However\, their broader impact has been li mited by the constrained diversity of structural motifs and chemical funct ionalities. In this talk\, I will present our research efforts demonstrati ng how molecular approaches drive the advancement of EC-MOFs by tailoring their electronic properties and functionalities. These strategies include novel linker design and post-synthetic modifications that leverage coordin ation chemistry to introduce functional molecules\, enabling precise contr ol over electronic\, chemical\, physical\, and optical properties. By syst ematically exploring the structure-property-performance relationships\, we aim to establish guiding principles for the rational design of high-perfo rmance EC-MOF materials tailored for emerging applications.\n\n \;\n\n About the Speaker:\n\nJihye Park is an Assistant Professor in the Chemistr y department at the University of Colorado Boulder since 2020.
