AB  - Modulating the liquid phase of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) presents new opportunities for functionalizing glassy MOFs, expanding the fundamental science and practical application for this emerging family of materials. Herein, we report the fabrication of a bimetallic glassy MOF via a liquid–liquid transition process. This is achieved by introducing a robust Schiff base–cobalt functional group into Zn-ZIF-62, which attracts negatively charged imidazolate ligands, facilitating low-temperature melting. This ultimately leads to the formation of a bimetallic glassy MOF (Co/Zn-a<sub>g</sub>ZIF-62-ipy) upon melt-quenching. The material features an exceptionally high glass-forming capability, uniformly distributed bimetallic ions, and a markedly enhanced visible light photogeneration efficiency of enzymatically active nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) when compared with Co-doped ZIF-62 glass. These findings offer novel insights into modulating the liquid phase of an MOF to develop functional glassy MOF photocatalysts for coenzyme NADH regeneration and other advanced applications.
