM‐114 compared with the 210 GM for pristine sample at 780 nm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through dynamic spacer installation, five fluorescent metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been constructed based on a proto-MOF LIFM-28 and multivariate ligands as fluorophores. The emissions are tunable via insertion of fluorescent ligands, demonstrating a versatile approach for luminescence tuning by virtue of dynamic spacer installation using swing-role MOFs.
