Naphthalenediimide-Based MOF Materials with Ionochromic and Electrochromic Properties

Three novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) synthesized from a H4NDISA ligand exhibit dimension-dependent multistimulus-responsive chromism. The 1.8 MB dataset contains CIF files describing structures for Mn, Zn, and Cd-based MOFs, which change color in response to specific metal ions and electrical stimuli. Author Rong Huo uploaded this research data to figshare in April 2026 under a CC-BY-NC-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Training models for predicting chromic behavior based on MOF dimensionality and metal ion type.
• Developing visual cation detection algorithms based on the described color changes in Be2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+.
• Analyzing structure-property relationships for stimulus-responsive materials using the provided CIF structural data.
• Benchmarking electrochromic switching properties for low-energy application concepts.

Strengths

• Includes structural data (CIF files) for three distinct MOFs (Mn, Zn, and Cd-based).
• Describes specific, testable chromic responses to alkali metal, alkaline earth (Be2+), and transition metal (Fe3+, Cu2+) ions.
• Dataset is shared under a specific, open license (CC-BY-NC-4.0).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
