1D nanochannels modified with responsive molecules are fabricated to replicate gating functionalities of biological ion channels, but gating effects are usually weak because small molecular gates cannot efficiently block the large channels in the closed states. Now, 3D metal-organic framework (MOF) sub-nanochannels (SNCs) confined with azobenzene (AZO) molecules achieve efficient light-gating functionalities. The 3D MOFSNCs consisting of a MOF UiO66 with ca. 9-12 angstrom cavities connected by ca. 6 angstrom triangular windows work as angstrom-scale ion channels, while confined AZO within the MOF cavities function as light-driven molecular gates to efficiently regulate the ion flux. The AZO-MOFSNCs show good cyclic gating performance and high on-off ratios up to 17.8, an order of magnitude higher than ratios observed in conventional 1D AZO-modified nanochannels (1.3-1.5). This work provides a strategy to develop highly efficient switchable ion channels based on 3D porous MOFs and small responsive molecules.
