Abstract Self‐assembly of luminescent moieties into porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has generated many platforms for probing volatile organic molecules (VOMs). However, most those explored thus far have only been based on the luminescence intensity one transition, which is not efficient different VOMs. We synthesized a MOF material containing 1D nanotube channels, and further developed dye@MOF platform to realize VOMs by tuning energy transfer efficiency between two emissions. The exhibits excellent fingerprint correlation VOM emission peak‐height ratio ligand dye moieties. sensor self‐calibrating, stable, instantaneous, approach should be very promising strategy develop materials with unprecedented practical applications.
