Light-Activated Molecules in Porous Crystals Enable Quantum Chemical Sensing

An international team led by Nobuhiro Yanai and Michael R. Wasielewski has developed polarized radical pairs within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which are porous materials made of metal ions linked by organic molecules. These light-activated molecules show potential for applications in quantum chemical sensing, marking a significant advancement in the use of MOFs for quantum technologies.
