The active lone pair electron effect and highly flexible coordination geometry of Pb 2+ prevented the rational construction of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) but promoted excellent fluorescence tuning. The regulation on organic and alkali templates facilitated the assemblies of three new Pb-MOFs: [Pb 2 (pia) 2 (DMA)]•DMA (1), [Pb 2 (pia) 2 (DMF)]•1.5DMF (2), and [Pb 2 (pia) 2 (DMF)]•NEt 3 (3). They were rigid rod-spacer and double-walls frameworks, which possess defective dicubane [Pb 4 O 6 ] based metal-carboxyl chains constructed from both semidirected and holodirected Pb 2+ ions. These MOFs exhibited thermal stability up to 370 °C and unprecedented chemical stability in H 2 O and acidic (pH 2) and alkaline (pH 12) aqueous solutions, found for the first time in Pb-MOFs. A single-phase and rareearth-free white-emitting phosphor, 1, was screen out, which showed a near-sunlight and human-vision-friendly broadband spectrum covering the full visible region, possessing the close-to-pure-white chromaticity coordinates of (0.332, 0.347), a near-daylight color temperature of 5696 K, and a high color rendering index of 95. The replacement of DMF as apical ligand and guest in 2 resulted in an intrinsic single and narrow emission at 562 nm with yellow color. The convenient yellow-and-blue color-tuning until white for 2 was realized by either solution or solid blending with blue-emissive H 2 pia, benefited from their highly matched excitation spectra. Using large NEt 3 as template guest induced great framework distortion for 3 and led to white emission with chromaticity coordinates of (0.302, 0.294), stemming from nonequivalent dual emission at 450 and 545 nm. In-depth structure analysis revealed intra-/interchain Pb•••Pb interactions in the lead(II)-carboxyl chains greatly affected the photochemical output.
