Abstract For last two decades, metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) have attracted great research attention owing to their potential applications such as in guest molecule adsorption, separation, catalysis, and sensing. Notably, their pore sizes and properties are designable and tailorable through the judicious choice of their building blocks such as metal ions/clusters and organic ligands. Herein, a MOP consisting of a solvatochromic ligand was presented as a colorimetric sensor material. Organic solvent molecules alter the energy difference between the ground and excited electronic states of the MOP through the charge transfer process. The color change of the MOP corresponding to the organic solvents allows detecting the organic solvents with naked eyes successfully.
