Integrating magnetic and optical properties into a metal-organic framework (MOF) remains a great challenge. Herein, we have reasonably constructed two 3D magnetooptical MOFs by incorporating a [IrIII(ppy)2(bpy)]+-based fluorescent metalloligand and magnetic LnIII centers. The alternating arrangements of Δ- or Λ-[IrIII(ppy)2(bpy)]+ endow these MOFs with enhanced optical properties. Moreover, the use of DyIII leads to field-induced slow magnetic relaxation. This work provides an effective strategy for the preparation of magnetooptical bifunctional MOFs.
