Four pillar-layered AIEgen-based MOFs exhibit higher thermal stability, tunable emission colors and improved QYs compared with that of non-pillar-layered AIEgen-based MOFs by confining the AIE ligands into layers. These results reveal that rationally manipulating AIE ligands into layers of pillar-layered MOFs is an effective strategy for the design and construction of tunable luminescent MOF systems.
