Abstract

A novel approach to elucidate the structural, functional, and morphological properties of (in)organic materials using correlative fluorescence lifetime image microscopy and scanning electron microscopy is presented. Using this method, a correlation between the morphology and the fluorescence lifetime in a metal-organic framework (MOF) is shown. Additionally, two quenching mechanisms of fluorescein in this MOF are identified and quantified.
