The peak photoluminescence (PL) of conventional fluorophores is independent of the excitation wavelength (called Kasha's rule), while the search of metal-organic framework materials with the so-called anti-Kasha's rule emission remains very limited. Herein, we report the observation of anti-Kasha's rule emission in a multicomponent PL three-dimensional nanotubular metal-organic framework ( ), [Zn(μ-L)(μ-bix)]·0.33HO [HL = biphenyl-3,5-dicarboxylic acid; bix = 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene]. The crystalline sample represents a notable example of strong excitation-dependent fluorescence from the ultraviolet to the visible spectral region. Moreover, by virtue of electronic flexibility and high PL efficiency, shows a discriminative PL response between isomeric nitroaromatic compounds. The work demonstrated the intrinsic anti-Kasha's rule emission in the crystalline-state MOF materials, providing new visions for the development of advanced solid-state emissive materials.
