Manganese-based metal–organic frameworks with nickel porphyrin for highly selective photocatalytic oxidation of benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds

Abstract

Here, we report a nickel porphyrin–based manganese metal–organic framework photocatalyst that can activate molecular oxygen to generate singlet oxygen under mild conditions, achieving high selectivity in the photocatalytic oxidation of benzylic C(sp³)–H bonds.
