abstract = {We have synthesized a novel three-dimensional metal-organic-framework (MOF) based on the
perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylate linker and potassium as metallic centre. We report the formation
of this K-based MOF using conventional routes with water as solvent. This material displays intense
green photoluminescence at room temperature, and displays an aggregation dependent quenching.
Correlation of the optical properties with the crystalline packing was confirmed by DFT calculations. We
also demonstrate its potential to build humidity actuators with a reversible and reproducible response,
with a change of 5 orders of magnitudes in its impedance at about 40% relative humidity (RH). This
3D-MOF is based on an interesting perylene derivative octadentate ligand, a moiety with interesting
fluorescent properties and known component in organic semiconductors. To the best of our knowledge,
this is the first time to build such a printed and flexible actuator towards humidity with a reversible
response, enabling precise humidity threshold monitoring.},
