    Herein we report two new TPE‐based 3D MOFs, that is, Sr‐ETTB and Co‐ETTB (TPE=Tetraphenylethylene, H8ETTB=4′,4′′′,4′′′′′,4′′′′′′′‐(ethene‐1,1,2,2‐tetrayl)tetrakis((1,1′‐biphenyl‐3,5‐dicarboxylic acid))). Through tailoring outer shell electron configurations of SrII and CoII cations, the fluorescence intensity of the MOFs is tuned from high emission to complete non‐emission. Sr‐ETTB with strong blue fluorescence shows reversible fluorescence variations in response to pressure and temperature, which is directly related to the reversible deformation of the crystal structure. In addition, non‐emissive Co‐ETTB counterpart exhibits a turn‐on fluorescent enhancement under the stimulation of analyte histidine. In the process, TPE‐cored linkers in the MOFs are released through competitive coordination substitution and subsequently reassembled to perform aggregation‐induced luminescence behavior originated from the organic linkers. Two new tetraphenylethylene‐based 3D MOFs are obtained. Sr‐ETTB performs uncommon reversible thermo/piezofluorochromism and thermo/piezochromic behaviors which are driven by its characteristic crystalline framework flexibility. Non‐emissive Co‐ETTB exhibits a turn‐on fluorescent enhancement under the stimulation of analyte histidine.
