Metal鈥搊rganic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for adsorption and separations. It is important to understand the details of chemical bonding between the adsorbate and structural units in the MOFs. In A100 MOF, the near-UV鈥搗isible fluorescence is found to be the intralinker fluorescence. Naphthalene and indole form the stoichiometric 鈥渉ost-guest鈥?蟺鈥撓€ adsorption complexes with A100 that contain one adsorbate molecule per two BDC linkers, and adsorption of indole causes a strong quenching of the intralinker fluorescence. The excitation wavelength dependent steady-state fluorescence spectra, the nanosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectra, and DFT calculations indicate the strong 蟺鈥撓€ interactions between adsorbed indole and naphthalene and aromatic ring of the BDC linker, as well as hydrogen bonding between adsorbed indole and COO group of the linker. Activated A100 adsorbs up to four water molecules per BDC linker. Kinetic study of adsorption of naphthalene and indole from n-alkane on hydrated A100 yields the preferential adsorption of indole as determined by the in-situ time-dependent fluorescence spectroscopy and complementary ex-situ UV鈥搗is absorption spectroscopy.
