Persistent neutral organic radicals are excellent building blocks for the design of functional molecular materials due to their unique electronic, magnetic, and optical properties. Among them, triphenylmethyl radical derivatives have attracted a lot interest as luminescent doublet emitters. Although been underexplored linkers metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), they hold great potential elements that could introduce additional electronic properties within these frameworks. Herein, we report...
