Porous organic frameworks have emerged as the promising platforms to construct tunable microlasers. Most of these microlasers are achieved from metal-organic frameworks via meticulously accommodating the laser dyes with the sacrifice of the pore space, yet they often suffer from the obstacles of either relatively limited gain concentration or sophisticated fabrication techniques. Herein, we reported on the first hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) microlasers with color-tunable performance based on conformation-dependent stimulated emissions. Two types of HOF microcrystals with the same gain lumnogen as the building block were synthesized via a temperature-controlled self-assembly method. The distinct frameworks offer different conformations of the gain building block, which lead to great impacts on their conjugation degrees and excited-state processes, resulting in remarkably distinct emission colors (blue and green). Accordingly, blue/green-color lasing actions were achieved in these two types of HOFs based on well-faceted assembled wire-like cavities. These results offer a deep insight on the exploitation of HOF-based miniaturized lasers with desired nanophotonics performances.
