Professor Dohyun Moon's research lab specializes in the design and synthesis of functional metal-organic architectures, with a focus on coordination-driven self-assembly of complex nanostructures such as nanocages, metallamacrocycles, and helical coordination networks. The lab explores stimuli-responsive behavior, including fluorescence switching and redox activity, in metal-organic frameworks and discrete molecular assemblies, often leveraging unique ligand geometries and metal-ligand interactions to achieve structural complexity and functional diversity. A central theme is the development of materials with tunable optical properties and enhanced stability for applications in sensing, optoelectronics, and catalysis.

The face-driven corner-linked truncated octahedral nanocages, [Pd6L8]12+ (1, L1 = N,N',N' '-tris(3-pyridinyl)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide; 2, L2 = N,N',N' '-tris(4-pyridinylmethyl)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide), were prepared with eight C3-symmetric tridentate ligands and six square planar tetratopic palladium(II) ions. The combination of the nitrogen donor atom at a approximately 120 degrees kink position of the carboxamido pyridinyl group and the tilted pyridyl versus the facial plane of the li
Enhancement of hydrolytic stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a challenging issue in MOF chemistry because most MOFs have shown limitations in their applications under a humid environment. Meanwhile, inner sphere electron transfer has constituted one of the most intensively studied subjects in contemporary chemistry. In this report, we show, for the first time, a new conceptual coordinative reduction of Cu<sup>2+</sup> ion, which is realized in a paddlewheel MOF, HKUST-1, with a post
2-(4-(Diphenylamino)-2-methoxybenzylidene) malononitrile (DPAMBM) exhibited polymorphism, topochemical conversion, external stimuli controlled fluorescence switching and gradual fluorescence tuning from 588 nm to 545 nm.
A novel S4-symmetric icosanuclear manganese metalladiazamacrocycle was synthesized using a pentadentate ligand, N-3-phenyl-trans-2-propenoylsalicylhydrazide (H3L), that has a rigid and bulky terminal N-acyl group. A 20 cyclic repeat of an--(Mn-N-N)--linkage resulted in a highly puckered diaza-bridged 60-membered icosanuclear metallamacrocycle. The steric interaction between the ligands in the cyclic system leads to five consecutive Mn(III) centers in a chemically different--(Mn(A)Mn(B)Mn(C)Mn(D)
We report on helical coordination networks that were prepared using a hexanuclear manganese metallamacrocycle as a helical tecton. We were able to prepare the three-dimensional helical coordination networks using a hexanuclear manganese metallamacrocycle, [Mn(6)(lshz)(6)], as a helical tecton, where N-lauroyl salicylhydrazide (H(3)lshz) was used as the primary building unit to generate the helical tecton as a secondary building unit. While the 4(1)/4(3) screw symmetry-linked helical coordination
[Image: see text] Triphenylamine–benzothiazole derivatives, N-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenyl)-N-phenylbenzenamine (1), N-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-methoxyphenyl)-N-phenylbenzenamine (2), and 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-5-(diphenylamino)phenol (3), showed unusual temperature-controlled locally excited (LE) and twisted intramolecular charge-transfer (TICT) state fluorescence switching in polar solvents. The detailed photophysical studies (absorption, fluorescence, lifetime, and quantum yield) in v
By modulating the secondary building units derived from the primary building units, N-acylsalicylhydrazides (H3 xshz), we have been able to construct isostructural but tunable host networks, [Mn6(xshz)6(dmf)2(bpea)2], with different cavity sizes and shapes where the secondary building units, [Mn6(xshz)6], were linked through exo-bidentate bridging ligand, 1,2-bis(pyridyl)ethane (bpea) to form 3-D networks. With a short length linear N-acyl side chain at the primary building unit, the host networ
Pyridine appended structural isomers showed a planar or propeller conformation dependent molecular self-assembly, fluorescent polymorphs, stimuli-responsive fluorescence switching and halochromism.
