Controlling the distribution of metal nanoparticles in metal@MOF core-shell structures is not easy to realize. We applied the coordination modulation method which has been studied in the synthesis of MOF colloids to synthesize Au@ZIF-8 core-shell nanostructures. Different Au@ZIF-8 core-shell nanostructures have been achieved by employing an excess amount of 2-methylimidazole and various amount of 1-methylimidazole. With our method, the distribution of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) could be flexibly tuned in the ZIF-8 nanocrystals. Moreover, we investigated the photoluminescent spectra and lifetime of two fluorescent molecules with different sizes, combined with Au@ZIF-8 separately. The aperture size of ZIF-8 determines whether to let the molecules pass through the porous shell to approach Au NPs, and the molecular optical properties are sensitive to the competition of luminescent enhancement and fluorescent quenching of Au NPs.
