Recent Progress in Stimulus-Responsive Two-Dimensional Metal-Organic Frameworks

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) play an essential role in response to external stimuli by changing their physical or chemical properties. This Review mainly aims at the recent progress of stimuli-response in 2D MOFs. The various external stimuli, such as ions, solvents, gas, light, electron, temperature, and others, to 2D MOFs are systematically introduced and summarized. In addition, future perspectives relate to 2D MOFs for the stimuli-response are also discussed. We hope that this Review could provide a guideline to help researchers to design new stimuli-response 2D MOFs.
