Micropatterning In article number 2211478, Christian Doonan, Paolo Falcaro, and co-workers describe the fabrication of oriented metal–organic framework (MOF) micropatterns with anisotropic optical properties. A mixed-linker strategy is used to impart X-ray sensitivity, while heteroepitaxial growth affords orientation MOF crystals. The 3D-oriented films are patterned by resist-free photolithography. immobilized guest-molecules showcase fluorescence anisotropy.
